Is UGI Corporation a Great Dividend Stock?
Income-seeking investors likely have differing views on what makes a great dividend stock. Many tend to focus on the size of a company's yield. Those who do would probably give UGI Corporation (NYSE: UGI) a passing grade since the utility yields about 3% at the moment, well above the roughly 2% average yield of stocks in the S&P 500.
However, yield alone isn't the best way to measure a dividend stock. Instead, the best dividend stocks are those that consistently increase their payout. That's because companies that grow their dividends have historically outperformed non-growers by a wide margin.
Here's a look at UGI's dividend growth track record as well as its future potential.
