In this article, I’ll be looking at some water stocks with dividends. These stocks don’t have the highest dividends in the market, but they offer among the highest payouts in the sector. Aside from water stocks’ dividends, however, there are several reasons to consider investing in the sector. To begin with, water is a commodity that will always be needed. This is particularly true because water crises are emerging in several countries, including the United States. In several Western states, a multi-year drought may necessitate government restricting water use by up to 25%. And like many commodity stocks, a key reason to invest in water stocks is their reliable dividends. In volatile markets, it’s always a good idea to invest in companies that pay you to own their stocks. And then, there’s the current “risk-off” environment. In light of all of these factors, you can see why water stocks with dividends are in a sweet spot between growth and value. Many of these stocks are outperforming the market simply because of the laws of supply and demand.
Water is one of the world’s most widely used and coveted resources. Similar to other commodities like gold and oil, water assets can significantly diversify any portfolio. Accordingly, the search for the best water funds investors can buy, to provide diversified exposure to this space, is a worthwhile quest Of course, with commodities on a tear, many water funds have done quite well of late. Supply chain constraints have led to situations where utilities and other safe-haven assets have gotten bid up. Interestingly, this has happened while interest rates have risen. That’s not normally the case, since many such assets are viewed as substitutes for bonds. And with bond yields now actually providing investors with some meaningful returns, the question is whether the rally of utilities and their peers can continue. There aren’t many exchange traded funds (ETFs) that provide direct exposure to the water sector, so finding a good fund can be difficult. For investors seeking stable, long-term total returns, however, I think there are a few opportunities to consider.
Water consumption is totally uncorrelated to the underlying market conditions. Even during the deepest recession, people won''t limit their water consumption patterns. Two companies that can benefit from this are American Water Works Company (NYSE: AWK) & California Water Service Group (NYSE: CWT). Being the highest-valued water utility in the United States, with a market cap of $27.7 billion, AWK offers an exceptional moat. Likewise, CWT is the dominant player in California, also distinguishing itself from its industry peers. The industry offers another advantageous characteristic. Due to it being highly regulated and capital intensive, there is essentially no competition for the existing players in the market. It''s a secured oligopoly.
Of the 65 components in the top 3 Dow Jones indexes, all were trading lower in the wake of disappointing consumer inflation data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average , which is down 730 points, or 2.3%, was seeing all 30 components lose ground, led by the 3.8% drop in Nike Inc.''s stock and the 3.7% fall in Dow Inc. shares. And all 20 members of the Dow Jones Transportation Average were falling, led by the 3.5% selloffs in shares of both JetBlue Airways Corp. and Ryder System Inc. , as the Dow transports sank 2.1%. For the Dow Jones Utilities Average , which slid 1.1%, the biggest decliner was American Water Works Co.''s stock , which was down 1.8%.

While no one can truly predict a catastrophic equities sector downturn, it’s nevertheless a wise idea to strategize certain investments that can survive a stock market crash. Primarily, all eyes center on the Federal Reserve. Recently, in a question-and-answer session hosted by the Cato Institute, Fed chair Jerome Powell committed to raising interest rates until inflation gets under control. Further, Powell’s remarks echoed his policy speech at the annual economic symposium at Jackson Hole, Wyoming. At the time, the head of the central bank acknowledged that raising rates would cause “some pain.” However, he also cautioned that not addressing inflation could lead to substantial long-term damage. Unfortunately, Wall Street didn’t want to hear this disclosure at the time. Again, no one can predict such a calamity with 100% accuracy and with regularity. However, the backdrop lends some credence to a stock market crash. Mainly, efforts to curb inflation through raising rates will lead to the dollar increasing in relative value.
