Summary

  • Energy Transfer's diversified midstream empire and strategic growth projects position it for continued expansion and strong returns, even after significant unit appreciation.
  • The company’s robust free cash flow, disciplined capital allocation, and rising distributions underscore its financial strength and resilience in volatile energy markets.
  • Current valuation metrics are above sector averages, but ET’s fee-based revenue, EBITDA growth, and high yield make it an attractive entry point after recent price drops.
  • Risks include commodity exposure and aging assets, but I remain confident in ET’s future, rating it a strong buy for income and growth investors.

As a detail-oriented investor with a strong foundation in finance and business writing, I focus on analyzing undervalued and disliked companies or industries that have strong fundamentals and good cash flows. I have a particular interest in sectors such as Oil&Gas and consumer goods. Basically, anything that has been unloved for unjustified reasons that could offer substantial returns. Energy Transfer is one of those companies that I came across when no one wanted to touch it and now I can't resolve myself to sell it. I will always focus more on long-term value investing but I can sometimes lose myself in possible deal arbitrage such as with Microsoft/ Activision Blizzard, Spirit Airlines/Jetblue (that one still hurts), and Nippon/U.S. Steel (perfect exit at $50.19). I tend to shun businesses that I can't understand either high-tech or certain consumer goods such as fashion (give me a Levi's jeans). I don't understand why anyone would invest in cryptocurrencies as well. Through Seeking Alpha, I aim to connect with like-minded investors, share insights, and build a collaborative community of individuals seeking superior returns and informed decision-making, currently on a quest to review every public company.
