Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on Pembina Pipeline Corporation (TSE:PPL) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. PPL is a well-regarded dividend payer with a a great track record of delivering benchmark-beating performance. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects.

Solid track record average dividend payer

PPL delivered a bottom-line expansion of 45% in the prior year, with its most recent earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. Not only did PPL outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the Oil and Gas industry expansion, which generated a 16% earnings growth. This is an optimistic signal for the future.

PPL dishes out decent dividend payments over time, beating the low-risk savings rate, which is able to compensate investors for taking on the risk of holding a risky stock over a riskless asset. That said, please remember that dividend yields are a function of stock prices and corporate profits, both of which can be volatile.
