3只值得投资并忘记的股息股票以获得相对安全的被动收入

交易者因资产波动而繁荣，无论是股票还是比特币和山寨币。但是那些想要避免这种日常焦虑和不可预测性的人呢？

Traders rely on asset price volatility for gains, be it in stocks or Bitcoin and altcoins. But what about those who want to avoid the daily anxiety and unpredictability? This is where the invest-and-forget approach can come in handy, especially when considering dividend stocks.

交易者依靠资产价格波动来获取收益，无论是股票还是比特币和山寨币。但是那些想要避免日常焦虑和不可预测性的人呢？这就是“投资后忘记”方法可以派上用场的地方，特别是在考虑股息股票时。

However, not just any dividend stock will do the trick. Investors must be confident that they can “forget” about these stocks after investing, which translates to companies with unique competitive advantages that are unlikely to be disrupted. At the same time, their dividend yields have to be high to outpace the inflation rate.

然而，并不是任何股息股票都能起到作用。投资者必须相信，他们在投资后可以“忘记”这些股票，这意味着公司拥有独特的竞争优势，不太可能被颠覆。与此同时，它们的股息收益率必须很高才能超过通货膨胀率。

These three dividend stocks fit the bill for investors who value relatively safe passive income over the long haul.

这三只股息股票适合长期看重相对安全的被动收入的投资者。

Enbridge Inc. (NYSE: ENB) – 6.03% dividend yield

安桥公司（纽约证券交易所股票代码：ENB）——股息收益率 6.03%

This pipeline infrastructure company headquartered in Canada has paid shareholders dividends for nearly 70 years. Over the last 29 years, Enbridge has grown its dividend at an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%, making it a dividend aristocrat stock.

这家总部位于加拿大的管道基础设施公司已向股东派息近70年。在过去 29 年里，安桥的股息以 10% 的平均复合年增长率 (CAGR) 增长，使其成为股息贵族股票。

It is safe to say that Enbridge is a critical cog in modern civilization, as the company maintains a vast network of crude oil/natural gas pipelines across North America. In turn, this business model yields predictable cash flows. So much so that in 2023, Enbridge acquired three US gas utilities to further solidify its market position.

可以肯定地说，安桥是现代文明的关键齿轮，因为该公司在北美拥有庞大的原油/天然气管道网络。反过来，这种商业模式会产生可预测的现金流。以至于2023年，安桥收购了三个美国天然气公用事业公司，以进一步巩固其市场地位。

Enbridge announced another 3% common share dividend increase in early December, from an annualized $3.66 to $3.77 per share, which goes into effect on March 1st, 2025. Likewise, the company projected $19.4 – $20 billion EBITDA guidance for 2025, compared to reaffirmed $18.3 billion for 2024.

Enbridge 于 12 月初宣布将普通股股息再次上调 3%，从年化每股 3.66 美元增至 3.77 美元，该政策于 2025 年 3 月 1 日生效。同样，该公司预计 2025 年 EBITDA 指导为 19.4 至 200 亿美元，而重申的为 18.3 美元2024 年为 10 亿。

On February 14th, Enbridge is scheduled to report its Q4 2024 earnings. In November’s Q3 report, the company announced the completion of all planned US utilities, such as PSNC, and acquired a 15% interest in the DBR gas system to bolster growth.

安桥计划于 2 月 14 日公布 2024 年第四季度收益。在11月的第三季度报告中，该公司宣布完成PSNC等所有计划的美国公用事业项目，并收购了DBR天然气系统15%的权益以促进增长。

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) – 7.07% dividend yield

Verizon Communications Inc.（纽约证券交易所股票代码：VZ）——股息收益率 7.07%

Besides the distribution of energy, another layer for modern civilization to function is telecommunication infrastructure. Verizon fulfills this role as an almost dividend aristocrat stock. The “almost” part should be removed within a year. Reminder: dividend aristocrat stocks have to increase their dividend payouts consecutively for 25 years.

