Buy low and sell high is the adage that investors should apply to these three TSX stocks trading at basement prices!

| More on:

When stocks sell off in a market correction, investors should take a closer look. Although the Canadian stock market, using iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index ETF as a proxy, has bounced back some (about 3.7%) in the past five trading days, the market is still close to 12% lower versus three months ago. Therefore, investors can still discover good stocks to buy.

Here are a few dividend-paying sell-off stocks that could help set you up for life! While the average long-term market return rate is 10% at best, these stocks have the potential to appreciate more than 40% over the next 12 months. Keep in mind though that having an investment horizon of three to five years will increase your chance of booking sizeable gains.

The company is focused on owning and operating high-quality businesses that provide essential products and services. However, it is very active in the investing front and buys and sells businesses. So, its earnings are lumpy from quarter to quarter. Overall, it aims for a long-term rate of return of 15-20% on its investments.

Consequently, buying this sell-off stock now could potentially lead to more massive capital gains over the next three to five years. According to Yahoo Finance, the general consensus across eight analysts suggests the stock could more than double investors’ money over the next 12 months!

Grab a big dividend from Aecon stock and wait for price gains

Brookfield Business doesn’t pay much of a yield compared to Aecon (TSX:ARE). Understandably, some investors prefer to enjoy juicy income while waiting for price appreciation. Right now, the high-yield stock provides tremendous value.

The construction company is a cyclical business with cyclical earnings. The TSX stock has sold off markedly by about 43% from its 52-week high. The general consensus across 13 analysts implies 12-month upside potential of close to 48% to $18.60. Meanwhile, it pays a juicy yield of almost 5.9% for the wait.

The company has a decent dividend track record. It has maintained or increased its dividend every year since 2007. Additionally, it has retained earnings accumulated through economic cycles to protect its dividend.

Tricon Residential stock is a bargain

Investors should not ignore Tricon Residential (TSX:TCN)(NYSE:TCN) stock after a sell-off. The undervalued stock is about 36% below its 52-week high.
