At $42.42 per share as of writing, Vermilion Energy offers a dividend yield of 6.5%, and it can trade beyond $55 for +30% upside potential. Vermilion Energy offers a relatively safe dividend in the oil patch, which is evidenced by the fact that it has maintained or increased its dividend since 2003 — that is, even throughout the last recession. Investor takeaway The ups and downs of energy stocks offer low-risk opportunities to buy quality stocks, such as TORC and Vermilion Energy on dips for juicy dividend yields. I believe that now is an excellent opportunity to buy these stocks on dips for double-digit upside. Meanwhile, shareholders receive big dividend yields while they wait for price appreciation.
