HESM is a high-quality long-term holding due to its rare combination of high yield (7.84%) and strong dividend growth (9.36%).

The next dividend I received was even larger . That was from the company "Hess Midstream", whose code is "HESM". You paid me $2,009. This is the largest dividend distribution I have ever received by a considerable margin.

This is also an oil and gas pipeline company, but it is unique in terms of its corporate structure; You do n't need a K-1 model for it. If you live in the United States, it will appear on your Form 1099-DIV .

But the story here is similar. The expected return is 7.84%. They have been increasing their dividend payouts every quarter. Over the past five years, distributions have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 9.36%.

It is rare to find such a high return with such large growth in distributions. Therefore, HESM is the highest paying distribution in my portfolio,

In 2025, I bought a large quantity of shares of "Hess Midstream" , whose symbol is HESM. It is worth $104,000. I have a total return of 27.71% on that, a large part of which is due to the reinvestment of dividends.

As you can see, I have 152 shares of the dividend reinvestment program. This is a result of reinvesting dividends, which increases future dividend income, allowing me to buy more shares.

This is the snowball effect of dividends in action.

Regarding distribution income, I consider HTSM and MPLX to be two key pillars that I am building for the long term. But I am still young, so I am not necessarily obliged to improve the current dividend income at the moment .

I am focused on building a " cumulative returns machine" and long-term total return. That's why I have a lot of growth stocks here as well. Both HTSM and MPLX are dividend-paying growth stocks.

I believe you can get a very good return by reinvesting dividends in them.
