This article is part of our monthly series where we highlight five large-cap, relatively safe, dividend-paying companies offering significant discounts to their historical norms. We go over our filtering process to select just five conservative DGI stocks from more than 7,500 companies that are traded on U.S. exchanges, including OTC networks. In addition to the primary list that yields slightly over 4%, we present two other groups of five DGI stocks each, from moderate to high yields of up to 9%.

For my Top 5 ideas list, I focus on Buffett-style "fat pitch" blue-chip bargains: Wonderful companies at wonderful prices, based on fundamentals, not technicals or short-term sentiment. A disciplined, fundamentals-driven approach uses historical fair value multiples and consensus analyst data. My Top 5 Buy List for June - AES, ARE, AMZN, NVDA, and O - offers a 49% historical discount and over 100% return potential if they revert to fair value.

AES offers a compelling value opportunity with a nearly 7% dividend yield that's well-covered by long-term contracted cash flows and a strong growth backlog. The company's fundamentals are robust, featuring steady renewable project progress, new PPAs with major tech firms, and cost-saving initiatives. AES trades at a deeply discounted forward PE of 4.7, far below its historical average, suggesting significant upside potential if valuation normalizes.

AES remains a strong buy despite recent underperformance, with a robust 11.7 GW project pipeline and long-term contracted revenues ensuring growth through 2027. The company's debt appears high, but 20% is tied to projects under construction; most debt is non-recourse, limiting risk, and management has refinanced 2025 maturities. Shares trade at a deep discount, with 2025 P/E below 5 and potential for the stock to double to $24 by 2027 as EBITDA rises and debt falls.
