Outperforming High Dividend Stock Yields 12%, Upped Guidance, Estimates Rising

Do you own any Energy-related stocks? If you do, your patience must have been put through the ringer over the past 2 years, as Oil and Natural Gas prices fell by 70%, before starting to bounce back in 2016, punishing all energy-related stocks on the way, regardless of their business models. This stock yields 12.69% and has steadily maintained its distributions over the past 5 quarters. Management increased guidance on the Q2 earnings release. Analysts have given it upward earnings revisions in the past 30 days, and FBR Capital just initiated it at Outperform.

One business that has fought its way through this downturn, while not cutting its distributions, is USA Compression Partners LP, (NYSE:USAC). Even though rig counts have plunged by 80% in the US, the essential role compression plays in the energy production and distribution chain has helped USAC to actually grow its Distributable Cash Flow during this period. This DCF growth is also due to management increasing the horsepower of its fleet in 2012-2015, which, in turn, has helped them maintain their distributions.
