This 4.3%-Yielding Dividend Stock Could Double Its Payout In 8 Years
Key Points Despite raising its dividend payment by 8% annually over the past 12 years, Brookfield Infrastructure stock offers a high yield that is more than triple the market average. Brookfield Infrastructure grew second-quarter funds from operations by 9% year over year, when adjusted for fluctuating currency exchange rates. If Brookfield Infrastructure's bottom line continues growing at its present pace, the company could double its payout in about eight years. 10 stocks we like better than Brookfield Infrastructure › Investors looking for ways to pad their passive income stream with dividend stocks typically have two basic options. You can choose dividend payers that offer high yields, but these stocks tend to raise their payouts slowly, if at all. On the other hand, you could buy shares of businesses expected to raise their payouts quickly. Unfortunately, rapid payout raisers tend to offer yields that are less than the risk-free interest rate you can receive from a basic savings account. If you're not excited about low-yield payout growers or risky high-yield stocks, I've got good news. Brookfield Infrastructure (NYSE: BIPC) is a highly reliable dividend grower that offers a juicy 4.3% yield at recent prices. Here's why it looks like a perfect dividend growth stock for folks who want to see their payouts grow but can't accept low yields up front. A perfect foundation for steadily growing dividend payments Every day, millions of workers rely on Brookfield Infrastructure's massive portfolio of utility, energy, transport, and data-related assets to do their job. Whether it's pipelines that deliver natural gas, fiber optic cables that deliver data, or shipping containers that carry goods, demand for the assets this company invests in is reliable. With heaps of assets subject to depreciation and amortization, funds from operations (FFO) is the preferred metric for evaluating Brookfield Infrastructure's cash flows from one period to another. Income-seeking investors adore this business, because about 85% of FFO comes from regulated utility businesses and entities that sign long-term contracts. The company targets a payout ratio between 60% and 70% of FFO. Despite raising its payout by 8% annually over the past 12 years, the latest dividend payment was in the preferred range at 68% of FFO generated during the quarter. That means raising the dividend payment at roughly the same pace as the company's bottom line shouldn't be a problem. Brookfield Infrastructure's dividend payout has grown by 8% annually over the past 12 years. Continuing at this pace probably won't be a problem. If we adjust for foreign exchange rates, second-quarter FFO rose by 9% year over year. Second-quarter FFO that grew 9% year over year hit the top end of Brookfield Infrastructure's expected growth rate over the long term. If it can maintain this pace, the dividend payments that freshly acquired shares deliver could double in about eight years. Two avenues for growth Brookfield Infrastructure has investment-grade credit ratings from the major rating agencies. It's also a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM), a leading alternative asset manager with over $1 trillion in assets under management. Brookfield Infrastructure's parent boasts an "A" credit rating from Fitch, and an "A-" rating from S&P Global. Over the past 12 months, Brookfield Asset Management raised a whopping $97 billion in capital, which gives Brookfield Infrastructure a lot of opportunities to acquire new assets. Brookfield Infrastructure recently acquired 5,500 miles of pipelines capable of transporting 2.5 million barrels per day of refined products between Texas and New York. The company expects enough profit from the pipeline to repay its principal investment in about seven years. Operating this pipeline seems like a great way to generate a profit, but it isn't Brookfield's only option. In the first seven months of 2025, the company sold nine assets for proceeds of around $2.4 billion. Brookfield Infrastructure refers to selling assets it's developed as a capital recycling program. Whatever you want to call it, it's been a tremendous source of profit. For example, the company recently sold a stake in its U.K. ports operation for $385 million, which was 7.5 times more than it paid in 2009. That works out to a 19% internal rate of return. With Brookfield Asset Management at its back, Brookfield Infrastructure doesn't just get the benefit of cheap and plentiful capital. It also has access to around 2,500 investment professionals who have their fingers on the pulse of the alternative-asset landscape. Continued growth at the top end of management's expected range of 5% to 9% isn't guaranteed, but it isn't an entirely unreasonable expectation either. For most investors, adding some shares of this stock to a diverse portfolio now and holding them indefinitely looks like the right move. Should you invest $1,000 in Brookfield Infrastructure right now? Before you buy stock in Brookfield Infrastructure, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Brookfield Infrastructure wasn't one of them.

