SJIJ - Northwest Natural: The Market Is Overlooking This 4% Yielder

• Natural gas utilities are frequently overlooked by the market in favor of electric ones, allowing the natural gas ones to have much higher dividend yields.
• NWN is primarily a natural gas utility operating in the Pacific Northwest, which is a fairly rapidly growing area of the nation.
• The company is focusing a great deal of effort on improving the sustainability of its operations.
• The 4.12% dividend is easily sustainable but the company's lack of dividend growth is rather discouraging.
• The stock is richly valued relative to its peers.
