Endangered Dividends List
We’re still waiting on our first 2022 dividend cut in the Energy and Income Advisor coverage universe, versus 93 companies that reduced payouts at least once during 2020 and 2021. That’s thanks to the immensely favorable combination of industry-wide financial conservatism since mid-2019 and the upturn in the energy cycle.
Endangered Dividends List
The number of 2022 dividend cuts in the Energy and Income Advisor coverage universe is still zero. That remains welcome news indeed versus the 93 companies that reduced their dividends at least once during 2020 and 2021. And it’s thanks to both the industry-wide financial conservatism since mid-2019 and the upturn in the energy cycle.

Earlier this month, global oil prices hit a 13-year high of nearly $140 a barrel. This week, they’ve backed off substantially. As this issue of Energy and Income Advisor goes to post, Brent crude has dropped back to a level just north of $100. And West Texas Intermediate Crude at the Cushing hub has come back to the mid-$90s.

Some 93 companies under EIA coverage cut their dividends at least once during 2020 and 2021. So far in 2022, that number is zero. And there’s good reason to think it may stay there in coming months.

There were no dividend cuts announced in our Energy and Income Advisor coverage universe since the previous issue.
