Hess Midstream LP is transitioning from heavy infrastructure investment to maximizing cash generation and increasing shareholder returns, forming the basis for my Buy rating. HESM's fee-based business model, supported by long-term agreements and minimum volume commitments, underpins dependable cash flows and sustainable distribution growth. Management targets at least 5% annual distribution growth through 2028, alongside disciplined unit repurchases, prudent debt management, and selective acquisitions.
Hess Midstream remains a "Strong Buy," offering an 8.5% yield and at least 15% upside, despite recent underperformance and Bakken drilling headwinds. HESM's long-term contract with Chevron through 2033, with annual CPI-linked fee escalators, secures stable cash flow and mitigates near-term oil price and volume risks. Free cash flow yield stands at ~13%, supported by reduced capex, growing third-party revenues, and robust EBITDA margins of 83%.
