Thursday, May 23, 5:40 PM Kinder Morgan says it could eventually simplify its complex gaggle of companies, even though "we like having the two MLPs out there to accelerate dropdowns," CFO Kimberly Dang says. The dropdowns will wrap up next year, and a combination would have to "make economic sense. If the economics don’t work... we have no issue running two MLPs. [It] is not a huge administrative burden.” 13 Comments [Energy]
Wednesday, May 15, 4:53 PM Ned Davis Research finds MLPs in a familiar bind: They look rich by historical standards but not relative to income investing alternatives. Judging MLPs just by distributable cash flow, their 6.85% average DCF yield is well below their long-term 9.2% median, which would make MLPs “dramatically overvalued." NDR's favorites on a pullback: ETP, OKS, EEP, EPB, ACMP. 9 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, April 17, 5:47 PM El Paso Pipeline Partners (EPB) declares quarterly distribution of $0.62/share, 1.64% increase from prior dividend of $0.61. Forward yield 5.86%. For shareholders of record Apr. 29. Payable May 15. Ex-div date Apr. 25.(PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Wednesday, April 17, 4:12 PM El Paso Pipeline Partners (EPB): Q1 EPS of $0.58 beats by $0.03. Revenue of $386M misses by $15.35M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Wednesday, April 17, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Wednesday’s close: ALB, AXP, CCK, CLB, CVA, CYS, EBAY, EPB, KMP, NE, SCSS, SLM, SNDK, STLD Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Tuesday, April 16, 5:35 PM Notable earnings after Wednesday’s close: ALB, AXP, CCK, CLB, CVA, CYS, EBAY, EPB, KMP, NE, SCSS, SLM, SNDK, STLD Comment! [Earnings]
Tuesday, March 26, 6:55 PM It's understandable that MLP investors would be irritated as several - Calumet Specialty (CLMT) and Access Midstream (ACMP) are the latest - again revisit the trough for more capital and dilute their holdings, but demand for MLPs is so strong that unit prices of some involved in recent financings - BWP, DPM, EPB, EPD, MCEP - already have recouped initial losses and gained since their announcements. 18 Comments [Energy]
Wednesday, March 13, 12:54 PM Credit Suisse grows more selective on MLPs, citing four whose valuations it thinks have grown excessive. El Paso Pipeline (EPB -1.9%) is cut to Neutral, as the firm sees decelerating distribution growth as drop-downs associated with the acquisition of El Paso Corp. by Kinder Morgan are absorbed. TLLP and EQM also are lowered, but CVR Refining (CVRR +1.9%) is raised to Outperform. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Friday, February 15, 5:46 PM After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: PSUN +6%. NSM +5%. MGM +4%. NOG +4%. HK +4%.
After-hours top losers: SKH -5%. EPB -5%. WOOF -4%. LCI -4%. PRSS -3%. Comment! [On the Move]
Monday, January 28, 8:35 AM Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) and Kinder Morgan (KMI) will team up to export liquid natural gas from the Elba Island LNG terminal near Savannah, Ga. Financial terms were not disclosed. El Paso Pipeline Partners (EPB), a KMI unit, will own 51% of the new entity and Shell will own 49% through affiliates and subscribe to 100% of the liquefaction capacity, expected at ~350M cu. ft./day. 8 Comments [Energy]
Thursday, January 17, 2:54 PM RBC Capital reiterates its Outperform rating for Kinder Morgan (KMI +1.5%), raising its price target to $44 and issuing bullish comments on the El Paso (EPB) acquisition, which the firm says provides highly-visible cash flow growth. KMI's Q4 earnings more than doubled as it reported strong demand for the transport of natural gas from affiliates Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP) and El Paso. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Wednesday, January 16, 5:11 PM El Paso Pipeline Partners (EPB) declares quarterly distribution of $0.61/unit, 5.0% increase from prior dividend of $0.58. Forward yield 6.16%. For unitholders of record Jan. 31. Payable Feb. 14. Ex-div date Jan. 29. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]

Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 8:25 AM Kinder Morgan (KMI) announces preliminary 2013 projections, including expected dividends of $1.57/share, a 16% increase over its 2012 budget target. Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP) expects to declare cash distributions of $5.28/unit, a 6% increase over its 2012 budget target. Yesterday, KMI won court approval of a $110M settlement of investor lawsuits over its El Paso acquisition. Comment! [Energy]
