Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ:ARLP)

Outstanding company in the coal industry. Increases its dividend every quarter, 13% revenue growth, 20% earnings growth, 13% dividend growth, can't get better than that. Payouts are more than covered by free cash flow so you are not getting part of the assets back like with other partnerships.

Alliance Resource provides coal to electric utilities for energy generation. It's arguably one of the premier dividend stocks, having raised its dividend in 25 of the past 40 quarters; it currently yields a handsome 4.5%. Alliance Resource's operating margins also handily outpace many of its rivals, including the much larger CONSOL Energy. With nuclear energy's safety coming into question, and Germany taking the lead in moving away from nuclear, coal seems like a clear-cut winner in the intermediate future. As long as Alliance Resources can keep up its torrid pace of dividend growth, shareholders could do a lot worse than this company.

Not as cheap as I would like, but management returns are outstanding (TTM and Normalized).

I have been a long term holder of ARLP. It has a nice cashflow, long term contracts, and increasing production. What is not hard to like? It pays you a nice dividend while you hold it and it has been increasing the dividend by about 8% per year. The only risk I see would be if they had a major mining accident.

I know Obama has previously said he wants to bankrupt the coal industry prior to being elected, and maybe he does... but even if you add a carbon VAT tax to the coal business, which seems to be the major fear, I believe this company will still hang in. Coal demand is expected to grow substantially, probably around 25% per year, but even if this company has 0 growth and earns $7 per share with book value of $12 per share, 10 years worth of earnings is plenty, even if you discount the earnings to present value.
Z score is good too meaning low chance of bankruptcy...
ROE,ROI,ROA is incredible meaning there likely is good management...
On the upside if there is growth and no political intervention this is an incredible opportunity here.

Positive Stock for the next few years
