Should You Buy Plains All American Stock Now That Crude Oil Prices Are Below $90 a Barrel?
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
We're seven months into 2026, and it's fair to say investors have faced more headline risk and volatility in oil stocks than they bargained for this year.

The on-again/off-again nature of the war in Iran is creating wide swings in oil prices, reminding investors that this corner of financial markets is fraught with headline risk. Yet even with all the turbulence, wholesale West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices are up 49% year to date. In comparison, the S&P Energy Sector Index is up 31.4%, confirming energy's status as the best-performing group in the S&P 500.

Of course, the bumps associated with energy investing aren't for everyone, underscoring why some investors opt for pipeline stocks like Plains All American Pipeline (PAA +0.66%). Up 36% this year, Plains All American is clearly participating in the broader energy rally, but it's not necessarily a "sell" if crude prices pull back in a big way.

All good on the Plains Like its midstream brethren, Plains All American operates a toll-road business model. That means it collects steady fees on the transportation and storage of natural gas and oil. One of the benefits of that model is reduced sensitivity to the price gyrations of those commodities. Yes, Plains All American and plenty of other pipeline equities are soaring this year, but over longer holding periods, these stocks aren't as sensitive to crude and natural gas prices as exploration and production stocks are.

The long and the short of it is that with WTI prices below $90 on Tuesday, July 21, shares of Plains All American could prove somewhat durable even if the U.S. and Iran reach a lasting peace deal that sends oil prices lower.

Investors should also consider that this pipeline operator isn't letting headlines dictate its day-to-day operations. Last week, Plains All American, citing strength in its Canadian and Permian Basin operations, told investors it will spend $400 million to $450 million this year, up from a prior forecast of $350 million.

Even if the war in Iran isn't resolved in the near term, Plains All American has avenues to benefit, as CEO Willie Chiang points out that global crude supplies are tight, which is driving more demand for North American oil. In turn, that drives more demand for the services offered by midstream companies such as Plains All American.

An all-American dividend In addition to reduced sensitivity to energy commodity prices, one of the big reasons so many investors flock to the midstream is the segment's reputation for attractive dividends. With a yield of 6.8%, Plains All American certainly embodies the midstream spirit of large payouts.

More importantly, the company's trailing-12-month dividend payout has more than doubled over the past five years, confirming that Plains All American has delivered payout growth across a variety of oil price environments.

There's support for that dividend. The company raised $3.3 billion from the May sale of its Canadian midstream business, enabling it to reduce leverage. Declining leverage and cost efficiencies from previous acquisitions could improve dividend coverage, suggesting Plains All American may be a dependable income idea regardless of what's happening in the oil market.

PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
HOUSTON, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) announced today their quarterly distributions with respect to the second quarter of 2026 and also announced timing of second quarter 2026 earnings.

Second Quarter Distribution Declaration

PAA and PAGP announced the following quarterly cash distributions, each of which will be payable on August 14, 2026, to holders of the respective securities at the close of business on July 31, 2026:

PAA Common Units – $0.4175 per Common Unit ($1.67 per unit on an annualized basis), which is unchanged from the distribution paid in May 2026.PAGP Class A Shares – $0.4175 per Class A Share ($1.67 per Class A Share on an annualized basis), which is unchanged from the distribution paid in May 2026.PAA Series A Preferred Units – $0.61524 per Series A Preferred Unit (approximately $2.46 per unit on an annualized basis).
For its Series B Preferred Units, PAA announced a quarterly distribution of $20.50 per Series B Unit (based on the applicable quarterly floating rate), which will be payable on August 17, 2026, to holders of record at the close of business on August 3, 2026.

Although equity holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding their particular circumstances, following the close of the NGL asset sale, it is possible that PAGP will report positive current earnings and profits for the Tax Year 2026, making part of its Class A Share cash distribution taxable as a dividend. The transaction is not estimated to result in a material change in the previous forecast regarding when routine PAGP distributions will shift from being a return of capital to being taxed as dividends or when PAGP will become a taxpaying entity. Following payment of quarterly distributions, Plains will publish Form 8937, Report of Organizational Actions Affecting Basis of Securities to clarify the expected portion of the quarterly distribution that will be taxed as a dividend.

Plains All American: Right Call, Wrong Math, Still Bullish
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Plains All American raised FY'26 EBITDA guidance midpoint to $2.88B, reflecting improved crude macro but highlighting only modest sensitivity to oil price increases. PAGP's earnings base has stabilized, with fee-based operations now dominating and opportunistic trading exposure significantly reduced versus the volatile mid-2010s. Permian volumes were flat or down in most pipeline segments, as upstream producers showed discipline despite higher oil prices and geopolitical disruptions.

PAA vs. ET: Which Pipeline Stock Can Deliver Stronger Returns Now?
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways PAA appears better placed than ET, with lower debt use, higher ROE and stronger six-month gains.PAA's 2027 earnings estimate rose 2.48%, while ET's 2026 and 2027 estimates both declined.PAA yields 7.83%, with five hikes in five years; ET yields 7.2%, with 18 hikes in that period. The companies operating in the Zacks Oil and Gas – Production Pipeline industry play a vital role in the energy value chain by transporting and storing the crude oil and natural gas needed to power transportation, industrial operations and households. Beyond ensuring a reliable energy supply, midstream infrastructure enhances energy security, supports economic growth and provides essential feedstocks for petrochemical and fertilizer production. As global energy demand continues to increase, midstream companies remain critical to meeting traditional energy needs while also facilitating the transition to cleaner energy solutions and lower-carbon operations.

