The end of the U.S. election season is beginning to bring clarity to the U.S. and global economic outlook for the next year. I discuss seven major trends that should drive much of the high-yield market narrative in the coming year. I share my two favorite 7%-yielding blue-chip dividend growth stocks in light of these trends.
The Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) and the Alerian Energy Infrastructure ETF (ENFR) have each increased distributions for the fourth quarter. On Tuesday, AMLP and ENFR declared fourth-quarter 2024 distributions of $0.95 and $0.34603, respectively.
The Trump Administration's pro-oil policies and potential regulatory rollbacks are expected to boost the pipeline industry and benefit AMLP's midstream operations. Alerian MLP ETF offers substantial dividends and capital appreciation, outperforming risk-free investments like CDs, making it an attractive option for income-focused investors. Despite recent declines, AMLP remains a strong long-term investment due to its stable revenue from fee-based contracts and unique infrastructure.
The market has been soaring lately due to Fed rate cuts, lowered recession fears, and a Republican sweep of the November elections. However, there are still some very compelling high-yield opportunities available. We discuss two 10-12% yields that are growing their payouts, have strong balance sheets, and defensive business models that the market seems to have overlooked.
While getting to retirement age can be a blessing and a curse, the reality of counting on the U.S.
Several midstream names have announced increases to third-quarter distributions as earnings are underway. Midstream companies are in the early stages of reporting earnings.
Midstream energy companies have rebounded, offering elevated income and total returns, with AMLP ETF yielding 7.7% and simplifying tax reporting by handling K-1 forms. Completion of major infrastructure projects and reduced capital spending have boosted free cash flow, reduced debt, and improved shareholder returns in the midstream sector. Long-term demand for natural gas and oil, driven by factors like the AI revolution and rising electricity consumption, supports future growth in midstream assets.
In the rapidly expanding ETF community, it can be hard to stand out. So it is with pride and gratitude that TMX VettaFi shares that it received three ETF Express awards last week.
Big dividend infrastructure stocks have surged recently. We discuss the two major catalysts for this surge. We also share several opportunities that remain very attractive in the space.
High-yield dividend growth stocks can make for exceptional passive income machines and wealth-compounding instruments. However, exceptionally high yields demand extra caution from investors. We discuss two 11%+ yields that, we think, are worth buying and one that we rate as a sell.
MLPs and C-Corps operating in the midstream segment can provide differing exposures to the space. Midstream companies are either structured as MLPs or C-Corps.
Another day, another sign the economy is heading straight for that “no-landing” scenario I've been talking about for weeks now
