A Compilation Of High-Yield MLP Oil And Gas Pipeline Stocks

Oil & gas pipeline operators transport fuel through pipelines, often over great distances.

Most of these companies are structured as Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), which helps limit costs by passing tax obligations along to shareholders.

Since MLPs are required to distribute the vast majority of their earnings to shareholders, these stocks usually offer very high dividend yields.

Master Limited Partnerships have the same liquid trading characteristics as common stock, yet they are very different from common stocks. The most obvious difference is that MLP's are 'pass through' investment vehicles--they pass through the income to you the investor. 

The Partnership pays no taxes at the company level--instead passing the income to you (and of course you likely pay taxes on the income). Thus one level of taxation is removed allowing the investor to receive a larger distribution. 

Today I like to show you some of the highest yielding oil and gas pipeline stocks on the market. Pipelines generate stable revenues while having a clear benefit compared to railroad and transportation stocks in terms of CO2 emissions.

Here is a table of 15 high-yield oil and gas pipeline partnerships...

24 of the dividend growth stocks from last week have a current buy or better rating and 10 are valuated with a P/E below 15.

Basic Material Dividend Stocks With Highest YTD Performance And Which Are Still Cheap

Basic material dividend stocks with highest performance year-to-date originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The basic material stock category were the real losing sector this year. Stocks from the sector are down 2.6 percent this year while the best performing sector, healthcare stocks, gained 24.3 percent.

But not all basic materials are loser. There are stocks that doubled its price since the beginning of this year. Others are up 50 percent. Below, you can find a small list of the 20 top basic material stocks. I excluded all companies with a market capitalization below USD 300 million and those without a dividend.

The 20 top dividend paying results gained from 44.58 percent to 65.14 percent. Three of the results have a market cap below a billion and additional seven are valuated between one or two billion. Small and mid-cap stocks are the main performance driver of the sector. Despite the strong stock price hikes, fourteen companies still have a buy or better rating.

34 Stocks Increased Dividends Recently | 10 High-Yields

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. For all dividend seekers out there: I am publishing each week a list of stocks and funds that have raised their dividend payments within the recent week.

Dividend growth is a very important item when you are active in the field of dividend investing. Growth creates wealth and nothing else. All you need is time and patience.

This week, 34 stocks increased their dividend payments of which 10 are High-Yields and 19 are currently recommended to buy. The average dividend growth amounts to 25.29 percent.

Popular stocks from the list are the railroad company CSX or the pipeline operator Kinder Morgan. A stock that I personally love is the Dividend King Procter & Gamble who hiked its dividends by 7 percent. The results are very mixed but oil and gas pipeline companies still dominating the screen.

17 High-Yield Oil And Gas Pipeline Stocks

Oil & gas pipeline operators with highest dividend yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Stocks from the basic material sector could complement your portfolio and hedge it against strong commodity price increases. One industry from the basic material sector with the highest yielding stocks is the oil and gas pipeline industry.

39 companies are linked to the industry of which 37 pay dividends. Combined they have a total market capitalization of USD 800 billion. Nearly 60 percent of the industry players have a yield over 5 percent and some have a really great dividend history. Thanks to the share gas boom it’s now possible that more pipeline infrastructure is needed. The average industry yield amounts to 4.72% and the P/E ratio is 33.40.

You should have seen some interesting pipeline companies on my blog in the past. Normally I am no fan of real estate companies because of the huge amounts of money they need for growing. But pipeline operators look different. They pay huge dividends and have the ability to grow dividends year over year. Their business model works but I don’t know how long. Pipeline operators are better than real estate stocks but it could be possible that the time brings some changes, especially when the energy demand and supply is changing.

Oil and gas pipeline stocks are real asset companies and they have a huge leverage on their balance sheet. The average industry long-term debt to equity ratio is over 123 percent but as long as revenue and cash flow streams are stable, this figure is still healthy.

Linked is a list of all higher capitalized oil and gas pipeline operators (over USD 2 billion market cap) with a yield over 5 percent. Seventeen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which eight have a current buy or better recommendation.

Best Yielding Dividend Challengers | 30 High-Yield Dividend Growth Stocks

Dividend Challengers with the highest dividend yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Dividend Challengers are the third class of the best dividend growth stocks. They raised cash distributions to shareholders in form of dividends over a period between 5 and 10 years without a break.

Exactly 175 stocks raised dividends over this period. Today, I like to present the best yielding Challengers. The list below shows all High-Yield stocks. In total, there are 30 companies with a yield of more than 5 percent and nearly half of the results are recommended to buy.

Some Challengers have the potential to grow dividends to real Champions but most of them will fail over the next five or ten years. I personally would not use the dividend growth criteria as a big requirement. The biggest capital gains will be made with good growth picks. The payments will come from alone in the end.

32 Stocks Raised Dividends Last Week | Oil & Gas Companies Are Big Players

I love dividends and dividend growth stocks because they are one of my major wealth driver. That’s the main reason why I make a regular screen of the latest stocks with dividend growth on my blog “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. 

I believe that companies with rising dividends should have a well running business and could have a better performance in the long-run. Below is a current list of companies that have announced a dividend hike within the recent week. In total, 32 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 18 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 25.33 percent.

Below the top dividend growth stocks are eight with a high yield. 16 companies are currently recommended to buy or even have a strong buy rating. 

If I scroll through the list, I find many oil and gas companies as well as financial stocks. Banks pay more dividends in order to establish pre-financial crises level. Well, that’s still far away. 

Oil & Gas pipeline operators raised dividends very continuously in the past. They benefit from the fact that America experiences a new oil rush with shale gas and shale oil. The new energy sources must be transported with an infrastructure that does not exist for the time being. 

It could be more interesting to look at railroad stocks. I try to make a screen in the near future. What are your thoughts about the lastest dividend growth stocks? Do you own some of them? Would you buy one of them? Please let me know and leave a comment in the box below!
