Norway-based Ocean Yield ASA (OTCPK:OYIEF) has taken on 20 vessels over the past five quarters. It's also very appealing to us that these vessels are deployed in a variety of industries, which diversifies OYIEF's business risk. Another plus is that it operates on long-term contracts; currently, it has an average of 11.4 years left on its fleet's contracts with a backlog of $2.8B. You want earnings growth? Here it is - revenue rose 18%, adjusted net profit grew 21%, and EBITDA rose 22% over the past four quarters. Dividends/share grew nicely also, up 15.73%. Plus, management slightly decreased the dividend payout ratio, thanks to strong earnings, even though the unit count grew over 10%.
