Dividend investors aim for passive income through quality dividend-paying stocks. Investments may include dividend stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate. The energy sector remains relevant despite volatility due to Middle East conflicts. Large-cap energy stocks are currently considered safe investments, with many paying reliable dividends. OPEC+ has increased production, signaling efforts to maintain market share against U.S. shale. Even though energy stocks have not fully rebounded, incorporating them into portfolios may be beneficial for income-focused investors.
Most dividend investors seek solid passive income streams from quality dividend stocks. Passive income is a steady stream of unearned income that does not require active traditional work.
Growth and income investors with a long horizon should own energy positions. The large capitalization industry giants are the safest bet now.
OPEC+ has decided to increase its production to 548,000 barrels per day in August, reaching close to implementing the full 2.2 million bpd of cuts planned through September 2026.
While now is certainly not the time to go all in on energy, adding some of the industry giants does make sense at current levels, as they all pay substantial and dependable dividends.
