Top S&P 500 Stocks by Yield, Cash, and Debt

When reviewing all the stocks that make up the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, I was only able to come up with five stocks that yield s of 3% or more, a decent amount of cash, and total debt of $500 million or less.

Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), the payroll outsourcing company, yields 3%, has $1.62 billion in cash, with only $42.2 million in debt.

The automotive replacement parts company, Genuine Parts Co. (GPC), has a fairly high yield of 4.5%. The company has $363 million in cash and $500 million in debt.

People's United Financial Inc. (PBCT) is a commercial banking company, which pays a yield of 3.7%. The stock trades at about its book value 15.24, with $3.5 billion in cash amounting to $10 in cash per share. The company has $343 million in debt.

A very high yield of 5.1% can be found with Microchip Technology Inc. (MCHP), a semiconductor products company. In additon, Micron has $1.36 billion in cash or $7.43 in cash per share, with only $337 million in debt.
