(New York)

US dividend stocks are in a curious, if tenuous, positon at the moment. They have done well recently, but rate rises seem poised to bring prices down. Overseas dividend stocks, however, are not in the same predicament, as the rate environment in many other parts of the world is more benign. Accordingly, here are six overseas dividend stocks to consider: Allianz (4.1%), Hang Lung Properties (5%), Heidelberg Cement (2.8%), Nestle (2.9%), Royal Dutch Shell (5.3%), and Sanofi (4.1%).

FINSUM: Not only are these stocks attractive because of the good yields and mild rate environment, but they mostly have very attractive P/E ratios as well.
