Most people have never heard of Macquarie Infrastructure Corp (NYSE:MIC), but the company offers one of the biggest cash payouts in the entire stock market. Headquartered in New York City, Macquarie Infrastructure owns and operates a portfolio of infrastructure and infrastructure-like businesses in the United States.
What is impressive, though, is the company’s ability to generate free cash flow. You see, Macquarie Infrastructure Corp generated $327.0 million in adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2019. To put that in perspective, the company paid $258.0 million in dividends for this period. As a result, MIC stock had a payout ratio of 78.9%. Now, here’s the neat part. Other than collecting a hefty dividend, there might be another way for Macquarie Infrastructure stock investors to get paid. On the same day as its third-quarter earnings report, Macquarie Infrastructure announced that it would pursue strategic alternatives, including the sale of the company or its operating businesses in an effort to unlock value for shareholders.
