Looking to Generate $1,000 in Passive Income Per Year? Consider Investing $7,500 Into Each of These 3 Dividend-Paying Energy Stocks.
Key Points ExxonMobil is an oil supermajor that has strong growth prospects on the horizon, thanks to its robust portfolio. Chevron is well-positioned to deliver on shareholder expectations for steady dividend growth. This LNG exporter could be a beneficiary of a recent major trade deal. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Energy is one of the highest-yielding stock-market sectors. Many oil and gas companies pass along a considerable amount of their profits to shareholders through dividends, which can help offset the inherent volatility of energy markets. However, a dividend is only as reliable as the company paying it, so it's best to focus on dividend quality over dividend quantity. ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), and Cheniere Energy Partners (NYSE: CQP) are unique in that they offer high dividend yields and reliable payouts. By investing $7,500 into each stock, you can expect to generate at least $1,000 in passive income per year. Here's why all three dividend stocks are worth buying now. For passive income, look to the oil patch and pick up shares of ExxonMobil Scott Levine (ExxonMobil): While it's critical to keep your eyes on the future when evaluating potential stock buys, it's also worthwhile to dig into a company's previous performance. In doing so with ExxonMobil, it's readily apparent that the company has created a culture supportive of consistently rewarding shareholders -- a valuable quality for those looking for a long-term dividend opportunity. For this and other reasons, now's a great time for investors to grease the wheels of their passive-income machines with ExxonMobil and its 3.6% forward-yielding dividend. For 42 consecutive years, ExxonMobil has hiked its dividend higher -- and I'm not talking about nominal increases. From 1982 to 2024, ExxonMobil has boosted its payout at a near 6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Of course, there's no certainty that ExxonMobil will continue to maintain the same cadence with dividend hikes, but the company's strong growth prospects suggest that it's well-positioned to extend the trend of dividend hikes. In 2024, ExxonMobil reported $55 million in cash flow from operations. Management projects that expanding liquid natural gas (LNG) production, as well as oil production from assets in the Permian basin and Guyana, along with a projected $6 billion in cost reductions have the potential to help the company grow operational cash flow by about $30 billion by 2030. For those interested in placing ExxonMobil on their watch lists, it's important to recognize that the company is subject to ups and downs stemming from energy prices, so investors must be comfortable with enduring potential volatility. But with ExxonMobil's five-year average payout ratio of 77.4%, management has proven that it's adept at balancing the company's financial health with rewarding shareholders. Chevron's upstream portfolio just got a massive jolt Daniel Foelber (Chevron): Chevron's acquisition of Hess boosts the integrated oil major's exposure to U.S. onshore assets and gives it a stake in a consortium that's developing Guyana's rich offshore reserves. It's a deal that will significantly boost Chevron's free cash flow and, in turn, provide a runway for earnings and dividend growth and stock repurchases. However, a lot has changed since Chevron announced its intent to buy Hess in October 2023. Brent crude oil prices (the international benchmark) have fallen from the mid-$90 per-barrel range to the low $70 per-barrel range. Meanwhile, Chevron's stock price has also ticked down despite what's been a rapid run-up in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). As you can see in the following chart, Chevron's earnings have also been falling in lockstep with lower oil prices. If Chevron had been able to acquire Hess in today's market, it might have been able to pay a more attractive price. However, the deal should still pay off in the long run. For starters, Chevron has the balance sheet and free cash flow to make it work. In recent years, it reduced its leverage and ramped up buybacks -- with plenty of cash left over to continue boosting its dividend. Hess offers Chevron a way to diversify its production portfolio. Like its peer ExxonMobil, Chevron has been growing production in the largest onshore oil and gas field in the U.S. -- the Permian Basin. However, it has also been investing in U.S. offshore production, international production in Kazakhstan, West Africa, and the Eastern Mediterranean, and LNG in Australia. Guyana has geological conditions and rich reserves that should provide a low development-cost profile, increasing the overall quality of Chevron's portfolio. In fact, ExxonMobil (which holds a 45% stake in the Guyana consortium, compared to a 30% stake for Chevron) has identified Guyana as one of its best long-term assets, along with the Permian Basin and LNG. All told, the Hess deal should help Chevron accelerate its earnings growth without impacting its ability to increase its dividend steadily. Chevron sports a 38-year streak of raising its dividend. The stock yields 4.5% at the time of this writing, which is sizable, relative to the mere 1.2% yield of the S&P 500. Chevron is also a great value, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 17.9. However, it's worth understanding that this metric is based on Chevron's trailing-12-month earnings -- which coincided