Very few investors doubt that natural gas is going to be a huge play in the years ahead, with the only question being when it'll break out, not if it'll break out.
Long-term investors have been loading up on low-valuation natural gas stocks in order to position themselves for the expected huge returns coming to the industry.
In the meantime, there are some decent plays for those wanting to invest in natural gas companies for dividends.
For example, AmeriGas Partners LP (NYSE:APU), a distributor of retail propane in America, provided a dividend of yield of 6.00 in 2010, with EPS growth of 20.59 percent during that period. It pays out $0.705 a share at this time.
Niska Gas Storage Partners LLC (NYSE:NKA) is another natural gas company offering up a good dividend yield, paying out 6.38 in 2010. EPS growth over the next 5 years is estimated to be 3 percent. Niska pays out $0.35 a share.
Suburban Propane Partners LP (SPH) had a dividend yield of 6.10 in 2010, with EPS growth over the last five years of 10.08 percent. They pay out $0.853 a share at this time.
Last is Integrys Energy Group, Inc. (NYSE:TEG), which had a dividend yield in 2010 of 5.40 percent. EPS in the last 5 years has been a dismal -5.78 percent, but is expected to grow at a healthy 6.96 percent clip over the next five years. They pay out $0.68 a share.
