Payout Focus: 3.9% annual dividend from US energy distributor
This time we focused on a company that has long been a strong player in the energy services industry in the United States. Although its history begins with the merger of two large energy companies, its current strategy and steady growth make it an interesting example of successful transformation and adaptation to a changing market. But what is even more interesting is its dividend policy. In 2024, the annual dividend, which now stands at $1.52 per share, has been further increased, despite the economic challenges the company has had to overcome.

In 2024, the company reported solid financial results, with revenues of approximately $48.7 billion, up 5% from the previous year. The company also saw a significant improvement in cash flow, which not only allowed for an increase in the dividend, but also continued investment in renewable energy and infrastructure upgrades.
