EPD

EPD has gained 24.3% in a year, backed by stable cash flows and growth projects, but its valuation and $6.3B spending plan warrant caution.

Most retirees aren't trying to beat the market. They want reliable monthly income that pays the bills without causing sleepless nights. The catch is that high yield and peace of mind tend to pull in opposite directions, and many tempting high-yielders have let investors down. The way out is a deliberate compromise: give up big growth in return for income you can count on and stable capital.

Market sentiment changes, and economic cycles come and go, but the world's dependence on essential resources and infrastructure remains. We see opportunity in owning what the world needs. From natural resources to critical energy infrastructure, we highlight two high-yield investments that provide exposure to the building blocks of the global economy. We like owning productive assets, collecting substantial income, and letting compounding work in our favor.

The 10-year Treasury now hands you a nearly 5% yield with zero credit risk, so any dividend stock asking you to take on more complexity had better earn it.

Enterprise Products (EPD) has been one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com users lately. So, it is worth exploring what lies ahead for the stock.

Enterprise Products Partners has raised its dividend for 28 straight years. The company has seen its shares jump up over 19% so far this year.

Retiring on dividends comes down to two things: income you can count on and returns that make saving easier. Since those two goals pull against each other, I use a specific payout and cash-flow test to find the right balance. That test leaves out many popular dividend names but highlights two businesses built for decades of steady income.

A high yield means nothing if the cash behind it runs dry at the wrong moment.
