Phillips 66 Partners Rewards Investors With Distribution Hike

Phillips 66 Partners LP PSXP recently announced an approval from the board of directors to increase quarterly cash distribution.

The third-quarter 2019 cash distribution has been recorded at 86.5 cents per common unit, reflecting a sequential increase of 1.2% and a year-over-year hike of 9%. The increased distribution is likely be paid on Nov 13, to unitholders of record as of Oct 31.

With the latest hike, the partnership has managed to raise distributions for 24 quarters in a row since the initial public offering in 2013. This reflects Phillips 66 Partners’ diversified and stable business model, generating steady fee-based revenues. The partnership’s diversified midstream assets comprise pipeline networks that transport crude oil, refined petroleum products and natural gas liquids.

Importantly, Phillips 66 Partners is well placed to continue to hike quarterly distributions since it has a solid backlog of organic midstream growth projects.
