- Bernstein analysts initiate several midstream and pipeline MLPs, estimating that less than 7% of MLPs $70B in service revenues are at risk in a $40/bbl oil environment; oil production volumes will likely fall this year, but midstream pipeline plays will mostly be unaffected, the firm says.
- On the other hand, the firm sees less long-term upside to MLPs than many investors expect, as after next year existing and in-progress gas and crude infrastructure will be sufficient to handle forward production through 2025.
- Bernstein prefers Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD) because of its significant committed market-based projects, and Williams Partners (NYSE:WPZ) and Williams Cos. (NYSE:WMB) on the belief they have been unfairly punished due to expected dividend cuts; the firm rates EPD, WPZ and WMB at Outperform.
- Bernstein ranks Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI), Spectra Energy (NYSE:SE), Spectra Energy Partners (NYSE:SEP), Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), Energy Transfer Equity (ETE), Cheniere Energy (NYSEMKT:LNG) and Cheniere Energy Partners (NYSEMKT:CQP) at Market Perform; the only name rated Underperform is Sunoco Logistics (NYSE:SXL).
