Portfolio of 27 Best High-Yielding Oil and Gas Pipeline Stocks

According to analysts, North America needs to invest $641 billion in energy infrastructure by 2035 to meet growing demand. 

That is expected to triple the annual investment rate, which should drive strong growth for pipeline stocks over the next few decades. 

While there should be many winners, in my opinion, the best five stocks to invest in the growth of pipeline infrastructure in North America are below. Meanwhile, if you are looking for a more updated article, check out this piece on the best 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.

The oil and gas pipeline stocks included in the portfolio computations are: BWP, BPL, ENB, EEP, ETE, ETP, EPD, GEL, HEP, MMP, NS, NSH, OKS, PAA, TCP and TLP. Others are ARCX, BKEP, CQP, ENBL, JPEP, KMI, PSXP, PAGP, SEP, TEP, TLLP, VLP and WES.

20 Highest Yielding Dividend Contenders In July 2017

20 High-Yield Stocks With Low Beta Ratios

The market’s had its ups and downs this year, but there is sure to be more volatility ahead of us in 2017. There is a lot of speculation over the health of the global economy. Will China keep falling behind growth expectations? Will the high market valuation cause a short-term sell off?

As long as the market has big questions with no concrete answers, there is sure to be more volatility ahead of us. When the global environment is uncertain, it is wise to reduce your market exposure by picking up some low beta stocks. Stocks with a low beta tend to see a lower magnitude of price changes compared to the broader market.

The secret sauce behind high performance is low volatility. Stock portfolios built with low beta stocks tend to outperform high-beta growth stocks. And you sleep at night without having to worry about big swings in the market.

It is foolish to assume that taking on more risk will produce higher returns. We all want the sure thing in business with no risk, but this is nearly impossible to find. But it possible to find low-beta stocks with steadily rising dividends or high dividends. I've done some research in order to find the best high-yield dividend stocks with low beta ratios.

These 20 stocks have high yields at low beta ratios...

15 Best Energy Dividend Growth Stocks With Yields Up To 8.65%

While it is easy to get caught up in dividend stocks with a high yield, investors tend to earn higher returns by investing in companies that pay a growing dividend. 

While several energy stocks have managed to grow their dividends in good times, only the best handful have succeeded in raising their payout throughout more than one energy cycle.

For sure engery dividend stocks are cyclic but some of them have strong assets and cash flows, generated by these assets.

Here are 15 dividend achievers that have delivered consistent dividend growth for more than a decade:

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...

3 Potential Dividend Champions With High Yields And 10 Additional To Consider

Today I've created a small list of stocks with high dividend yields (over five percent) that are close to become a Dividend Champion in the upcoming years. Those stocks have raised dividends over more than 25 years in a row.

Dividend Growth is King

When you read my blog for a longer time, you should know that dividend growth is the key of a successful dividend investing.

In a non-performing market, dividends contribute 100 percent to the total performance or they can reduce their losses.

In my view, dividends are good enough to generate a solid cash income when the market suffers.

Over the past five years, this strategy failed because of the high intention of the Federal Reserve to reduce the unemployment via money printing. As a result, stock markets more than doubled in the most countries of the world and equities got very expensive.

Dividend yields of the best dividend paying stocks declined also by a few percentage points and investors often don't get a compensation for inflation now.

What we need are higher yielding stocks, but those are also more risky and sometimes overloaded with debt.

I've attached a list of the highest yielding potential dividend Champions. Only 13 companies with a consecutive dividend growth history of 10 to 25 years have a current dividend yield above the 5 percent ratio.
