2 Top TSX Dividend Shares to Own in 2020



Income investors and those seeking to generate attractive total returns in their TFSA and RRSP portfolios are searching for top dividend stocks to buy for 2022. The overall TSX Index looks overbought right now, but there are still stocks that appear undervalued as we head into the new year.

Suncor

Suncor (TSX:SU)(NYSE:SU) trades near $32 per share at the time of writing. That’s up more than 100% from the 2020 lows but Suncor stock has a long way to go before it returns to its pre-pandemic price around $44 per share. The slow recovery compared to some of its peers who have regained their pandemic losses might be attributed to investor anger that Suncor slashed its dividend in 2020 when the other major producers held their payouts steady.

Suncor also waited until it released the Q3 2021 results to bump up the dividend again. The board announced a 100% increase to the payout, bringing the dividend back to the 2019 levels. This still trails other large producers who raised distributions in 2021 and have bumped up payouts again for 2022, but investors could see Suncor make up the gap next year.

Management decided to use the cash windfall in 2021 to reduce debt and buy back shares at fire sale levels. These moves will benefit investors in the long run. Suncor’s production operations are expected to increase output in 2022 while the capital expenditures will be lower than previously announced. With WTI oil at US$75 per barrel and fuel demand expected to continue to recover in the next 12 months, Suncor is poised to generate significant profits.

The stock looks cheap today and offers investors a solid 5.3% dividend yield.

Enbridge

Enbridge (TSX:ENB)(NYSE:ENB) recently raised its dividend for the 27th straight year. The 3% increase is the same as for 2021 and while these payout hikes are below Enbridge’s long-term dividend-growth rate, they still indicate the company has the ability to generate solid gains in distributable cash flow during challenging times.

Looking ahead, the next few years should be positive for Enbridge investors. The rebound in fuel demand in Canada, the United States, and across the globe will drive up demand for Enbridge’s pipeline and oil export services. The company moves 25% of the oil produced in the U.S. and Canada and 20% of the natural gas used in the United States.

Enbridge is large enough to make strategic acquisitions to drive revenue and profit growth. The company is also ramping up investment in its renewable energy and natural gas businesses.

The stock appears oversold at the current price near $49 per share. Investors who buy now can pick up a 7% dividend yield and simply sit back and collect the generous payouts.

The bottom line on top dividend stocks to buy now

Suncor and Enbridge pay attractive dividends that offer above-average yields. The companies are industry leaders, and the stocks look cheap in an otherwise expensive market. If you have some cash to put to work these stocks should deliver solid total returns for TFSA and RRSP investors in 2022.

Get Rich With These High-Yield Canadian Dividend Stocks

Image
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. As top dividend-paying companies generally have well-established businesses and a growing earnings base, they generate steady capital gains in the long term. 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.

In addition, Enbridge has interests in renewable energy faci...

How much dividend income can you earn?

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...
