Master limited partnership
Hess Midstream LP (HESM)
Hess Midstream LP trades as HESM on NYSE. This page collects what it has actually paid — every recorded payment, the calendar-year totals, the forward and trailing 12-month yields side by side against the last price, and the dates already declared.

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.
The growth streak above is a floor, not a full record. Our stored payment history for HESM begins in 2017, and the run of increases reaches that first stored year, so the honest statement is that the payment rose in at least 8 consecutive complete years — the issuer's own record may be longer, and the issuer's published payment history is the authority on it.
The plus sign on the growth streak means our own payment record starts before the run of increases does, so the count is a floor rather than a total: the payment rose in at least that many consecutive complete years, and possibly in more that happened before our history begins. It is not the issuer's official record, and a longer streak published elsewhere is not a contradiction of it.
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 HESM is
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.

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.
