The broader market has been quite volatile this year amid the noise surrounding tariffs, recession fears, and heightened geopolitical tensions. For conservative investors, low-beta dividend stocks can provide some relief from the broader market volatility.
Midstream energy companies are especially popular among investors seeking high-yield dividend stocks, as they are known to pay substantial dividends. I find Energy Transfer (ET) a good buy in that space, especially after the recent pullback where the stock has lost over 17.7% from its 2025 highs.
