American Eagle Last but not least, we have American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO), which has the highest dividend yield of the group of 5.4% at current prices. Apparel companies have endured a challenging couple of years, with "the death of retail" narrative, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current inflationary environment all combining to throw some serious wrenches into their plans. But this gauntlet of challenges has created the opportunity to buy some of the cheapest stocks in the market, trading at rock-bottom price-to-earnings multiples and sporting high dividend yields.
