Energy Transfer LP, trading under the symbol ET on the NYSE, is a prominent player in the midstream energy sector.

On March 4, 2025, UBS maintained its "Buy" rating for ET, with the stock trading at approximately $18.28. Despite a recent 1.35% dip in its stock price, Energy Transfer has seen a significant 30% increase over the past year. This growth is supported by the company's comprehensive midstream system and strategic positioning, which provide numerous opportunities for revenue generation.
Energy Transfer's financial performance has been robust, with double-digit earnings and cash-flow growth last year. This success is attributed to acquisitions, organic expansion projects, and favorable market conditions. The company anticipates further growth, driven by an expected surge in power demand, as highlighted by Co-CEO Tom Long during the fourth-quarter conference call.
The company's income generation is notable, offering a 6.7% cash distribution yield.

The stock's performance contrasts with the broader Zacks S&P 500 composite's 1.3% decrease and the Zacks Oil and Gas - Production Pipeline - MLB industry's slight loss of 0.1%.
