It would seem with the upgrade they are saying it should increase.

That's a nice bump! So it sounds like yield will be going down due to price increases?

Golar LNG Partners (GMLP +6.5%) is upgraded to Buy from Hold with a $25 price target, raised from $23, at Stifel, which expects the units to strengthen to a yield commensurate with well covered distributions.

Have been looking at the numbers and GMLP seems like a decent buy. Almost an 11% yield, with a 2 year contract backlog.
