Top 5 US Oil and Gas Dividend Stocks in 2025

Top 5 US Oil and Gas Dividend Stocks in 2025

Major oil and gas stocks have historically offered investors high dividend yields, especially when prices are strong.

The US oil and gas market has responded surprisingly well to the continued volatility in the global markets, including ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war and economic uncertainty.

For those who prefer a long-term approach to investing, oil and gas stocks with high dividends allow for a steady flow of income and the opportunity for investors to increase their equity holdings.

A dividend is part of a company’s profits that is paid out regularly to shareholders, typically quarterly. When determining which dividend stocks are good options, there are some terms investors should know, including dividend yields, payout ratios and debt-to-equity ratios.

A dividend yield represents the dividend income per share divided by the share price. Currently, the oil and gas segment of the stock market is flush with dividend yields of over 4 percent.

A dividend’s payout ratio is the total amount of dividends paid out to shareholders relative to the company’s net income. Lastly, the debt-to-equity ratio shows how much company financing is generated from debt rather than equity.

The energy sector stocks on this list had strong dividends yields of greater than 4.9 percent as of that date, as well as debt-to-equity ratios of 0.35 and lower.