3 Underdog Stocks That Could Outperform the Market in the Second Half of 2025
Key Points Machine vision adoption will only increase with artificial intelligence (AI) infused in it. The multiyear backlogs at aircraft manufacturers imply strong growth prospects for this supplier. Tobotaxis and full self-driving solutions are the key to this company's investment case. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › These three stocks are fundamentally sound companies with excellent underlying growth prospects. However, shares in machine vision expert Cognex (NASDAQ: CGNX), advanced materials company Hexcel (NYSE: HXL), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) all declined in the first half of 2025. On balance, all three are worth buying, as their issues appear to be near term, and their long-term investment cases remain excellent. Cognex's machine vision It's been a difficult few years for the leading machine vision company, as its main end markets suffered cyclical weakness. Let's put it this way: If you are an automotive company, consumer electronics, or logistics company, and seeing slowing end markets due to relatively high interest rates, then the first thing you will cut is capital spending on new product development and expanding production lines. That's what happened with Cognex over the last couple of years, and it's easily seen in a chart of its revenue over an extended period. CGNX Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts Another thing you might notice is that, although Cognex's revenue does oscillate wildly, it does so about an upward trend line, and I think there's every reason to believe Cognex could get back to an aggressive growth phase in the near future. It's not only that machine vision is an integral part of the fourth industrial revolution (the integration of the digital and physical worlds using the Internet of Things, and advanced data analytics), but it's also a technology whose relevance will increase with the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning. Instead of rules-based machine vision (such as monitoring a product assembly line for a known defect), AI-infused machine vision can learn from masses of data and examples fed into it, and even learn to recognize defects that product engineers didn't previously understand. With the underlying growth in the adoption of machine vision (with AI as an additional driver) and a return to cyclical growth in its key end markets (automakers and consumer electronics can't avoid developing new products forever), Cognex is positioned to achieve management's aim of 10% to 11% annual organic growth through the cycle. Hexcel's near-term challenges and long-term opportunities Selling advanced graphite composite materials to Boeing, Airbus, and their subcontractors presents a promising business opportunity, considering both companies' substantial backlogs of aircraft slated for delivery over the next decade (8,754 for Airbus, and over 5,900 for Boeing). In addition, Hexcel also supplies materials for the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) market (it's partnering with Archer Aviation), also sells to Embraer, and as CEO Tom Gentile noted on the recent earnings call, "the modern large cabin business jets now have extensive composite content, with ship set value between $200,000 and $500,000 per shipset." Underpinning all of this is the positive trend in usage of composite materials, which increases with every new generation of aircraft, notably on wide-bodies such as the Airbus A350, which has a shipset of value of $4.5 million to $5 million for Hexcel. The long-term outlook is excellent, but in the near term, Hexcel catches a cold when Airbus and Boeing start sneezing over supply chain issues that lower their production ramps. Still, it's undoubtedly a question of when, not if, the commercial aircraft production ramp gets back on track, and there are already some very positive signs that supply chain issues with engines are being overcome. As such, investing in Hexcel could set you up for life. Don't count out Tesla Tesla's electric vehicle (EV) sales have declined this year, and CEO Elon Musk openly acknowledges the company could face a few rough quarters, not least due to the removal of EV tax credits. A combination of rivals releasing EVs and trying to establish market share, and ongoing relatively high interest rates, has pressured sales of Tesla's Model Y in particular. At the same time, and on a more positive note, Tesla has begun its robotaxi rollout, and the key to the investment case for the stock is the potential growth in its robotaxi and unsupervised full self-driving (FSD) businesses. As previously discussed, it's not just the massive potential in the robotaxi business in itself; a successful rollout and the future release of unsupervised FSD to the public will add significant value to Tesla's EVs. All the major automakers have either invested heavily in or explored robotaxis, and the reality is that Tesla remains best placed to succeed, provided it gets widespread regulatory approval. No other automaker has anything close to its market share in EVs in the U.S. It's far from clear when, and if ever, rivals like Alphabet's Waymo will be profitable, and Tesla's fleet of vehicles continues to rack up vast amounts of data to help improve its FSD. As the rollout expands, and Tesla potentially deals with its flagging Model Y sales by releasing an affordable Model Y as planned in the fourth quarter, its stock price can appreciate through 2025. However, be aware that any significant issue with the rollout is likely to hurt the stock. Tesla is risky, but the risk comes with a potential reward in this case. Don't miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late. And the numbers speak for themselves: Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you'd have $473,820!* Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $43,540!* Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $653,427!* Right now, we're issuing 'Double Down' alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join Stock Advisor, and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.
