Best Safest Stocks To Own For 2019

tags:BKEP,LKQ,AMWD,TTOO,

We have been fans of DNB (OTCPK:DNHBY) (OTCPK:DNBHF) for quite a long time now. It is the largest financial services group in Norway, and, more importantly, one of the safest banks in the world. A little less than a year ago, we said that DNB was offering a 'once-in-a-lifetime' buying opportunity. Our high-conviction contrarian call was based on the fact that DNB was trading at a very undemanding valuation, despite having a double-digit RoE, strong capital ratios and a 6% dividend yield. We also argued that market fears over the bank's asset quality issues were overdone as DNB has a prudent risk management approach. Since that, DNB's shares have rallied by 55%. And that does not include the stock's generous dividends.
