Is Adams Resources & Energy Inc (NYSEMKT:AE) An Attractive Dividend Stock?

Bruce Howe

Dividends can be underrated but they form a large part of investment returns, playing an important role in compounding returns in the long run. Over the past 10 years, Adams Resources & Energy Inc (AMEX:AE) has returned an average of 2.00% per year to shareholders in terms of dividend yield. Should it have a place in your portfolio? Let’s take a look at Adams Resources & Energy in more detail. View our latest analysis for Adams Resources & Energy

How I analyze a dividend stock

If you are a dividend investor, you should always assess these five key metrics:

  • Is its annual yield among the top 25% of dividend-paying companies?

  • Does it consistently pay out dividends without missing a payment of significantly cutting payout?

  • Has the amount of dividend per share grown over the past?

  • Is it able to pay the current rate of dividends from its earnings?

  • Will it have the ability to keep paying its dividends going forward?

How does Adams Resources & Energy fare?

Adams Resources & Energy has a negative payout ratio, which means that it is loss-making, and paying its dividend from its retained earnings. Reliablity is an important factor for dividend stocks, particularly for income investors who want a strong track record of payment and a positive outlook for future payout. In the case of AE it has increased its DPS from $0.47 to $0.88 in the past 10 years. During this period it has not missed a payment, as one would expect for a company increasing its dividend. These are all positive signs of a great, reliable dividend stock. Compared to its peers, Adams Resources & Energy produces a yield of 2.15%, which is on the low-side for Oil and Gas stocks.

Next Steps:

Taking all the above into account, Adams Resources & Energy is a complicated pick for dividend investors given that there are a couple of positive things about it as well as negative. But if you are not exclusively a dividend investor, the stock could still be an interesting investment opportunity. Given that this is purely a dividend analysis, you should always research extensively before deciding whether or not a stock is an appropriate investment for you. I always recommend analysing the company’s fundamentals and underlying business before making an investment decision. Below, I’ve compiled three pertinent aspects you should look at:
