Three dividend-paying midstream energy stocks to buy with oil prices topping $105 per barrel and improving prospects for North American transporters of oil and gas from the producers to the distributors.
The three dividend-paying midstream energy stocks to buy also offer income investors the opportunity to be paid for their patience, as well as to capture capital appreciation. Despite headlines about tankers trapped in the Strait of Hormuz and fresh reports that Iran is attacking ships and its neighboring nations, these three dividend-paying energy stocks are favored by industry followers and worthy of purchasing, especially with President Xi discussing the purchase of U.S. oil and energy during his meeting with President Trump on Friday, May 15.
That optimism does not extend to the industry overall. But with the potential of an extended ceasefire, despite periodic aggressive acts by Iran's military that have been countered by more powerful U.S. responses, new investors in energy stocks can acquire shares of slightly reduced prices compared to recent weeks when oil prices surged well past $100 per barrel.

Three Dividend-paying Energy Stocks to Buy Amid Volatility: China-U.S. Trade
China is expected to boost its crude oil imports from the United States following a meeting on Friday, May 15 between President Trump and his host President Xi, said U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The world’s two largest economies are natural trade partners when it comes to energy, the member of the U.S. Cabinet said.
With China as the largest oil importer in the world and the United States as the No. 1 producer, there is a natural energy trade between them, Wright commented. Iran’s efforts to attack ships trying to operate in the Strait of Hormuz are likely to cause oil producers in the Persian Gulf to build pipelines to transport oil and gas without needing to transport it through the waterway that had been the source of 20% of the world’s oil before the conflict in Iran turned it into an unreliable trade partner.
China and other countries in Asia rely heavily on the Middle East for oil imports, which have been disrupted by Iran since early March with no end in sight. However, China has stockpiled huge oil reserves, which have mitigated the fallout for the nation so far.
“I suspect we’ll see a growth in their oil imports from the United States,” Wright told CNBC during an interview.
Three Dividend-paying Energy Stocks to Buy Amid Volatility: Iran's Missteps
With Strait of Hormuz shipping at a virtual impasse, Middle Eastern oil supply is essentially cut off. The most optimistic forecasts now suggest a gradual return to pre-war shipping levels by late 2026, according to baseline assumptions from the World Bank. The best-case scenario calls for brent crude to stabilize around $86/barrel for the year, down from its current price above $100 per barrel. Buying into the pullback in the shares during the cease fire negotiations provides an entry point to lock in a "very attractive yield" and own a stake in an elite choice of energy companies, said Bryan Perry, who heads the Cash Machine investment newsletter.
In light of the latest attacks by Iran on the United Arab Emirates' energy complex, the spike in oil prices has continued. However, the U.S. response to impose a naval blockade on Iran's exports could benefit the United States, Perry wrote in his Cash Machine hotline. But the situation can change abruptly, he added.

Three Dividend-paying Energy Stocks to Buy Amid Volatility: Market Analysis
Geopolitical developments are a "constant headwind," with the market’s direction in the post-earnings reporting season hinging on how the Iran conflict plays out with the still-closed Strait of Hormuz and inflation ticking up amid higher oil prices and gasoline at the pump, continued Perry, who also leads the Breakout Blue Chip Trader, Hi-Tech Trader and Quick Income Trader advisory services. It is frustrating for consumers to see gasoline prices rise to $4.50 and beyond, he added.
The reality is that the oil market functions globally, not just in the United States, so a lack of supply in the Middle East affects worldwide oil prices, Perry continued.
Also tracking the tenuous ceasefire between Iran and the United States and its effect on the flow of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is Jim Woods, a former U.S. Army paratrooper and officer who head the Forecasts & Strategies investment newsletter. The market is gyrating due to enhanced geopolitical angst in the U.S.-Iran war, the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a chaotic ceasefire situation, added Woods, who also leads the Five Star Trader, TNT Trader, Tactical Trader and Bullseye Stock Trader advisory services.
"The conflict in the Middle East sent oil prices higher, and that move in oil caused some risk-off selling in the S&P 500 of about half a percent," Wood wrote to his Forecasts & Strategies investment newsletter subscribers. "Yet keep in mind here that the move higher in stocks over the past couple of weeks has been extremely impressive, and the main reason for the move has nothing to do with the Middle East, and everything to do with earnings and the consumer.
"So far, the first-quarter earnings season has been extremely strong, with approximately 80% of companies beating estimates, which is solidly above the historical average. I think this is the reason that, despite an ongoing hot war, the S&P 500 is at an all-time high. Interestingly, if we look at earnings results, there were two themes here powering stocks higher: the economic impact of the ongoing AI data center boom, and a resilient consumer."

