These are three of my highest conviction dividend stock investments.
Brookfield has plenty of power to continue growing.
Brookfield Renewable expects to grow its earnings by more than 10% per year through 2031. Enbridge anticipates growing its cash flow per share by around 5% annually after this year.
Chevron, Williams, and Brookfield Renewable are all reliable long-term energy plays.
Brookfield Renewable FFO rose 19% year-over-year to $375 million, with per-unit FFO growth over the same time period at 15%. The merger of BEP and BEPC is under review to boost liquidity and index eligibility, with an update expected later this year. Rising inflation should provide a boost to BEP's earnings, as 70% of its revenues are indexed to inflation, but investors might demand a higher yield for holding its securities.
Brookfield Renewable provides broad exposure to green energy and offers a large and growing dividend. NextEra Energy's solar and wind business is among the largest in the world.
Look for names that tend to trade independently of the overall market, and don't be afraid to achieve some income growth.
Just because a dividend stock has suffered a significant stumble doesn't mean the setback is permanent. It doesn't even mean its dividend is in jeopardy.
Investment firm Brookfield and The Nuclear Company said on Monday they will form a joint venture to develop nuclear projects using U.S. company Westinghouse's reactor technology, as demand for low-carbon power rises globally.
The war with Iran could accelerate the shift toward alternative energy.
Brookfield Renewable is growing briskly.
The world is focused on oil, but don't forget about the ongoing shift toward cleaner alternatives.
