SUN is also attractive as it has a fairly low forward P/E ratio of 8.03. This means SUN might be undervalued around $32 per share despite the fact that it is less than a dollar away form its 52-week high of $33. SUN’s decision to sell most of its gas stations and pay down debt appears to be working. Add in the fact that SUN has a dividend of 10.65% and investors have even more reason to be intrigued by the stock. The company’s repayment of debt has solidified its cash distribution, ensuring the dividend can be paid.

Delek Logistics Partners (DKL - Get Rating)

Above all, investors gravitate toward DKL for its elite dividend payment of 8.81%. DKL’s EPS is likely to grow by an impressive 40.3% this year alone, beating out the industry average of 13.6% EPS growth.

Oasis Midstream Partners (OMP - Get Rating)
