The pay-TV industry can only do so much to stop customers from cutting the cord and relying on streaming services like Hulu or Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) YouTube. The top pay-TV providers lost 2.9 million customers last year, up from 1.5 million in 2017, according to a report by Leichtman Research.
Not even virtual pay-TV providers like AT&T’s (NYSE:T) DirecTV Now or Dish Network’s (NASDAQ:DISH) Sling TV could manage to offset losses from their own companies, much less the industry as a whole. DirecTV’s satellite service lost 1.2 million subscribers last year; Dish lost 1.1 million. DirecTV Now and Sling TV added 436,000 and 205,000 net subscribers, respectively. The net adds for the virtual providers are notably down nearly 1 million combined from 2017.
Here are the overarching trends investors need to consider as they look at the cord-cutting trend.

It’s only March, but NextEra Energy Partners (NYSE:NEP) has already announced transactions that will allow it to meet its growth objectives for the year. That should pique the interest of investors, especially considering shares are trading roughly 10% below last year’s peak, and at more attractive valuations than other renewable energy yieldcos.

NextEra Energy Partners (NYSE:NEP) has a bold plan to grow its already-high-yielding dividend at a 12% to 15% annual rate through 2023. That outlook makes this renewable energy stock an attractive option for income-seeking investors, especially since the company already offers an enticing 4.3%-yielding dividend. Add that to its fast-paced growth, and this stock has the potential to generate high-powered total annual returns in the 17% to 20% range in the company’s estimation.
