How AMLP's dividend compares
Across the 1000 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.57%. AMLP's 7.87% is 4.30 percentage points above that median, ranking 291st of 1000 by yield.
Within Energy, where we track 75 names, the median yield is 5.22% — putting AMLP above its sector. A yield well above the sector norm is worth a second look: it can signal a depressed share price rather than a generous payout.
Its 4-year run of dividend increases ranks 254th out of the 553 names in our data with an active growth streak.
What the numbers mean
Like most US dividend payers, AMLP distributes quarterly, so a full year of ownership produces four payments.
Whether these payments are taxed at the lower qualified rate or as ordinary income depends on how long you hold the shares and what kind of company pays them. See the qualified vs. ordinary dividend rules.
