3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks Worth Buying Now
These three energy companies combine generous payouts with the cash flow, coverage, and discipline that can help make those distributions last.
Overview
Income investors know the energy and materials sectors can be a minefield. The payouts look generous, but the businesses are often tied to volatile commodities and shifting regulations. To me, the sweet spot is where the distributions are high, but the energy and materials companies themselves keep talking about coverage, growth, and balance sheet health in their own releases. That is usually where a headline yield is more likely to be durable rather than just seductive.

Hess Midstream (NYSE: HESM) sits in that camp. In April, the company's board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.7792 per Class A share for the first quarter of 2026, noting that this was an increase of just over $0.015 per share from the prior quarter. Management tied that increase to accretive unit repurchases and higher adjusted free cash flow, and then raised its full-year 2026 adjusted free cash flow guidance to $910 million to $960 million.
