As of today, there are 949 companies with a yield of more than 5 percent but high yielding stocks often have a big yield because their dividend is not sustainable and the market expects a dividend cut in the near future. It is very hard to select between good and bad stocks. That's why I've tried to screen the market by interesting high yield stocks.
I also took the recommendations from brokerage firm into my considerations. However, here is a current overview of large capitalized stocks (more than $10 billion market capitalization) with a dividend yield of more than 5 percent, a price to earnings ratio (P/E ratio) lower than 10 as well as a buy or better recommendation by brokerage firms. The rating sheme is created by Finviz.com and has a points scale between one and five. The best stocks (strong buy) got the rating one and the stocks with a strong sell recommendation received five points. In total, 8 stocks fulfilled the mentioned criteria of which 3 have a dividend yield of more than 10 percent. One of them has a strong buy rating. Here are the results sorted by dividend yield:
