NuStar Energy stock holds steady as NSS units yield 10.25 percent

NuStar Energy L.P. (US63050T1060) closed at USD 25.00 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, while its NSS preferred units carry a 10.25 percent annual distribution rate. The security's income profile, rather than a reported operating result, is the central market fact for holders of the preferred units.

Income remains the central metric

The 10.25 percent distribution rate is calculated on the USD 25.00 liquidation preference, implying USD 2.5625 in annual distributions per unit before any tax treatment. That arithmetic separates NSS from common-stock analysis, where earnings growth and operating leverage usually dominate the discussion.

The security's ISIN is US63050T1060 and its ticker is NSS, according to the dated security data published on September 22, 2026 by Ad-hoc News. The same source identifies the NYSE as the trading venue.

Price level frames the risk

At USD 25.00 on September 22, 2026, NSS was trading at its stated liquidation preference. For investors, that relationship matters because the market price and the preferred distribution rate describe two different risks: income depends on the issuer's ability to make distributions, while the quoted price can move with interest rates, credit conditions and liquidity.

The 10.25 percent rate is a fixed contractual figure for the preferred units, not a forecast of total return. A purchase price above or below USD 25.00 would change the current yield calculation, while the source's quoted price supplies the reference point used here.

NSS stays tied to the NYSE

NuStar Energy L.P. preferred units remain identified by the NSS ticker on the NYSE, with the September 22, 2026 quote at USD 25.00. The combination of a fixed 10.25 percent distribution rate and a USD 25.00 reference price gives the security a clearly defined income benchmark, but it does not remove issuer, interest-rate or market-liquidity risk.