Three Dividend-paying Midstream Energy Stocks to Buy with Oil Prices Up: EPD
Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) is a current holding in the Forecasts & Strategies investment newsletter led by Woods. Its first-quarter results beat analysts' average estimates and its shareholders are receiving a current dividend yield of 5.6%.
EPD is an integrated energy infrastructure network that provides midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals. The limited partnership links producers from some of the largest North American supply basins with domestic consumers and international markets.
I personally have owned EPD for many years. The one complication is that it forces shareholders to navigate a tricky K-1 tax form each year. I dislike dealing with it, but have yet to sell due to consistently positive returns on my investment.

Three Dividend-paying Midstream Energy Stocks to Buy with Oil Prices Up: DTM
Citi Research rates DT Midstream (NYSE: DTM) as a buy and has set a $156 target price. DTM also offers a current dividend yield of 2.38%. DTM is a major natural gas pipeline company based in Detroit.
DTM has advanced two modest-sized projects, Vector '28 and Millennium R2R, with both expected to advance along with contract progression on existing pipelines. As for larger projects, DTM indicated interest in MIST and Vector 2030 expansions beyond their current capacity.
That would be positive and consistent with posturing from the company’s management, the investment firm wrote in a recent research note. Citi Research estimates successful commercialization of these projects spurring growth for DTM.

Three Dividend-paying Midstream Energy Stocks to Buy with Oil Prices Up: Iran's Geopolitical Precipice
Iran planted the seeds for its current conflict with the United States with the 1979 Islamic Revolution, said Hugh Grossman, senior leader of the DayTrade SPY options trading room. The November 4, 1979, seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and the subsequent 444-day hostage crisis symbolized opposition to U.S. policies, Grossman said.
"In chanting 'Death to America,' perhaps President Jimmy Carter should have finished off the conflict at that time, but Americans, being the patient society we are, graciously kicked the problem down the road," Grossman continued. "Decades later, Iran has developed -- ironically with the financial, military and technological help from America -- the means to seriously threaten us."
President Trump had little choice but to end this "relentless threat," not to mention the horrific slaughters the current regime inflicted upon tens of thousands of protestors who opposed the government, Grossman counseled. Geopolitical conflicts often have far-reaching effects on the stock market, but options trading provides an alternative, he added.
"Initially, the resilient market shrugged off the first attack on Tehran," Grossman recalled. "Where we will see the effects will be in the increased price of oil as Iran escalates its threats to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries a fifth of the world’s oil supplies, but this I expect to be short-lived. Oil increases in price, creates inflation and a threat to interest rates, which is why SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) has dropped so dramatically in the days following the attack."
Grossman said he doubts the current conflict will cause long-term, devastating effects, since the economy is still fundamentally strong with consumers and businesses still spending and inflation even creeping up recently. What is also different this time, as opposed to prior tightening of oil supplies as seen in the 1973 oil embargo, is that the United States became a net energy exporter in 2001.
Grossman and his partner Jon Johnson lead a trading room that has amassed a success rate or more than 83% with the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust NYSE: SPY). With the market remaining volatile, Grossman recommended the DayTrade SPY options trading room as a good alternative or a supplement to stock investing. |
