Dividend hungry investors are accustomed to the occasional hiccup. If
business trends slump, then the board may be forced to trim the payout a
bit. But when a company tells investors that the dividend has been cut
to zero, investors vote with their feet.
That's what happened back in November, when
Alon USA Partners LP (NYSE: ALDW), the master-limited partnership (MLP) of Alon USA Energy (NYSE:
ALJ), announced an unexpected quarterly loss and a suspension of its quarterly dividend.
Yet
a deeper look into this dividend debacle is warranted. Despite the
suspended dividend in Q4, ALDW paid out $2.76 per unit in 2013. And as
this company regains its footing, shares have robust upside, and the
future yield is likely to handily exceed 10% based on the current
lagging stock price.
