Best Dividend Stocks To Invest In Right Now


The Dow Jones today gained over 100 points in pre-market hours after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced the result of financial liquidity tests. The tests, performed on the nation’s largest financial institutions, are designed to provide feedback on the dividend and stock buyback plans proposed by firms like JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C).

The only capital plan rejected by the U.S. central bank was proposed by the U.S. unit of Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB).

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    When ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) acquired its master limited partnership last year, the company thought the deal would give it enough fuel to grow its dividend 21% in 2017 and at a 9% to 11% annual pace through 2021. At the time, the two pipeline companies had between $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion of growth projects under development, which ONEOK thought would provide it with enough fuel to achieve that aim. Fast-forward not more than a year later, and the company has now secured more than $6 billion of expansions, which should give it the fuel to grow its earnings at an accelerated clip in the coming years, making it an excellent stock for those seeking both growth and income.

    The volatile price of natural gas over the past year has weighed some on this top energy stock. ONEOK Inc. (NYSE: OKE) primarily engages in natural gas transportation, storage and natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) gathering, processing and fractionation in the Bakken, Mid-Continent and Permian. The company recently closed the roll-up of its underlying master limited partnership, ONEOK Partners.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    At first glance, pipeline giant ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) appears to offer income-seeking investors a superior opportunity when compared to fellow pipeline giant Williams Companies (NYSE:WMB). Not only does ONEOK have a higher yield — 4.9% versus 4.5% for Williams — but it expects to increase its payout at a 9% to 11% annual pace through 2021 while Williams’ current forecast is that it will boost its dividend 10% to 15% in 2019. However, when we drill down a bit deeper, we find one metric that puts Williams Companies’ dividend ahead of ONEOK’s for investors seeking a lower-risk payout.
