As you say, I think the company is repositioning itself given the current situation in the energy sector.

What impresses me is the dividend payment history (more than 100 years!) even though there were freezes and a cut here and there in the past.

UNP is a great company, one that we own in our family's dividend stocks portfolio. Its hard not to like a company with a 9-year steak of dividend increases, and one that Buffett has in his portfolio!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the buy.

Although the recent dividend growth is amazing, I don't expect that to continue. However, UNP has been a dividend payer for more than a century! So I think its a great dividend paying stock to own. My preferred yield is 2.5% or higher, so I'm a little below that right now -- hoping to get it about 2.5% quickly with dividend growth. <br /><br />Cheers<br />FerdiSFerdiShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008021146951839361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-54896524757677117502016-03-21T08:52:11.623-07:002016-03-21T08:52:11.623-07:00Divgro,

They seem like a very well put together company and their dividend growth is awesome. Their yield is just right under what I generally like to load my portfolio with. I've got to keep my eye on getting my portfolio to a 4% average across the board before I load in on anything else under it. That being said, I think you've got a solid company that will eventually breach my threshold! <br /><br />-Dividend ReaperDividend Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13803440472612028566noreply@blogger.com
