At first glance, MPLX seems like a boring business, but this is far from the truth. The company is currently undergoing a transformation into an "energy provider" for the future. The signing of the first major contracts for energy supply to data centers creates the potential for realizing new projects. Considering MPLX's superiority compared to other Midstream competitors, I assign the units a "Buy" rating.
MPLX LP is rated a Strong Buy, supported by robust distribution growth, a 7.71% yield, and a resilient business model. MPLX's partnership with Marathon Petroleum ensures stable, long-term revenue streams, with about 58% of pipeline and 69% of terminal throughput contracted. Both crude oil and natural gas segments show rising margins and operational stability, with forward EBITDA projected to grow from $3.9B to $5.2B by 2030.
MPLX units surged 20% recently, outperforming XLE and SPY on a total return basis. Strong Q3 earnings, growing distributions, and capital deployment support long-term income and growth potential. Technical breakout, bullish golden cross, and high volume support suggest further upside toward the $62 target.

MPLX offers a high yield and growth combination that is well suited for long-term investors. Recent share price stagnation discounts the long-term viability of midstream assets and assumes there is no growth potential in the Permian. I debunk the “peak oil” implications of the Permian as well as dive into the importance of the Northwind acquisition.
