Bob Dylan’s lyrics that “the times, they’re a-changin” have never been truer. Artificial intelligence (AI) is disrupting businesses. The world geopolitical system is in great turmoil. People are aging in many countries, including the US
How can income investors properly position their portfolios in this time of great change? Here are three monster dividend stocks to hold for the next 10 years.
Will AI create the world’s first trillionaire? Our team recently released a report on one little-known company, called “Indispensable Monopoly” that provides essential technology needed by both Nvidia and Intel. Continue »
Amid the great changes, at least one thing will remain constant: The world will need energy. And it is increasingly clear that natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) will remain important components in meeting those energy needs. That’s good news Company Enterprise Products Partners LP (NYSE: EPD).
This limited partnership (LP) is one of my favorite pipeline stocks. Enterprise Products Partners operates more than 50,000 miles of pipelines throughout the U.S. It also owns other midstream energy assets, including 45 natural gas processing trains and more than 300 million barrels of liquids storage facilities. About 55% of Enterprise’s operating income comes from its NGL business, and 16% comes from its natural gas operations.

Income investors want stability. Enterprise Products Partners delivers. The company has been generating reliable cash flow, even during turbulent times such as the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 and the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 to 2022.
The corporate forward distribution yield currently stands at around 6%. LP has increased its distribution for 27 years in a row. I think it’s in excellent shape to keep that streak going for the next decade.
The sad truth about the aging population is that the demand for health care is increasing. As people get older, they are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer and other serious diseases. Their immune systems are weakened, so vaccinations are very important. Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is one of the top pharmaceutical companies ready to face these challenges.
Pfizer markets 13 blockbuster drugs. Seven of them generated sales of two billion dollars last year. The company’s pipeline includes 102 candidates in clinical trials, with 32 in late-stage clinical studies and two awaiting regulatory approval.
Yes, Pfizer is facing some headwinds. Many of its best-selling products will lose patent exclusivity in the next few years. The good news, however, is that the company expects that its new drugs already on the market will largely offset the expected revenue decline.
Currently, Pfizer offers the most attractive dividend among large healthcare stocks. paid a dividend of 6.4 %. Pfizer’s ability to generate strong free cash flow makes this juicy profit relatively safe.
Will freight and package delivery remain important in the next 10 years? Yes they will. Can AI make it easier for new companies to enter these markets? Probably not. The cost of building a transport network is very high. This means that United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) it should be able to count on a stable business for the foreseeable future.
UPS delivers approximately 20.8 million packages and documents every day. It operates in more than 200 countries and regions. The company has 295 jets and a fleet of about 125,000 cars, vans, tractors and even motorcycles.
Admittedly, UPS is in a period of transition. The package delivery giant is reducing shipments from its top customers, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN)and is dramatically restructuring its network in line with this move. However, UPS expects to emerge with higher profit margins and a nimbler structure. And executives hope to transform a large part of Amazon’s business by focusing on high-growth opportunities, including health care applications.
UPS’s dividend yield of 6.7% should be attractive to income investors. Improving the company’s free cash flow should also enable it to continue paying dividends at least at current levels.
