Westlake Chemical Partners: 9% Yield That's Here To Stay
Westlake Chemical Partners offers a stable ~9% yield, underpinned by a fixed-margin contract and a 48-quarter unbroken distribution record. WLKP's cash flows are insulated from commodity price swings, with a cost-plus contract running through 2027 and minimal operational risk. Valuation is attractive at 13.8x forward earnings, about 10% below sector median, but growth prospects are limited and distribution raises are unlikely.
