Kimbell Royalty Partners expects its 2026 production to be fairly similar to its 2025 production, with a 32% oil cut. Around 20% of its 2026 oil production is hedged. I estimate KRP's average 2026 quarterly distribution at $0.47 per unit, up 30% from 2H 2025, with further upside to $0.54 per unit in a further oil upside scenario. My base case valuation for Kimbell has increased from $16.50 per unit to $17.50 per unit, mainly due to higher 2026 WTI oil strip prices (at $84 currently).

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP (NYSE: KRP) ("Kimbell"), a leading owner of oil and natural gas mineral and royalty interests in more than 133,000 gross wells across 28 states, today announced that it will release its first quarter 2026 financial results on Thursday, May 7, 2026, before the market opens. Kimbell will also declare its first quarter 2026 distribution concurrent with this release.

The S&P 500 is down 4.29% over the past month, and the VIX fear gauge has climbed 53% in that same window to sit at 27, firmly in elevated-uncertainty territory.

Three high yield income stocks are paying between 10.7% and 19.7% right now, and most retail investors have never heard of any of them.

I'll break down of three MLPs/energy partnerships using yield, distribution growth, cash-flow coverage, leverage, and cycle durability as the deciding factors. Contenders include contrasts between a scale-driven midstream operator with a data-center angle, a consistently executing pipeline partnership with repeated 12.5% hikes, and a royalty model built around zero capex and tax-advantaged payouts.

During times of turbulence and uncertainty in the markets, many investors turn to dividend-yielding stocks. These are often companies that have high free cash flows and reward shareholders with a high dividend payout.

MLPA is paying a 7.3% yield while XOMO's weekly checks have swung from $0.05 to $0.19 per share in recent months.
