In its annual high‐yield roundup, Motley Fool contributors highlighted Marathon Petroleum as a leading dividend growth alternative. Citing Verizon’s heavy capital expenditure requirements, the analysts pointed to MPC’s integrated downstream and midstream operations—anchored by the nation’s largest refining system—as a stable cash‐flow generator capable of sustaining dividend increases. They noted Marathon’s general partner interest in MPLX LP, which adds fee‐based midstream revenues, and projected that these diversified earnings streams could support continued dividend growth above the industry average over the next three years.
