Hess Midstream: Deal Or No Deal, Shareholders Win
Hess Midstream offers value whether Chevron acquires it or not; both scenarios are beneficial for shareholders at current prices, supporting my Buy rating.

If the Chevron-Hess deal fails or Chevron divests Bakken assets, Hess Midstream remains slightly undervalued based on my DCF model and stable long-term contracts.
