Moving crude oil and natural gas, the midstream subsector of the energy industry has long been a great place to find dividends and gains. Thanks to their steady, toll road-like nature and stable cash flows, midstream firms feature strong yields and cash flow generation. And that’s been true for our Best Dividend Stocks List pick in the sector. Since adding our pick to our coveted list back in the winter of 2017, our selection is up nearly 22% and has paid some handsome dividends.

All in all, our midstream-focused utility pick has the goods to keep the income and gains coming.
