Dividend Yield: 4.3%

Silvercrest Asset Management Group recently declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.20 per share, maintaining its stable dividend history over the past decade. Although the payout ratio is high at 98.5%, indicating dividends are not well covered by earnings, they are supported by cash flows with a reasonable cash payout ratio of 61.5%.

Operations: Chord Energy Corporation generates revenue primarily from the exploration and production of crude oil, NGLs, and natural gas, amounting to $4.45 billion.

Dividend Yield: 9%

Chord Energy's dividend yield of 8.97% places it among the top 25% of U.S. dividend payers, although its four-year history reveals volatility with significant annual drops. Despite this instability, dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios at 52.1% and 66.5%, respectively. The stock is trading significantly below fair value estimates, suggesting potential upside; however, shareholder dilution last year and expected earnings decline may impact future payouts.
