City File: Healthy yields
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.HOW times change. A couple of years ago, few people cared about the dividend yield on drug stocks because of their superb growth potential.
But what with worldwide healthcare reform, problems at Fisons and Wellcome and a collapse in drug stock ratings, the yield on many healthcare companies is becoming attractive. Jonathan de Pass at BZW says the yields on Zeneca and Wellcome - 5.2 and 3.2 per cent - look pretty good and the shares could be worth buying.
