Energy Transfer Is A ‘Buy’ Before A Likely Q3 Earnings Beat

Summary:

  • Energy Transfer LP, a major energy transporter, has significant growth potential driven by strong performance, strategic acquisitions, and a healthy balance sheet, making it a “Buy” ahead of Q3 earnings.
  • The company’s adjusted EBITDA rose to $3.76 billion, supported by record pipeline volumes and exports, with distributable cash flow reaching $2 billion.
  • Despite market skepticism about traditional energy, Energy Transfer’s undervaluation and high distribution yield present a lucrative investment opportunity, with a fair value target of ~$21.7 per unit.
  • The supplies of petroleum products have reached a five-year high, and the integration of recently acquired assets is expected to yield cost savings, making it likely that ET will beat.
  • Based on all that, ET seems to be a “Buy” ahead of its upcoming Q3 earnings.
