3 Top Energy Stocks Paying Mad Dividends


green power renewable energy

If you like dividends, energy stocks are great plays to consider. The vast majority of them pay dividends, and the payouts have the potential to rise. Currently, we’re in a very bullish period for oil and gas prices. The world is recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and oil prices are soaring. That means there is serious potential for dividend increases from the world’s biggest energy companies. In this article, I will explore three top energy stocks that pay mad dividends and also hold the potential for dividend growth.

Pembina Pipeline

Pembina Pipeline (TSX:PPL)(PBA) is a Canadian pipeline company that yields a whopping 6%. If you invest $100,000 in this stock you get $6,000 per year back in dividends–assuming no cuts or hikes.

That’s not to say there won’t be any cuts or hikes, however. Because the truth is, hikes are looking likely. After years in the doldrums, the tar sands are back to pumping out record profits. PPL, as a pipeline company, helps these companies transport their oil and gas.

In its most recent quarter, PPL delivered:

$1.9 billion in revenue, up from $1.2 billion.$254 million in earnings, down from $289 million.$584 million in cash from operations, down from $642 million.

As you can see, profit and cash flow metrics declined very slightly, but revenue grew. So as long as PPL can keep its costs under control, it has the potential to grow profits going forward.

Enbridge

Enbridge (TSX:ENB)(NYSE:ENB) is another pipeline stock like PPL. This one yields a truly stunning 6.3%. Like PPL, Enbridge benefits from therising demand for oil and gas. It doesn’t directly take a cut of oil and gas sales, but there is more demand for its services when there is more demand for oil. On top of that, ENB has a bunch of infrastructure projects in the works that can increase its transportation capacity. From the Line Three expansion to the Line Five tunnel, it has a lot of new projects that can boost revenue. And unlike Keystone XL, none of these projects is at serious risk of being cancelled. So Enbridge is a dependable energy stock with a great deal of potential.

TransAlta Renewables

TransAlta Renewables (TSX:RNW) is a Canadian energy/utility stock that yields approximately 5%. While that’s not as high as PPL or ENB, RNW has one thing going for it that those stocks don’t: a focus on renewables.

The oil and gas industry is currently under a massive amount of pressure due to its high carbon footprint. Countries are always taking measures to lower emissions, which can hit demand for traditional energy sources like oil and gas.

Not so for renewable energy.

Amid an era of increasing climate change regulations, solar, wind, and hydro are safe places to be. And that’s exactly how RNW generates its power. So, this energy play faces much less regulatory risk than its peers.

Dividend stocks are one of the smartest ways to create wealth in the long term. By investing in dividend-paying stocks, one can generate returns in two ways: dividends and capital appreciation.

Further, the reinvestment of dividends allows investors to accumulate more shares and create wealth in the long term.  With this background, let’s zoom in on three high-yield Canadian stocks that can help you get rich over time.  Enbridge  Enbridge (TSX:ENB) is a must-have dividend stock, and there are solid reasons behind that.

How much dividend income can you earn?

Image
Passive income. It’s one of the most common financial goals for Canadian investors. Everybody likes making money on a stock trade, but what could be better than a stock that pays you income year in and year out? Such are the kinds of stocks that Warren Buffett and other long-term investors made their fortunes on. This raises a question: Is it possible to make a truly substantial amount of money – let’s say $1,000 per month – with just dividend stocks? Such a thing would be very helpful if it could be done. Consider that, $1,000 per month is more than what the average Canadian gets from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). If you take the average CPP payment ($811) and add $1,000 per month in dividend income to it, you get to a sum of money that could potentially pay all of your bills. In this article, I will explore the topic of making money with dividend stocks. I will show how much money you’d need to invest to get $1,000 a month in dividend income. I will reveal a stock that...
