Mullen Group is an Alberta-based transportation and logistics company, with a market cap of $2.64 billion. It’s mainly known as a trucking company, but Mullen also provides specialized services related to the energy, mining, forestry, and construction industries in Western Canada. These include water management, fluid hauling, and environmental reclamation.
We recommended the stock in May 2023 at $15.46. The major attractions were a steady share price and a monthly dividend of $0.06 per share ($0.72 a year), which at the time generated a yield of 4.7%. In August 2024, the monthly dividend was raised to $0.07 ($0.84 a year), for a yield of 2.8% at the recent price of $29.75.
The rise in the share price reduced the yield, but those who bought at the time of our original recommendation have a capital gain of 86% to compensate.
