High Yield Shipping Stocks

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:26:00 -0400

Besides utilities and telecom stocks, there aren't many other sectors that pay high yields. One high dividend industry that hasn't received much attention recently is shipping. There are two primary types of shippers, the liquid shippers which transport crude oil, petroleum products, and liquefied natural gas, and the dry bulk shippers, which transport iron ore, coal, grain, minerals, fertilizers, and other non-liquid items.

Shipping stocks generate fairly significant dividends with more than 15 yielding in excess of 3%, according to the free list that was recently updated by WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. For example, Nordic American Tanker Shipping Ltd. (NAT) is a liquid shipper that yields 4%. The stock trades at 40 times forward earnings. Unfortunately, revenues were down 23.8% for the latest reported quarter; the company reports next earnings on May 4.

International Shipholding Corp. (ISH) is a dry bulk shipper with a 6.5% yield, and trades at 10.7 times earnings. Revenues for the latest quarter were down 35.8%. The earnings announcement is April 25.

Another high yield dry bulk shipper is Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (NM) paying 4.4%, and a price to earnings ratio of 4.3. Earnings for the latest quarter were up 27.7%, with earnings rising over 300%. The company reports May 23.

Top Yielding Shipping Stocks

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 21:29:00 -0400

Income investors looking for some diversification from electric and gas utility stocks, should climb aboard some shipping stocks. There are two types of shippers, the liquid shippers which transport crude oil, petroleum products, and liquefied natural gas, and the dry bulk shippers, which transport iron ore, coal, grain, minerals, fertilizers, and other non-liquid items.

The shipping stocks generate some fairly high dividends with nineteen yielding over 4%, according to a list that was just developed by WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. For example, Nordic American Tanker Shipping Ltd (NAT) is a liquid shipper that yields 8.8%. International Shipholding Corp. (ISH) is a dry bulk shipper with a 7.1% yield. Another high yield dry bulk shipper is Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (NM) paying 5.3%.

For a free Excel database of over 20 high dividend shipping stocks, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. A few of these stocks yield more than 10%, but I think those yields are probably unsustainable.

Nat Gas 101

Nat Gas, and associated companies like Chesapeake Energy (CHK)** is (are) going to get better.

Our Prez and Congress have their priorities all wrong. Now that the healthcare debacle, is temporarily off to the side (I think the courts will make them FIX parts of it ...) Congress and the Prez need to get their priorities straight ... The USA has a HUGE trade deficit, yes, much of it with CHINA and its' manipulated currency, but also with imported crude.

To offset that huge trade deficit, the USA can now focus on its abundant supplies of Nat Gas, and Coalbed Methane, to power MORE trucks, cars, buses, etc ... Doing a lot more NOW with Nat Gas will help with JOBS, the TRADE DEFICIT, GLOBAL WARMING (Nat gas is a cleaner fuel than crude or coal) and even our NATIONAL DEBT.

Nat gas is a cleaner fuel than crude, yes it is ... and not just in, and for, the environment.

Take three identical vehicles, run one on gasoline, the second on diesel, and the third on nat gas. After 100,000 miles .... disassemble the engines, and look at the CRUD, except the nat gas engine is pretty clean ... wow!! Now, the CRUD and CARBON in the other engines, AND the additional wear and tear, the deterioriation that ROBS each of us of performance and cleanliness of the environment. That's what WE as consumers have to gain ...

What are we waiting for?

** Why CHK ...?
Chesapeake Energy's CEO recently stated CHK could do one or two more joint ventures AND is looking to grow FIFTY percent in the next three years. The joint ventures partners are picking up the tabs (costs) for new wells resulting in LOWER expenses for CHK. Stock prices and PE's DO change to reflect growth, or lack thereof.

Can Wal-Mart (WMT), IBM (IBM) or Intel (INTC) say the same ... or even have a REMOTE chance to pull a quarter of that rate of growth off? Hmmm!

What Debt Free Stock Yields Over 16%

What Debt Free Stock Yields Over 16%

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:07:00 -0500

It is amazing that there are still plenty of high yielding stocks out there, with high yielding being above 6%. However, when you see a stock yielding above 16%, you really take notice. But is the yield real?

An updated list of high yield debt free stocks was just posted by WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, and at the top of the list was BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (BPT), which is technically a royalty trust, somewhat similar to the Canadian oil income trusts. The company owns overriding royalty interests in minerals in the Prudhoe Bay oil field located on the North Slope in Alaska.

If you look at the company on Yahoo (YHOO) Finance, the stock shows a yield of 16.5%, which is correct based on the latest quarterly payment. However, if you look at the last four quarterly payments, the yield is actually 9.1%, still very high though.

Another example is the investment management company, AllianceBernstein Holding LP (AB), which is technically a publicly traded limited partnership. The yield based on the latest payment is 10.1%, yet based on the last four quarterly dividends is just 5.3%, still a decent payout.

If you like monthly dividends, there are plenty to choose from, such as Sabine Royalty Trust (SBR) with a yield of 7.7%.

Just remember, some of these high yields may not be sustainable. Look what happened to Nordic American Tanker Shipping Ltd (NAT). It's last three quarterly dividends have gone from 88 cents to 50 cents to 10 cents.

To access a free list of high yielding stocks with no debt, which can be changed, sorted, and downloaded, go to WSNN.com. Almost all the stocks on the list yield more than 4%.
