Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Tallgrass Energy (NYSE:TGE) currently boasts the biggest payout in this group at 8.9%. The pipeline company can easily support that big dividend since it generates very stable cash flow backed by long-term contracts, has a conservative payout ratio, and has a solid balance sheet. However, what makes Tallgrass Energy even more enticing is its growth prospects. The company currently has three large-scale oil infrastructure investments under development, which could fuel significant growth in the coming years. As such, investors are getting paid very well to wait for that upside to materialize.
