Hess Midstream LP (HESM)

Hess Midstream LP specializes in the ownership, development, operation, and acquisition of energy infrastructure assets positioned midstream in the value chain. The company organizes its business activities into three distinct operational segments: Gathering, Processing and Storage, and Terminaling and Export. The Gathering segment manages systems for the collection and compression of natural gas, the transportation of crude oil, and the disposal of produced water. This extensive network comprises approximately 1,350 miles of pipelines designed for both high and low-pressure natural gas and natural gas liquids, with a daily capacity of about 450 million cubic feet. Additionally, it features around 550 miles of crude oil gathering pipelines. Within the Processing and Storage segment, key assets include the Tioga Gas Plant, located in Tioga, North Dakota, which performs natural gas processing and fractionation. The company also holds a 50% ownership interest in the Little Missouri 4 gas processing plant, situated in McKenzie County, North Dakota, south of the Missouri River. Furthermore, this segment oversees the Mentor Storage Terminal in Mentor, Minnesota, a facility encompassing a propane storage cavern and capabilities for rail and truck loading and unloading. The Terminaling and Export division encompasses the Ramberg terminal facility, the Tioga rail terminal, and a fleet of crude oil rail cars. It also operates the Johnson's Corner Header System, which is a network of crude oil pipelines. Hess Midstream LP was founded in 2014 and maintains its principal offices in Houston, Texas.

HESM is a master limited partnership. You hold units, not shares, and you are a limited partner rather than a shareholder. The partnership pays no entity-level tax; it passes income and deductions through to unitholders, who receive a Schedule K-1 each year instead of a 1099.

A large part of a typical MLP distribution is treated as return of capital that lowers your cost basis and is recaptured when you sell. K-1s arrive late, can require state filings, and units held inside a retirement account can generate unrelated business taxable income. Read how MLPs work.

Figures on this page are computed by Income Investing from the payment history and last price stored in our own database; the payment records come from fmp and the price from fmp, last recomputed Aug 25, 2026. They describe what has been paid, not what will be paid. Yield, payout ratio, our data sources and our methodology are explained elsewhere on the site.

The table lists the 24 most recent recorded distributions for HESM, newest first, with ex-dates running from Nov 04, 2020 to Aug 06, 2026. The latest is $0.7888 per share in USD, ex-date Aug 06, 2026, pay date Aug 14, 2026. Measured against the nearest payment about a year earlier, 24 are higher, 0 lower and 0 unchanged; the remaining 0 have no comparable payment in the record. None is flagged as a special or one-off payment. Payment records supplied by fmp.

The chart covers 9 complete calendar years for HESM, 2017 to 2025, per share, in USD. Each bar totals the regular distributions with an ex-dividend date in that calendar year. The year is assigned by ex-dividend date, which is not necessarily the issuer's own distribution year. Our stored payment history for HESM begins in 2017. The total went from $0.5810 in 2017 to $2.90 in 2025 — 400% higher. Within that span 8 years were higher than the year before and 0 lower. The three most recent years shown are 2023 $2.37, 2024 $2.64 and 2025 $2.90. The current year is still in progress and is left out, and special or one-off payments are excluded. This is a record of what was paid, not a projection. 1 of the years shown does not hold the 4 distributions the recorded cadence implies: 2017 (2 payments). Those years are marked on the chart and named in the table. A year with one more or one fewer payment than the cadence implies is usually a payment whose ex-dividend date moved across a year end rather than a change in the payment itself: the payment lands in the neighbouring calendar year, so one year reads high and the next reads low while the rate never moved. The change-on-the-year-before column carries the same distortion, because it compares two totals rather than two payment rates. 2017 is the first year of payments we hold for HESM, so it is short because our record starts there, not because anything moved. These totals are arithmetically right for what they measure — regular distributions bucketed by ex-dividend date — but they are not the annual distribution the issuer reports for that year, and where the two disagree the issuer's own published distribution history is the authority.
