NEWELL BRANDS
An American marketer of consumer and commercial products worldwide, Newell encompasses what Johnson described as a host of well-recognized, unsexy brands including Rubbermaid food storage, Yankee Candle, Sharpie, Waterman, and dozens of others.
“The stock has a handsome forward dividend yield of 4.88 percent,” Johnson said. “Activist investor Carl Icahn recently increased his holdings in NWL, so expect the company to make changes to improve performance.”
