HOUSTON, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) announced today their quarterly distributions with respect to the third quarter of 2026 and also announced timing of third quarter 2026 earnings.
Third Quarter Distribution Declaration
PAA and PAGP announced the following quarterly cash distributions, each of which will be payable on November 13, 2026, to holders of the respective securities at the close of business on October 30, 2026:
- PAA Common Units – $0.4175 per Common Unit ($1.67 per unit on an annualized basis), which is unchanged from the distribution paid in August 2026.
- PAGP Class A Shares – $0.4175 per Class A Share ($1.67 per Class A Share on an annualized basis), which is unchanged from the distribution paid in August 2026.
Although equity holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding their particular circumstances, following the close of the NGL asset sale, it is possible that PAGP will report positive current earnings and profits for the Tax Year 2026, making part of its Class A Share cash distribution taxable as a dividend. The transaction is not estimated to result in a material change in the previous forecast regarding when routine PAGP distributions will shift from being a return of capital to being taxed as dividends or when PAGP will become a taxpaying entity. Following payment of quarterly distributions, Plains will publish Form 8937, Report of Organizational Actions Affecting Basis of Securities to clarify the expected portion of the quarterly distribution that will be taxed as a dividend. In addition, to the extent any cash distribution exceeds a Class A Shareholder’s tax basis, it should be taxable as a capital gain. A Qualified Notice under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446 with respect to the PAA Common Unit distribution will be posted on the Plains website under “Investor Relations – Unit Information.”
Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Timing
PAA and PAGP also announced that they will release third quarter 2026 earnings before market open on Friday, November 6, 2026. Following the announcement, PAA and PAGP will host a conference call at 9:00 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) with analysts and investors to discuss earnings. The call will be webcast live on the internet and may be accessed through the "Investors Relations” section of the website at www.plains.com.
