Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. is a publicly traded limited partnership focused on the ownership and operation of high-quality, long-life infrastructure assets. The company operates across the utilities, transport, midstream, and data infrastructure industries, generating stable cash flows that are largely contracted or regulated. Its core business model emphasizes essential infrastructure with high barriers to entry, inflation-linked revenues, and strong free cash flow generation.
The partnership was formed in 2008 as part of Brookfield Asset Management’s infrastructure strategy, consolidating infrastructure assets previously held by Brookfield-controlled entities. Over time, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. has expanded through acquisitions, organic growth initiatives, and capital recycling, positioning itself as one of the world’s largest publicly listed infrastructure owners. Its strategic advantage lies in Brookfield’s global operating platform, access to proprietary deal flow, and long-term investment horizon.
