With markets still struggling with trade war tensions, you may want to seriously consider dividend stocks. After all, they’re paid out by some of the healthiest stocks on the market, and can help keep your portfolio protected in times of absolute chaos.
Here are just a few to consider.
Enbridge (SYM: ENB)
With a yield of 5.92%, Enbridge (ENB) holds the second-longest natural gas pipeline in the U.S., North America’s longest crude oil pipeline, and a high-growth, renewable power generation business.
Helping, analysts at Citi just initiated a buy rating on the ENB stock, which believes the company is well-positioned to benefit from global energy demands. In addition, as noted by Investing.com, “The firm’s analysts emphasized that Enbridge has consistently exceeded global energy demand growth by 400 basis points, a trend they anticipate will persist.”
Kinder Morgan (SYM: KMI)
With a yield of 4.22%, Kinder Morgan is also an attractive opportunity.
For one, Kinder Morgan is the biggest natural gas pipeline operator with a 40% market share. Two, KMI could be a strong beneficiary of the artificial intelligence data center energy boom.
Plus, Barclays just upgraded KMI to an overweight rating on natural gas tailwinds.
“We view KMI as poised to benefit from a constructive fundamental outlook for natural gas, with critical infrastructure assets largely backed by take-or-pay/fee-based contracts across multiple commodity value chains and regions,” Barclays said, as also quoted by Investing.com.
Verizon (SYM: VZ)
With a yield of 6.13%, Verizon is another hot opportunity to consider buying.
For one, it’s oversold but attempting to pivot higher from support. Two, Verizon was just named a “top pick” by analysts at Evercore ISI with a $48 price target. The firm says the stock has outperformed the market meaningfully this year. It’s also optimistic about Verizon’s broadband strategy across fiber and fixed wireless.
While these dividend-paying giants offer a level of stability in today’s turbulent market, there’s also a different kind of opportunity catching the attention of savvy investors — one tied to innovation, disruption, and rapid growth.
