NYSE: SUN | Sunoco L.P. News, Ratings, and Charts

SUN – There is always a risk with high dividend stocks, however, occasionally, they present an appetizing opportunity for companies in improving sectors. If you think energy has more upside, then consider these 8%-plus payers.

It is not often that you find stocks with dividends above 5%. It is even rarer for a stock to have a dividend of 8% or higher. However, if you sort through the entirety of publicly traded stocks, you will eventually find these dividend superstars.

Instead of spending your limited time hunting for dividends stocks with the highest payouts, let us do the work for you. As long as you are comfortable investing in the energy sector, you will be treated to handsome dividends every single year.

Below, we provide a look at three of the best energy stocks with high dividend payments: Sunoco (SUN), Delek Logistics Partners (DKL) and Oasis Midstream Partners (OMP).

Sunoco (SUN)

The analysts have established a high target price of $35 for SUN. The stock is currently trading at $32. It is particularly interesting to note SUN’s upside potential is greater than nearly one-third of all US stocks.

SUN is also attractive as it has a fairly low forward P/E ratio of 8.03. This means SUN might be undervalued around $32 per share despite the fact that it is less than a dollar away form its 52-week high of $33. SUN’s decision to sell most of its gas stations and pay down debt appears to be working. Add in the fact that SUN has a dividend of 10.65% and investors have even more reason to be intrigued by the stock. The company’s repayment of debt has solidified its cash distribution, ensuring the dividend can be paid.

Delek Logistics Partners (DKL)

DKL also has a B grade in the POWR Ratings, meaning it is a Buy. DKL has B grades in the Quality and Growth components of the POWR Ratings.

This low forward P/E ratio is all the more interesting considering DKL is within a dollar of its 52-week high of $43.15. Above all, investors gravitate toward DKL for its elite dividend payment of 8.81%. DKL’s EPS is likely to grow by an impressive 40.3% this year alone, beating out the industry average of 13.6% EPS growth.

Oasis Midstream Partners (OMP)

OMP owns and operates a well-diversified portfolio of midstream assets, most of which are in North America. OMP’s midstream services range from the gathering of gas to processing gas, crude oil gathering and disposal services. OMP’s operations are in the Wild Basin.
