  • Freehold Royalties: A 6% Monthly Dividend Energy Stock Ideal for TSFAs
    April 30, 2026, 9:15 PM EDT. Freehold Royalties (TSX:FRU) offers Canadian investors an energy stock with a unique, asset-light business model. It holds royalty rights on 7.3 million gross acres across Canada and the U.S., including prime basins like the Permian and Eagle Ford. Unlike traditional oil producers, Freehold collects royalties from companies like ExxonMobil, avoiding operational risks and costs. This generates steady cash flow, enabling a monthly dividend of $0.09 per share with a 6% annual yield. Dividends are well covered by funds from operations, even if oil prices fall to US$50 per barrel. Strong growth potential comes from ExxonMobil's expanding Permian production on overlapping lands, boosting Freehold's income without extra spending. U.S. assets yield outsized revenue due to premium pricing. Insider buying underlines confidence in Freehold's stable, income-focused strategy, making it a standout for TFSA investors seeking passive income in energy.
