Why These Two Dividend Stocks Look Like Compelling Buys

Yield-hunters are always looking for stocks that not only offer attractive yields, but also impressive growth prospects. The key is to have a regular, growing income stream while preserving capital. A couple energy sector stocks right now offer this compelling risk-reward proposition: Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) and TC Energy (NYSE: TRP). Let's see why these two stocks tick all the boxes on any income investor's checklist.

Enterprise Products Partners' massive 9.4% yield makes it look like a risky stock. But the stock isn't really as risky as it appears. In fact, it is one of the most conservatively managed midstream -- think pipelines and infrastructure -- operators. Enterprise Products' debt-to-EBITDA ratio is one of the lowest among its peers.
