Energy Transfer Poised for Growth in LNG and Permian Basin
Energy Transfer is poised for growth with its Lake Charles LNG project and strong presence in the Permian Basin. The company's extensive midstream system and recent acquisitions promise robust cash flows and attractive yields for investors.
Energy Transfer's Lake Charles LNG project could secure long-term cash flows, bolstered by increasing global LNG demand. The company's strategic position in the Permian Basin, with the Hugh Brinson and Desert Southwest pipelines, further enhances its prospects. Energy Transfer's vast midstream system, capable of moving natural gas, crude oil, NGLs, and refined products, along with its storage and processing capacity, underscores its strength.
Genesis Energy's offshore projects, Shenandoah and Salamanca, are set to boost annual operating profits by $150 million at full production. Energy Transfer plans to invest $5 billion in growth capital expenditures in 2023, up from $2022's $3 billion. The company's distribution yields around 7.3%, with plans to raise it by 3% to 5% annually, providing attractive returns for investors.
Genesis Energy's sale of its soda ash business for $1.4 billion has improved its balance sheet and saved $84 million annually in interest and preferred payouts. Energy Transfer maintains low leverage, with 90% of 2025 EBITDA expected from fee-based contracts. The company expects to generate free cash flow soon and aims to pay down its revolver balance by the end of 2025.
Energy Transfer's Lake Charles LNG project and Permian Basin presence, coupled with Genesis Energy's offshore projects and the company's strong balance sheet, position Energy Transfer as an attractive investment opportunity in the pipeline space. With robust cash flows, attractive yields, and a commitment to growth, Energy Transfer offers a compelling proposition for investors.