除了能源分配之外，现代文明发挥作用的另一个层面是电信基础设施。 Verizon 作为一只近乎股息贵族的股票履行了这一角色。 “几乎”的部分应该在一年内删除。提醒：股息贵族股必须连续25年增加派息。

Relative to competitors in the communications services sector, Verizon holds 11.53% market share, neck and neck with AT&T at 11.89%, while Comcast is trailing at 10.39%. In October 2024, Verizon made a big move in expansion by acquiring Frontier Communications for $20 billion, at $38.50 per share in cash. This was to further broaden Verizon’s fiber-optic internet footprint, alongside wireless.

与通信服务领域的竞争对手相比，Verizon 拥有 11.53% 的市场份额，与 AT&T 的 11.89% 并驾齐驱，而康卡斯特则以 10.39% 的市场份额落后。 2024 年 10 月，Verizon 采取了重大扩张举措，以 200 亿美元（每股 38.50 美元现金）收购了 Frontier Communications。这是为了进一步扩大 Verizon 的光纤互联网覆盖范围和无线网络覆盖范围。

That month, Verizon released its latest Q3 2024 earnings showing relatively flat $33.3 billion revenue, while increasing wireless service revenue year-over-year.

当月，Verizon 发布了最新的 2024 年第三季度财报，显示收入相对持平，为 333 亿美元，但无线服务收入同比增长。

Verizon ended the quarter with a $14.5 billion free cash flow, leaving the telecom giant with a 2.5x debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. Moving forward, the company aims to cut costs, expand 5G Ultra Wideband and utilize AI technology to remove unnecessary expenditures.

Verizon 本季度末的自由现金流为 145 亿美元，这使得这家电信巨头的债务与调整后 EBITDA 比率达到了 2.5 倍。展望未来，该公司的目标是削减成本、扩展5G超宽带并利用人工智能技术消除不必要的支出。

Verizon’s annual dividend payout per share is $2.71. At present, VZ stock is priced at relatively cheap below the 52-week average of $41.17 per share. Verizon’s next earnings report is scheduled for January 24th.

Verizon 的年度每股股息支付为 2.71 美元。目前，VZ 股票价格相对便宜，低于 41.17 美元/股的 52 周平均水平。 Verizon 的下一份收益报告定于 1 月 24 日发布。

Ares Capital Corporation (NYSE: ARCC) – 8.35% dividend yield

Ares Capital Corporation（纽约证券交易所股票代码：ARCC）——股息收益率 8.35%

Next to energy and telecommunications, what do businesses need to grow? Finance. This is where Ares Capital comes in with direct lending to middle-market companies. Ares doesn’t issue new shares to raise lending capital, making it a closed-ended specialty finance firm.

除了能源和电信之外，企业还需要什么来发展？金融。这就是阿瑞斯资本（Ares Capital）向中间市场公司直接贷款的切入点。 Ares 不发行新股来筹集借贷资金，这使其成为一家封闭式专业金融公司。

Rather, Ares generates cash flows from paid interest and dividends from its own investments. In other words, exposure to Ares is equal to exposure to a broad spectrum of reputable companies across different sectors, from IT and health care to insurance, retail, media and energy infrastructure.

相反，Ares 通过其自身投资支付的利息和股息产生现金流。换句话说，投资于 Ares 等于投资于不同行业的众多知名公司，从 IT 和医疗保健到保险、零售、媒体和能源基础设施。

In November, Ares released its Q3 2024 earnings report, showing a 13% annualized shareholder return. This significantly outperforms the S&P 500 index as well as the big players in the banking sector.

11月，Ares发布了2024年第三季度收益报告，显示年化股东回报率为13%。这明显优于标准普尔 500 指数以及银行业的大型企业。

As of September 2024, Ares holds $5.8 billion in available liquidity, which is 1.6x greater than its unfunded investment commitments. Against its BDC (Business Development Company) peers

截至 2024 年 9 月，Ares 持有 58 亿美元的可用流动资金，是其无资金投资承诺的 1.6 倍。与 BDC（业务发展公司）同行相比
