Western Midstream Partners (WES) provides investors with an attractive yield of about 8% alongside above-average distribution growth, driven by aggressive acquisitions in the Permian Basin. Trading at a 10.0x EV/EBITDA multiple, WES justifies this valuation through robust EBITDA growth and a focused asset base with high potential. Despite funding acquisitions with debt, the company has reduced leverage and outpaced peers in distribution growth. The outlook remains positive, favoring WES's growth prospects over more conservative midstream partnerships.
