Williams Companies: A Financial Fortress Offering Sustainable and Rising Dividends
A financial fortress
Williams offers investors a rock-solid income stream. Williams has flown under the radar of many investors and doesn't offer as high a dividend yield as some peers. However, its 5.1%-yielding dividend is super safe, supported by over $5 billion in cash flow and steady earnings from regulated rate structures. The company's high dividend coverage and low leverage ratio ensure a firm foundation.
The fuel to grow
- Williams has organic expansion projects funded with retained cash flow, ensuring future earnings growth. These projects include natural gas transmission system expansions and infrastructure projects in the Gulf of Mexico. The company is also investing in lower carbon sources and has the financial flexibility for acquisitions.
