Enbridge is one of the biggest listings on the TSX by market cap. It is also the largest energy infrastructure company in North America. In the investing world, Enbridge is highly sought after because of its wide economic moat, impressive history of dividend growth, and high dividend yield. The stock currently offers a quarterly dividend of $0.738 per share, which represents an attractive 5.9% yield.
It is hard to match up with Enbridge’s size and dividend-growth history, but there are equities available for income investors that can match and exceed its dividend yield. Today, we are going to look at three stocks that can pay you more than Enbridge.
Alaris Royalty (TSX:AD) Alaris Royalty is a Calgary-based company that is engaged in investing in operating entities. Shares had climbed 10% in 2019 as of close on May 15. The stock was up 16.8% year over year.
The company released its first-quarter 2019 results on May 6. Revenue rose to $27.7 million, which represented a 16.9% year-over-year increase on a per-share basis. Normalized EBITDA climbed 23.6% to $0.68 per share. Alaris revenue and earnings were boosted by distributions from new investments and organic growth through its 2019 reset.
Alaris last declared an April dividend of $0.1375 per share. This is paid on a monthly basis and represents a tasty 8.7% yield. Alaris has marginally improved its cash position from the prior year, and its dividend looks safe as we look ahead to the final three quarters of the year. This is a worthy target for income investors.
TransAlta Renewables (TSX:RNW) TransAlta Renewables is a Calgary-based electric utility company that owns and operates energy generation and transmission facilities. Shares had climbed 31.9% in 2019 as of close on May 15. The stock was up 13.9% year over year.
