Alternative ways to invest in Cabot Oil & Gas

• Invest in Cabot Oil & Gas via a fund

  Buying shares in just one company can leave you more exposed to unexpected swings in the market than if you have a range of investments - a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend having a broad mix of assets and funds that hold a ready-made portfolio of at least 50 different companies' shares, on the basis that drops in the value of some will be offset by rises elsewhere.

  Cabot Oil & Gas is a major part of the NYSE index, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

  Dividend payout ratio: 98.87% of net profits

  Cabot Oil & Gas has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.88% of its share value annually.

  Cabot Oil & Gas has paid out, on average, around 98.87% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.93% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.93% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cabot Oil & Gas's case, that would currently equate to about $0.41 per share.
