Yielding more than 8%
Because its units have been hit so hard this year, the distribution yield has fallen to around 8%.

(NASDAQ:EVEP) increased its payout every quarter since it started paying distributions. While the rate of growth is slow, you can’t complain about the consistency of that growth.

Foolish bottom line
With its units on sale, EV Energy Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ:EVEP) is becoming an interesting investment candidate if for no other reason than to pick up that 8% distribution.
