Dividends are one of the best benefits to being a shareholder, but finding a great dividend stock is no easy task. Does Air Products and Chemicals (APD) have what it takes?
APD's shares jump after exiting the Louisiana Clean Energy Complex and certain other projects, boosting investor confidence in its portfolio strategy and growth focus.
Since February, Air Products and Chemicals has trounced the S&P 500 index. The company's decision to not proceed with the Louisiana Clean Energy Project and the finalized agreement with Yara for renewable ammonia bode well for the future. APD's adjusted net debt-to-EBITDA ratio remained unchanged at 2.2x in Q2 2026.
