COP has not raised their dividend on time. They have a funding gap between dividends and capital growth. They have been selling off assets and rearranging their business which creates an air of uncertainty for me.

I'm not sure they are going to raise the dividend this year and if I were them, I'd focus on the capital growth as well. That doesn't do me any good as a dividend growth investor though.

I think COP will do okay over the longer term, and some are willing to be paid 4.5% (the dividend) to wait. In my case, I can get 4.5% elsewhere and still grow the dividend while I wait.

I will look to replace COP in the coming week and it doesn't have to be in energy. MO is a consideration. Higher yield and still growing the dividend. I haven't decided yet.

I can always come back to COP when they start increasing the dividend again, but for now, dividend growth means dividend growth and COP isn't coming through for now.
