Midstream MLPs offer high single-digit yields with strong defensive characteristics, making them attractive for retirement income portfolios. The yield-to-risk ratio in MLPs is compelling, even compared to my other favorite yield plays such as BDCs, covered call, and leveraged CEFs. In the article I elaborate on two highest-yielding MLPs, which are de-risked enough to meet the durable income criteria.

Delek Logistics Partners offers a 9.27% yield and has raised its distribution every quarter for over a decade. DKL is rapidly growing, with record crude gathering and wastewater disposal volumes, but remains highly leveraged versus peers. Distribution coverage is tight at 1.23x, below the preferred margin of safety, introducing elevated risk compared to other midstream MLPs.

Investors love dividend stocks, especially those with ultra-high yields, because they provide a substantial passive income stream and offer significant total return potential.

Delek Logistics Partners LP remains resilient amid oil price volatility, supported by third-party client growth and enhanced operational efficiency. DKL's fundamentals are robust: operating margin improved to 17.5%, revenues rose 22% YoY, and cost sensitivity decreased despite inflationary headwinds. Attractive valuation persists with a target price of $74.02–$77.91, underpinned by high distribution yields and sustainable liquidity.

AGNC Investment has maintained its lucrative monthly dividend for more than five consecutive years. Delek Logistics has increased its distribution payment for 51 straight quarters.
