High-Yield and High-Growth? This Energy Stock Backs Its 3.7%-Yielding Dividend With Booming AI-Driven Gas Demand.

Yahoo Finance ·

High-yield dividend stocks tend to be slower-growing companies. However, that's not the case with Kinder Morgan ( KMI +0.34% ) . The natural gas pipeline giant grew adjusted earnings per share by a brisk 32% in the second quarter, driven by robust gas demand. That's providing plenty of support for its 3.7%-yielding dividend. That strong growth should continue, fueled by rising power demand to support AI data centers and other catalysts. It should give the pipeline stock ample power to continue growing its high-yielding dividend . Kinder Morgan recently reported its second-quarter results. The gas pipeline giant posted $867 million of net income, a record for the second quarter. Meanwhile, its adjusted earnings rocketed 32% to $0.37 per share. The company's gas pipeline segment generated nearly $1.5 billion in earnings before depreciation and amortization, up 8.5% from the prior year. Kinder Morgan benefited from a 7% uptick in volumes, driven by liquefied natural gas (LNG) deliveries, increased exports to Mexico, and higher power generation demand. It also benefited from a 17% increase in product pipeline earnings and a 43% surge in carbon dioxide profitability, both largely driven by higher commodity prices.
