The closest alternative to LOW in our universe is HD — nearly identical yield (2.93% vs 2.69% for LOW) and a 7.0/10 safety score compared to LOW's 7.1/10. Across all 3 peers, yields range from 2.93% to 4.37% and safety scores range from 5.6 to 7.8/10.
Switching from LOW to a peer is not always straightforward — a higher yield peer often carries a lower safety score, and vice versa. Tax treatment can diverge too: check whether LOW dividends are qualified before assuming a peer's headline yield is comparable after tax. The table below ranks each alternative by how closely it matches LOW on both dimensions simultaneously, so you can see the full yield-vs-safety tradeoff at a glance.
