Wall Street interest in energy midstream stocks

Overview

Midstream energy companies have attracted significant interest on Wall Street due to strong financial performance and high dividend yields. Companies such as MPLX, which maintains a dominant position in natural gas gathering in the Permian Basin, have returned substantial capital to shareholders.

Hess Midstream Partners LP has specifically drawn attention for its history of dividend increases. By late August, the company reported a dividend yield of approximately 7.8%, with recent payouts significantly higher than previous years. This growth has coincided with heavy institutional involvement, with firms including Goldman Sachs, Invesco Ltd., and Jupiter Topco LLC adjusting or acquiring positions. Institutional investors and hedge funds currently hold approximately 98.97% of the stock.

As of September 2026, the sector continues to offer opportunities for income investing. MPLX LP, which manages pipelines for crude oil, refined products, and natural gas processing, provides a distribution yield of 7.2%. The company has increased its distribution for 13 consecutive years and anticipates growth in the latter half of 2026, supported by expansions to its pipelines and facilities. Additionally, Energy Transfer LP remains a notable player in the space, operating approximately 140,000 miles of pipelines and maintaining assets across all major U.S. producing basins.
