7 Mid-Cap Stocks That Can be the Perfect Fit at Any Time - 2 of 7

#2 - Manpower Group (NYSE:MAN)

Trends in the labor market tend to be a leading economic indicator. Strong job growth typically signals a strong economy. And when the economy weakens, the job market tends to get tighter. However, Manpower Group (NYSE:MAN) is a company that will do well in any economy. That’s because there will always be a demand for finding qualified workers of the type that Manpower provides.

Many analysts see Manpower as being undervalued. The company has a forward P/E ratio of approximately 7.95. And although the company’s revenue is projected to grow at a low single-digit rate over the next five years, the company is projected to show double-digit growth in earnings over the same timeframe.

And of the companies on this list, Manpower has one of the more compelling dividend stories. The company has increased its dividend in each of the last 13 years and sports a dividend yield of over 3.47%.
