We also have MPLX stock, which is one of the new additions to my investment portfolio over the past year, and it has risen by 20.5%. When I added this stock to my portfolio, its yield was around 8.5%, which is a very high yield, but management has already raised dividends by more than 12%, and announced that it will continue to do so for the next year or so.

and MPLX is third, and is on its way to becoming second soon.
Then I have MPLX, which has a $20,000 stake. You'll notice it's one of the smallest holdings in this account, but it's one of the largest dividend-paying companies. I achieved a total return of 32%.
This stock was purchased in 2025, during the same period in which I was buying HTSM stock.
we have MLX, SPGI, and then we have Mastercard. MPLX has done really, really well. It's up 24.5%. MLX is a somewhat rare addition to my portfolio because it's a very high yielding stock.
In fact, the indicated yield as of right now sitting roughly 7.3%, but when I added it to my portfolio, it was closer to about 8.5%. In fact, if we just jump over to my dividend dashboard, go ahead and cheat and look at my yield on cost on this position, you can see it's sitting at about 8.53%.
So, the recent run up in share price has caused the starting yield to go down. But again, when I added, it was yielding 8.5%.
MPLX 24.5,
MPLX yielding around 7.3,
And MPLX has just seen ridiculous growth. Over the last year it's about 12.5% and management is guiding towards that growth rate for around another year or two. It's really impressive what they're able to pull off as an already high-yielding MLP.
And then my most recent addition in the high yield space was MPLX, which I added it just this year and I'm already up 25.38%. Now, when you're analyzing the high yield space, you have to be careful because the way we analyze a lot of alternative high yield asset classes is a little bit unique.
And in the case of MPLX, this isn't MLP. So, naturally we need to look at how much distributable cash flow per share they're producing relative to how much they're generating in dividends.
And what we can see is distributable cash flow per share is easily covering those dividend payments. And here's what's really impressive. They just released their latest quarter's earnings report, and management is guiding towards 12.5% dividend growth over the next couple of years.
So, we're talking about a position that's yielding over 7% as of right now, and it's going to see double-digit dividend growth over the next couple of years. That's an incredible combination of yield as well as dividend growth.
