If you're searching for safer stocks, consider reliable dividend payers such as PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP), Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD), and Black Hills Corporation (NYSE: BKH). PepsiCo is a major player in the consumer staples sector, especially in salty snacks and drinks. In 2024, PepsiCo saw a 2% increase in organic revenue and a 9% rise in adjusted earnings.
Enterprise Products (EPD) shared its earnings report 30 days ago. What can we expect for the stock moving forward?
Enterprise Products Partners (EPD 1.80%) is currently priced well below $100 per share, making it accessible for even small investors to join this midstream master limited partnership (MLP). One of the main reasons to invest is the attractive 6.3% distribution yield, which is significantly higher than the S&P 500 index's modest 1.2% yield.
President Trump's focus on fossil fuels has caught the attention of investors in oil stocks again. On his first day of his second term, he announced a national energy emergency, halted federal funding for clean energy, and expressed his desire to strengthen the domestic oil and gas sector. However, this push does not guarantee smooth sailing for oil and gas companies, as there are several uncertainties, such as the potential effects of proposed tariffs on oil prices.
Midstream companies are gaining extra cash from their large number of upcoming projects, which improves the future prospects for the Zacks Oil and Gas - Pipeline MLP sector. Key leaders in this industry include Enterprise (EPD), Energy Transfer (ET), and Plains All American Pipeline (PAA).

The market is changing into a great place for stock pickers, as there is a lot of variation and low correlation among stocks, which allows for individual stocks to perform well. Goldman Sachs agrees, pointing out that company fundamentals are now more important than overall economic trends, making careful stock selection crucial. I have found three stocks with solid business models, growth potential, and good dividends that are likely to outperform the market in this focused environment.
Energy stocks have recently declined again, creating good investment opportunities for those looking for income and value. In this article, I will discuss two companies that provide reliable dividends and have strong business positions. Both have solid financials and are priced attractively, offering investors the chance for both income and growth.
Both stocks are priced under $100 per share and are focused on delivering a steady and increasing income for investors. Currently, the overall energy sector offers a yield of about 3.3%. Two appealing dividend stocks at the moment are Enbridge, with a significant 6% dividend yield, and Enterprise Products Partners, a master limited partnership (MLP) that yields 6.4%.
