Oil Price Volatility: 5 Midstream MLPs Offer Stability and High Yields

Oil prices have surged in 2026, but investors are on high alert for potential fluctuations. In the event of an oil price reversal, some energy stocks could suffer significant losses. However, a group of under-the-radar midstream master limited partnerships (MLPs) may offer a safer and more stable way to maintain energy exposure.

These MLPs operate in the 'midstream' sector, which includes processing, transporting, and storing crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Unlike upstream or downstream sectors, their revenue is less susceptible to spot benchmark pricing moves due to long-term contracts.

We've identified five high-yielding energy MLPs with a Buy rating from top Wall Street firms, offering dependable dividends and potential for growth. These companies include Enbridge (NYSE:ENB), Energy Transfer (NYSE:ET), MPLX (NYSE:MPLX), Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA), and Western Midstream Partners.
