Dividend Champion Spotlight: National Fuel Gas Co.
There are many utility companies on the list of dividend champions. We have covered a handful so far, but today's dividend champion spotlight is somewhat unique. National Fuel Gas Co. (NFG) is known as a utility company, but its utility business is actually a minor EBITDA contributor, with upstream and midstream natural gas operations under its belt as well. Having raised its dividend for 48 consecutive years, we dive into this natural gas play, whose integrated structure offers an interesting combination of stability and upside.
National Fuel Gas Co. is an integrated natural gas company based in Williamsville, NY. The company deals in the exploration/production, storage/transport, and distribution of natural gas to more than 743,000 customers in New York and Pennsylvania. The... more

AT&T: Own It For The 6% Yield And For Much More
Source: NYTimes.com
AT&T (T) has been largely stuck in the mud since plans for the Time Warner takeover were announced in 2016. After peaking at about $39, AT&T made a trip all the way down to below $30 in late July. However, the declines endured following the merger appear to have created a substantial buying opportunity in AT&T. The stock is very cheap now, provides an extremely attractive 6% dividend, and the company appears set to grow revenues and EPS in future years. Additionally, AT&T shareholders are likely to benefit from the Time Warner acquisition over the long term, and rotation into more defensive dividend paying stocks could propel shares even higher going forward.
The Time Warner Deal is a Big Deal AT&T’s stock declined quite a bit... more

Pot Stocks For Dividend Growth Investors
If you follow the market at all, you’ve probably gotten wrapped up in the pot stocks craze lately. It’s hard to ignore trends like this when you see stocks essentially doubling their value in single trading sessions. Market caps in the marijuana space have grown to be larger than many of the S&P 500 names. Honestly, this trend seems crazy. We’re talking about companies trading for 100’s of times their sales…that’s right, sales, not even earnings (these companies aren’t known for their profitability quite yet). When I see fundamentals like that I quickly recognize a bubble. But then again, I also recognize the growth potential of the cannabis industry and I don’t like the idea of being left behind in these early stages. So, what’s... more

Toronto-Dominion Bank: TD's Dividend Is Powering Higher
When it comes to investing, patience can be a virtue. Sometimes you just need to sit tight.
Case in point: the Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD). When I profiled the company in April 2017, shares of the Canadian banking giant had plunged after scathing reports from consumer advocates. Investors stampeded for the exits, predicting the company would never recover from the PR disaster.
But I never gave up on TD, noting that – despite the dour investor sentiment and plunging share price – the business was still outrageously profitable.
“Before sending a sell order to your broker, we need to put the recent scandal in context.” I wrote. “We should downgrade the stock from an incredibly profitable cash cow to a slightly less profitable cash cow. Yes,... more

Attractive Monthly Pay BDC With 10.3% Yield
Co-produced with Philip Mause and Julian Lin of High Dividend Opportunities.
Horizon Technology Finance (HRZN) is a BDC which is similar to another BDC we have recently recommended: TriplePoint Venture Growth (TPVG). Both HRZN and TPVG invest primarily in companies in the venture growth stage.
HRZN traded recently at $11.60 and pays a monthly 10-cent dividend ($1.20 per annum) for an annual yield of 10.3%. With a solid portfolio primarily invested in senior secured loans, we view shares as being very attractively priced at current levels. HRZN is a smaller cap stock, often overlooked, and issues 1099 tax forms (no K1s).
The Business HRZN has a unique business model which sets it apart from some other players in the BDC industry. HRZN makes secured loans to venture and... more
