MPLX upgraded to Strong Buy with 8.7% yield after distribution hike and price dip.

MPLX has been upgraded to a Strong Buy as its yield increased to 8.7% following a 12.5% rise in distributions and a 6% decline in price. The company's distributable cash flow grew nearly 5% year-over-year, with per-unit growth at 12.5% due to buybacks, and distribution coverage remains strong at 1.3 times. MPLX plans nearly $3 billion in organic growth capital expenditures by 2026, supporting continued double-digit distribution growth through 2027 to 2030. Although its valuation is above historical averages, it is justified by the high yield, solid coverage, and visible growth prospects. The main risk to watch is the renewal of the Marathon Petroleum contract in 2028.

MPLX offers a high dividend yield close to the article's figure, with 8.53% on Pluang. Its price is stable, up slightly by 0.05% to USD 56.80 as of Nov 12, 2026 20:21 WIB.
