Dividends are one of the best benefits to being a shareholder, but finding a great dividend stock is no easy task. Does Avient (AVNT) have what it takes?

Investors with an interest in Chemical - Diversified stocks have likely encountered both Avient (AVNT) and Air Liquide (AIQUY). But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now?

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

Avient Corporation has struggled with long-term returns, but recent five-year performance shows improved CAGR and total returns. Revenue per share has remained mostly flat over the past decade, with only modest growth and significant pandemic-related volatility. Management highlights ongoing uncertainties, particularly regarding trade policy, which may continue to impact near-term performance.

I analyze Barron's top 100 sustainable companies, focusing on dividend payers and using the dogcatcher yield-based strategy to identify value opportunities. Seven out of 83 dividend-paying sustainable stocks currently meet the ideal of annual dividends from a $1K investment exceeding their share price, signaling potential buys. Analyst targets project 20.21% to 45.71% net gains for the top ten ESG dividend stocks by August 2026, with average risk below the market.

Avient's more stable performance and undemanding valuation make shares appealing, despite lackluster operating momentum and recent underperformance versus the broader market. The company maintains guidance and offers a 3.3% dividend yield, with leverage ratios improving and a reasonable 12x adjusted earnings multiple. Minimal direct tariff impact and local sourcing provide comfort in a choppy macro environment, while investors are paid to wait via dividends and earnings yield.
