Dividend Stocks Capitalizing On Natural Gas

Domestic natural gas production has been booming for years now, but equities investors still haven’t gotten the hang of making money on it. The drilling bets backfired, and other sectors touted as gas-rush beneficiaries offered up an awful lot of losers among the winners. The drilling boom, as so many investors already discovered, is not a play that works with simplistic sector analysis. There’s been plenty of money lost already with investments in companies that were supposed to gain on the trend but didn’t.

But ignore the generalizations and sift through those sectors carefully, and something interesting emerges: conservative, dividend-paying investments in companies getting richer on the gas glut. YCharts found seven big, reliable dividend payers making money on natural gas’ indefinite abundance in four different sectors. Most of them, like Dow Chemical (DOW) and steelmaker Nucor (NUE), have a healthy distance from the drillers that burned natural gas investors in recent years. Others, like NextEra Energy (NEE), have specific strategic advantages that let them profit even while others in their industry suffer.
