"People usually assume Dividend Aristocrats are slow-growing cash cows that will keep you ahead of inflation with dividends, and perhaps a bit more on top of that. Very rarely do you assume a Dividend Aristocrat would have the bearings to outperform even the Nasdaq-100 over the past 25 years. That's a perfect sign that you're underestimating the power of compounding."
"Canadian Natural Resources is one of the world's largest independent crude oil and natural gas producers. It operates across the entire oil and gas value chain, from exploration to marketing. The company also owns midstream infrastructure. The magic behind its outperformance over the long run is the rising dividend and the company's ability to capitalize whenever there's an increase in oil and gas prices."
Canadian Natural Resources operates across the full oil and gas value chain and owns midstream infrastructure. Rising dividends and sensitivity to oil and gas price moves fueled long-term outperformance, even versus growth indices over 25 years. CNQ rose over 180% in the past five years and offers a forward dividend yield near 5%. Dividends have been raised for 25 consecutive years, with a five-year dividend growth rate of 22.37% and a forward payout ratio around 64%, providing room to withstand market downturns and continue compounding returns. CAD 6 billion was returned in the first nine months of 2025.
