Dividend stocks are an incredibly popular option among investors, especially those looking for a steady income or to reinvest dividends to enable the power of compounding. Generally, these dividend stocks are more stable businesses, financially mature, and are often fairly valued.

However, if you can find some that are trading on the cheap and receive not only a dividend but a potentially increasing share price, it’s a double benefit! Here are two such stocks, trading on the cheap and offering a dividend.

Unless you spend a lot of time researching the basic materials sector, Albemarle (NYSE: ALB) is likely a company you haven’t heard of. Albemarle is one of the world’s largest lithium producers and operates lithium refining plants in the U.S., Chile, and China. Lithium demand is mostly driven by batteries, where lithium is used as the energy storage material, and electric vehicles are a primary source of demand.

The great long-term news is that the future of the global automotive industry is almost certainly electric vehicles, which should drive lithium demand for decades. Not only does Albemarle have top-tier lithium assets, they are among the lowest-cost sources of lithium production on the planet. Further, Albemarle also owns resources in the U.S. and Argentina that are still in the early development phase, enabling a long-term boost for its lithium production volumes in the coming decades.

One of the reasons Albemarle is trading at a discount right now is because CATL’s lithium mine was temporarily shut down due to expired permits, a development that was expected to last six to 12 months. Instead the shutdown of only one month means the lithium market will likely remain oversupplied in 2025, leaving lithium prices lower.

While Albemarle’s roughly 2% dividend yield won’t jump off the page, its discount does. Morningstar rates the company’s fair value at $200, meaning it’s trading at a roughly 58% discount to fair value. It could be a fantastic opportunity to scoop up what should be a long-term lithium winner while it’s on the cheap.

Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) is the largest provider of alcoholic beverages in the U.S. across beer, wine, and spirits categories, generating more than 80% of its revenue from Mexican beer imports such as Modelo and Corona. The beverage company also owns a 26% stake in Canopy Growth, which is a medicinal and recreational cannabis producer.
