Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD)

The two yields above are different measurements and are not interchangeable. The forward yield annualises the last regular payment; the trailing 12-month yield counts the cash actually paid over the last 365 days. Neither is an interest rate, a bond's yield to maturity or an index effective yield, and none of those may be compared with these as like for like. See how we compute these numbers.
Our stored payment history for EPD begins in 1998. The run of increases above ends inside that history rather than at its edge, so the figure is measured within what we hold and is not a floor. A streak is counted on the split-adjusted payment, so a share split does not read as a cut.
A yield is just a payment divided by a price, so it moves every day even when the payment does not. The forward number is an estimate of the next twelve months; the trailing number is what was actually paid over the last twelve. Ex-date is the cut-off: own the shares before it and the next payment is yours, buy on or after it and the seller keeps it.
What EPD is
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. delivers essential midstream energy services, connecting both producers and consumers of diverse commodities such as natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil, petrochemicals, and refined products. Its operations are structured across four distinct business segments: NGL Pipelines & Services, Crude Oil Pipelines & Services, Natural Gas Pipelines & Services, and Petrochemical & Refined Products Services. The NGL Pipelines & Services division focuses on natural gas processing and associated NGL marketing. This segment oversees 19 natural gas processing facilities situated across Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Texas, and Wyoming. Furthermore, it manages an extensive network of NGL pipelines, fractionation plants, storage sites for NGLs and related products, and NGL marine export/import terminals. Within the Crude Oil Pipelines & Services segment, the company manages crude oil pipelines, along with storage and marine terminals. A notable asset in this segment is its fleet of 255 tractor-trailer tank trucks, crucial for crude oil transportation. It also actively participates in crude oil marketing. The Natural Gas Pipelines & Services segment is dedicated to the gathering, treatment, and transmission of natural gas through its pipeline systems. This includes leasing underground salt dome natural gas storage facilities in Napoleonville, Louisiana, and owning a similar underground salt dome storage cavern in Wharton County, Texas. Natural gas marketing also forms part of its activities. Finally, the Petrochemical & Refined Products Services segment handles propylene fractionation and related marketing efforts. Its capabilities extend to butane isomerization complexes and associated deisobutanizer operations, as well as facilities for octane enhancement and the production of high-purity isobutylene. This segment additionally operates refined products pipelines and terminals, and ethylene export terminals, complementi
EPD 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.
Payment history
Each row is one payment as recorded by our data provider, newest first. The final column compares it with the nearest payment about a year earlier.
The table lists the 24 most recent recorded distributions for EPD, newest first, with ex-dates running from Oct 29, 2020 to Jul 31, 2026. The latest is $0.5600 per share in USD, ex-date Jul 31, 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.
How to read this table: one row is one payment, newest at the top, and the amount is what a single share received on that one date. It is not an annual figure — the yearly ones are in the tiles above and in the totals further down. A row marked Special is a one-off the issuer chose to make rather than part of the regular schedule, which is why it is left out of the year-on-year comparison and out of those yearly totals. Whether the amount repeats for several rows or moves every time is a fact about the structure rather than a sign of health: a company usually resets its dividend once a year, while a fund's distribution can change with every payment.

The cadence column is the tag our provider attached to that individual payment (fmp), not the security's established schedule. The two can disagree, which is why the cadence shown in the tiles above is only accepted after three consecutive payments were tagged the same way.
A blank comparison means there was no comparable payment within sixty days of the same point a year earlier — a new payer, a changed cadence, or a gap in the record. Special and one-off payments are labelled and are excluded from the comparison.
Distributions by calendar year
Calendar-year totals, bucketed by ex-dividend date: every regular distribution whose ex-dividend date fell in that year, for the last ten complete years on record. These are amounts actually paid, never a forward estimate, and they are not the issuer's own annual distribution figure.
The chart covers 10 complete calendar years for EPD, 2016 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 EPD begins in 1998. The total went from $1.59 in 2016 to $2.16 in 2025 — 36% higher. Within that span 10 years were higher than the year before and 0 lower. The three most recent years shown are 2023 $1.98, 2024 $2.08 and 2025 $2.16. 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. Every year shown holds the 4 distributions a quarterly cadence implies, so no year on this chart is short or long because a payment shifted across a year end.
Each bar, and each row underneath it, is one calendar year of regular payments added together for a single share. Read left to right and you are reading whether the payment has grown, held or been cut — a record of what was paid, never a forecast of what will be. One thing to watch for: a year here is decided by the date the payment went ex, so when that date slips across a year end one year holds an extra payment and its neighbour is one short while the payment itself never moved. Any year where that has happened is drawn as a dashed bar and marked with an asterisk, and it is the usual reason these totals differ from the annual figure the issuer itself publishes.

The eight closest master limited partnership entries by trailing 12-month yield, in the same sector. A research screen, not a recommendation.
These are not the best-paying securities of this kind, and no ranking is meant by the order. They are the ones whose trailing 12-month yield sits nearest to this one, in the same structure and usually the same sector, so that this security can be seen in company rather than on its own. Every figure here is backward-looking cash that has already been paid. A row that sits well away from the rest is a question to take to that security's own page, not an answer.

Every row in this table is on the same basis — cash actually paid per share over the last 365 days, divided by that security's last price — so the column can be read down. Forward estimates are deliberately not used here, because they exist for some securities and not others and a mixed column would invite a comparison that does not hold. A dash means no payment was recorded in the last 365 days, or no price is on file. Open a security to see both of its yields.
