10 Low PEG Ratio Dividend Stocks

Published on May 18th, 2026 by Bob Ciura

Investing has traditionally been broadly categorized into “growth”, and “value” styles.

Value investors look for stocks trading for less than they are worth.
Growth investors look for fast-growing stocks that will be worth more in the future.

Both value and growth are important. Valuation matters. And so does future growth potential. The synthesis of growth investing and value investing is GARP investing.

GARP stands for “Growth At A Reasonable Price”.

It aims to buy fast growing companies trading at reasonable prices. The key metric for GARP investors is the PEG ratio.

The PEG ratio takes the P/E ratio and divides it by the expected annualized growth rate x 100.

Example: A stock growing at 10% annually with a P/E ratio of 20 would have a PEG ratio of 2.0.

GARP investors ideally want securities trading for PEG ratios of 1.0 or less. These are rare, especially in today’s high P/E ratio market.

That’s because stocks with strong growth prospects tend to not have low P/E ratios. If expected growth is strong, sentiment is usually not negative.

What the PEG ratio does not take into account is dividends. Dividends matter to investing – and especially to dividend growth investors.

Blue-chip stocks are well-established, financially strong, and consistently profitable companies.

This research report has the following resources to help you invest in blue chip stocks:

We look for high quality fast-growing dividend stocks trading at or below fair value to buy and hold for the long run.

This lines up well with the PEG ratio, especially compared to the broader market.

This article will list the 10 lowest PEG ratio stocks in the S&P 500, that we cover in the Sure Analysis Research Database.

They are ranked in order of PEG ratio, from lowest to highest.

Low PEG Ratio Stock #10: Nucor Corporation (NUE)

Nucor is the largest publicly traded U.S.-based steel corporation. The company operates approximately 25 scrap-based steel production mills and is one of North America’s largest recyclers.

On January 26, 2026, Nucor Corporation reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results. The quarter showed mixed performance, with consolidated net earnings of $378 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, and adjusted net earnings of $400 million, or $1.73 per diluted share.

Impairment charges tied to closures or repurposing in the steel products segment weighed on reported results and adjusted EPS fell short of the $1.86 analyst consensus, despite an 8.6 percent year-over-year increase in revenue to $7.69 billion.

Profitability also softened relative to Q3 2025, when net earnings were $607 million or $2.63 per diluted share, signaling some earnings pressure even as end markets remained constructive.

Nucor continued to prioritize shareholder returns, distributing approximately $1.2 billion to stockholders in 2025 through share repurchases and dividends, repurchasing about 5.4 million shares at an average price of $128.66.

The company also declared a cash dividend of $0.56 per share alongside a new $4 billion share repurchase authorization and extended its 53-year streak of base dividend increases and 211 consecutive quarterly dividends.

Low PEG Ratio Stock #9: Broadcom Technology (AVGO)

Broadcom designs, develops, and sells semiconductors under the following business units: Wired infrastructure, wireless communication, enterprise storage and industrial.

Its offerings include data center chips, factory automation, energy systems and power generation, broadband access, and home connectivity.

Broadcom is a fabless semiconductor company, which means that the products it designs are manufactured by other companies/foundries.

When Broadcom reported its first quarter earnings results, the company showcased revenue of $19.3 billion, whichrepresented an increase of 29% compared to the prior year’s quarter.

The strong revenue growth performance was driven by AI data center investments by many of Broadcom’s customers. The company beat estimates by $170 million, as analysts were expecting a slightly smaller revenue increase for the quarter.

Broadcom reported earnings-per-share of $2.05 for the fiscal first quarter, which was ahead of the analyst consensus estimate.

The company expects that revenues will come in at around $22.0 billion during the current quarter, which would represent a nice revenue increase on a year-over-year basis and on a sequential basis.

Broadcom is forecasted to see its earnings-per-share grow at a strong pace of more than 60% this year..

The company has beaten the analysts’ estimates in 25 of the last 26 quarters. Thanks to a milder-than-expected effect of tariffs on results, management raised its already positive guidance for 2026.

It raised its guidance for adjusted earnings-per-share from $11.00-$13.00 to $11.50-$13.50.