with fairly mediocre oil and gas prices and a challenging refining operating environment. Chevron could look even cheaper if prices recover and it benefits from the added production from Hess. All told, Chevron stands out as a compelling high-yield dividend stock to buy now. A high-yield stock favored by current events Lee Samaha (Cheniere Energy Partners): The recent trade deal between the European Union (E.U.) and the United States included an agreement for the E.U. to acquire $750 billion in energy exports through 2028. That's excellent news for LNG exporters like Cheniere Energy Partners. The company owns and operates liquefaction facilities (where natural gas is converted into LNG) and the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal in Louisiana. Its major customers include power companies as far away as India and South Korea, as well as European customers. As such, it's likely to be a key player in an export-led push by the current administration to sell U.S. energy across the globe. The importation of U.S. LNG will facilitate the phasing out or reduction of LNG volumes imported to the E.U. from Russia. Given current geopolitical affairs, this trend is likely to gain momentum. In addition, Cheniere tends to work on long-term counterparty arrangements with fixed fees that produce stable cash flow. Once a customer is on board, they tend to generate a stream of long-term income. Putting all these factors together, Cheniere Energy Partners and its 5.8% dividend yield are a good option for investors seeking passive income.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. ('Cheniere Partners') (NYSE: CQP) today announced its financial results for second quarter 2025. HIGHLIGHTS During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, Cheniere Partners generated revenues of $2.5 billion and $5.4 billion, net income of $553 million and $1.2 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $0.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. With respect to the second quarter of 2025, Cheniere Partners declared a cash distribution of $0.820 per common unit to unitholders of record as of August 8, 2025, comprised of a base amount equal to $0.775 and a variable amount equal to $0.045. The common unit distribution and the related general partner distribution will be paid on August 14, 2025. Reconfirming full year 2025 distribution guidance of $3.25 - $3.35 per common unit, maintaining a base distribution of $3.10 per common unit. In June 2025, certain subsidiaries of Cheniere Partners updated the SPL Expansion Project's (defined below) application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ('FERC') to reflect a two-phased project, inclusive of three liquefaction trains and supporting infrastructure, maintaining an expected total peak production capacity of up to approximately 20 million tonnes per annum ('mtpa') of liquefied natural gas ('LNG'), inclusive of estimated debottlenecking opportunities. In July 2025, Cheniere Partners produced and loaded its 3,000 th LNG cargo since commencing export operations at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal in February 2016. 2025 FULL YEAR DISTRIBUTION GUIDANCE 2025 Distribution per Unit $ 3.25 - $ 3.35 Expand SUMMARY AND REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS As compared to the corresponding 2024 periods, net income decreased approximately $17 million and $58 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, while Adjusted EBITDA 1 decreased by approximately $106 million and $68 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The decreases for both periods were primarily attributable to planned maintenance activities during the three months ended June 30, 2025 resulting in higher operating expenses and lower volumes recognized in income during the period. The decreases were partially offset by higher gross margins per MMBtu of LNG delivered during the 2025 periods as compared to the corresponding 2024 periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized in income 351 and 756 TBtu, respectively, of LNG loaded from the SPL Project (defined below). Capital Resources The table below provides a summary of our available liquidity (in millions) as of June 30, 2025: Recent Key Financial Transactions and Updates In July 2025, we issued $1.0 billion of aggregate principal amount of 5.550% Senior Notes due 2035, and the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem $1.0 billion of the aggregate principal amount of SPL's 5.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2026. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, SPL repaid the remaining $300 million in principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 with cash on hand. SABINE PASS OVERVIEW We own natural gas liquefaction facilities with total production capacity of over 30 mtpa of LNG at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana (the 'SPL Project'). As of August 1, 2025, approximately 3,030 cumulative LNG cargoes totaling approximately 210 million tonnes of LNG have been produced, loaded, and exported from the SPL Project. SPL Expansion Project We are developing an expansion adjacent to the SPL Project with an expected total peak production capacity of up to approximately 20 mtpa of LNG (the 'SPL Expansion Project'), inclusive of estimated debottlenecking opportunities. In February 2024, certain of our subsidiaries submitted an application to the FERC for authorization to site, construct and operate the SPL Expansion Project, as well as an application to the Department of Energy ('DOE') requesting authorization to export LNG to Free-Trade Agreement ('FTA') and non-FTA countries, both of which applications exclude debottlenecking. In October 2024, we received authorization from the DOE to export LNG to FTA countries. In June 2025, the SPL Expansion Project's FERC application was updated to reflect a two-phased project, inclusive of three liquefaction trains and supporting infrastructure, maintaining an expected total peak production capacity of up to approximately 20 mtpa of LNG. DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS In July 2025, we declared a cash distribution of $0.820 per common unit to unitholders of record as of August 8, 2025, comprised of a base amount equal to $0.775 ($3.10 annualized) and a variable amount equal to $0.045, which takes into consideration, among other things, amounts reserved for annual debt repayment and capital allocation goals, anticipated capital expenditures to be funded with cash, and cash reserves to provide for the proper conduct of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides relevant and useful information to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating the effectiveness of our operating performance in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of financial and operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking net income before interest expense, net of capitalized interest, depreciation and amortization, and adjusting for the effects of certain non-cash items, other non-operating income or expense items and other items not otherwise predictive or indicative of ongoing operating performance, including the effects of modification or extinguishment of debt, impairment expense, gain or loss on disposal of assets, and changes in the fair value of our commodity derivatives prior to contractual delivery or termination. The change in fair value of commodity derivatives is considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given that the timing of recognizing gains and losses on these derivative contracts differs from the recognition of the related item economically hedged. We believe the exclusion of these items enables investors and other users of our financial information to assess our sequential and year-over-year performance and operating trends on a more comparable basis and is consistent with management's own evaluation of performance.

Cheniere Energy Partners sets price for $1bn senior notes due in 2035
Cheniere Energy Partners has announced the pricing of its senior notes due in 2035, known as the CQP 2035 Notes. These notes will carry an interest rate of 5.550% per annum and are set to mature on 30 October 2035. The CQP 2035 Notes are being issued at 99.731% of their par value. The company expects the closing of this offering to take place on 10 July 2025. Cheniere Partners has outlined its intention to use the proceeds from this offering to support its subsidiary Sabine Pass Liquefaction. Specifically, the funds will be allocated to redeem a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Sabine Pass Liquefaction's senior secured notes due in 2026, referred to as the SPL 2026 Notes. Sabine Pass Liquefaction has a liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity of approximately 30 million tonnes per annum. Since commencing operations, the facility has produced more than 2,930 LNG cargoes with six trains. Positioned less than four nautical miles from the Gulf of Mexico, the facility offers easy vessel access and departure. Additionally, it is well-connected with various interstate and intrastate pipelines, ensuring a reliable and varied supply of natural gas. The newly priced CQP 2035 Notes will be on an equal footing in terms of payment rights with existing senior notes at Cheniere Partners. This includes the senior notes due in the years 2029, 2031, 2032, 2033 and 2034. Earlier this week, Cheniere Energy announced a positive final investment decision for the expansion of the Corpus Christi LNG facility in San Patricio County, Texas, US.

Why Cheniere Energy Partners (CQP) Gained This Week?
We recently compiled a list of the Energy Stocks that Are Gaining This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:CQP) stands against the other energy stocks. After significantly trailing behind in 2024, the energy sector now finds itself outperforming the general market so far this year. Despite the sharp market decline on Thursday, April 3, the broader energy sector has gained over 1.3% since the beginning of 2025, against declines of more than 7% by the wider market. The energy industry has braced itself for a tidal wave of change with Donald Trump back in the Oval Office since the President has expressed a strong commitment to reviving fossil fuels, reversing climate policies, and assuring America's energy security. One sector that is already booming is that of natural gas. The benchmark US natural gas price at Henry Hub has surged by over 147% over the last year, thanks to slowing output in 2024, booming LNG exports, and fast-depleting inventories during the coldest winter in six years. Moreover, the ongoing AI boom and the accompanying data centers are also set to significantly increase the country's energy demand, for which natural gas is a leading contender. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects the US gas demand to reach record highs this year and next, forecasting the country's gas output to surge to 105.2 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2025, up from 103.2 bcfd last year and a record 103.6 bcfd in 2023.
