Sunoco ( (SUN) ) has provided an update.

On April 21, 2026, Sunoco LP and SunocoCorp LLC announced that the board of the partnership’s general partner approved a quarterly cash distribution of $0.9899 per common unit, or $3.9596 on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The distribution for both SUN and SUNC, representing an approximately 6.25% increase or $0.0582 per unit over the previous quarter and about 10% above the first quarter 2025 annualized level, is scheduled to be paid on May 20, 2026 to holders of record as of May 8, 2026.

The increase, which includes a one-time 5% step-up and a recurring 1.25% quarterly rise, marks the sixth consecutive quarterly distribution hike and underscores Sunoco’s capital allocation strategy targeting multi-year distribution growth of at least 5%. Management linked the higher payout to the partnership’s financial stability, successful execution of accretive acquisitions and growth projects, and the strength and visibility of future cash flows, signaling continued confidence for income-focused unitholders and reinforcing its positioning as a secure, growing distributor in the energy midstream and fuel distribution space.

The most recent analyst rating on (SUN) stock is a Buy with a $73.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sunoco stock, see the SUN Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on SUN Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SUN is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by improving operational and cash-flow momentum (including strong earnings-call guidance and record adjusted EBITDA) and bullish technical trends. Offsetting these positives are thin margins and elevated leverage, while valuation and a high dividend yield provide additional support.
