Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 6% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 3, 2025
Hess Midstream looks like a steady, lower-drama pick. Recent company updates were positive, plus a $100M plan to buy back units and expected volumes tied to Guyana help make future cash flows easier to see. The price had been weak but is starting to firm up, with the recent average price turning higher and lots more people buying than usual. Main near-term risks: higher interest rates lowering income appeal, and any project delays.
Primary drivers
- Improved outlook and a $100M buyback show confidence and support the price.
- Fee-based contracts make future volumes and cash flows more predictable.
- Price weakness appears to be easing as trends stabilize and buyers return.
- Rising rates could dull income appeal compared with other options.