Two leading players in the U.S. midstream sector are Plains All American Pipeline L.P. (PAA - Free Report) and Energy Transfer LP (ET - Free Report) . These firms have extensive pipeline networks that offer a safe, efficient and cost-effective way to transport crude oil, natural gas and refined products over long distances. This critical infrastructure ensures a reliable supply to refineries, power plants and end users while providing a more economical and lower-risk transportation solution than rail or truck alternatives.

Plains All American Pipeline focuses on the transportation, storage and marketing of crude oil and NGLs across North America. Its extensive network of pipelines and terminals is strategically concentrated in prolific production regions such as the Permian Basin, positioning the partnership to benefit from rising hydrocarbon output. Moreover, its predominantly fee-based, long-term contracts provide stable cash flows and reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations.

Energy Transfer, on the other hand, operates a broader and more diversified midstream portfolio spanning crude oil, natural gas, NGLs and refined products, supported by extensive storage, processing and export infrastructure. Like Plains All American Pipeline, it maintains a significant presence in the Permian Basin. The company’s ownership of assets such as the Dakota Access Pipeline and interests in export terminals further enhances its scale, market reach and cash flow generation capabilities.

With U.S. oil and natural gas production continuing to grow, demand for midstream transportation, storage and processing services remains strong. Per a report from Fortune Business Insights, the global oil & gas pipeline market is projected to grow from $122.22 billion in 2026 to $195.09 billion by 2034. Against this favorable backdrop, a closer examination of the fundamentals of these two midstream firms can help determine which stock currently offers the more compelling investment opportunity.

PAA & ET’s Earnings Per Unit Growth ProjectionsThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for Plains All American Pipeline’s 2026 earnings has decreased 4.29% in the past 60 days, while 2027 estimates increased 2.48% in the same timeframe.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

The same for Energy Transfer’s 2026 and 2027 earnings has decreased 4.67% and 4.4%, respectively, in the past 60 days. The above discussion indicates both firms are facing near-term headwinds, but Plain All Pipeline is showing some recovery for 2027.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Debt to CapitalThe oil and gas midstream industry is capital-intensive. The firms operating in this space need to borrow to fund their capital projects.

At present, ET’s debt to capital is 58.23%, higher than PAA’s 47.02%. This indicates ET’s management is utilizing a higher percentage of debt to run its operation compared with PAA.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Return on EquityReturn on Equity (“ROE”) is an important measure of financial performance that indicates how efficiently a company converts shareholder equity into profits. It highlights management’s effectiveness in utilizing invested capital to grow earnings and enhance shareholder value.

ET’s current ROE is 9.77% compared with PAA’s 12.17%. This indicates PAA’s management is utilizing its funds marginally better than Energy Transfer.

ValuationPlains All American Pipeline’s units are trading at a premium compared with Energy Transfer. PAA’s current trailing 12-month Enterprise Value/Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EV/EBITDA) is 11.8X compared with Energy Transfer’s 9.94X.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

PAA and ET’s Cash DistributionMidstream companies generate substantial cash flow primarily due to fee-based contracts and regulated tariffs that constitute a significant portion of their income. Both firms generate cash flows, a substantial portion of which is distributed among their unitholders.

Plains All American Pipeline’s current cash distribution yield is 7.83%. The firm has raised its distribution five times over the last five years. The annualized average distribution growth for the last five years is 20.92%.

Energy Transfer’s current cash distribution yield is 7.2%. The firm has raised its distribution 18 times in the last five years. The annualized average distribution growth for the last five years is 19%.

Price PerformancePlains All American Pipeline’s units have gained 20.7% in the past six months compared with Energy Transfer’s rally of 15.5%.

Price Performance (Six months)
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Wrapping UpPAA and ET deliver efficient services across their respective operating regions, supported by extensive infrastructure in the prolific Permian Basin.

Based on the above discussion, Plains All American Pipeline has a clear edge over Energy Transfer due to better ROE, lower percentage of debt usage, stronger earnings estimates movement in 2027 and better price performance.

Although both firms currently carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), Plains All American Pipeline appears to be favorably placed to provide better returns to the investors.

Here's Why Plains All American Pipeline (PAA) is a Strong Value Stock
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.

The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.

It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.93% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Plains All American Pipeline (PAA - Free Report) Founded in 1998, Houston, TX-based Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., a master limited partnership (MLP), is involved in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL) and refined products in the U.S. and Canada. The partnership has operations in the Permian Basin, South Texas/Eagle Ford area, Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast in the U.S., and Manito, South Saskatchewan, Rainbow in Canada.

PAA is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

It also boasts a Value Style Score of A thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 11.75; value investors should take notice.

For fiscal 2026, two analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.16 to $1.78 per share. PAA boasts an average earnings surprise of +1.6%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, PAA should be on investors' short list.

5 Virtually Unknown Passive Income Stocks With 6% and Higher Dividends
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text

Investors love dividend stocks because they provide dependable passive income streams and an excellent opportunity for solid total return. Total return includes interest, capital gains, dividends, and distributions realized over time. In other words, the total return on an investment or portfolio consists of income and stock appreciation. At 24/7 Wall St., we have focused on dividend stocks for over 15 years because, despite the stock market’s ups and downs, many people need reliable passive income streams to supplement their income from employment or other sources such as Social Security and pensions.

The World Federation of Exchanges has estimated there are approximately 45,000 to 58,000 listed companies across all global exchanges at any given time. So if there are a few that you may not be aware of, you are not alone. We decided to screen our 24/7 Wall St. dividend stock database, looking for companies that pay a 6% or higher yield and are quality names with dependable, growing dividends. Five hit our screens, and don’t be surprised if some or all of them are new to you. Four of the five are rated Buy at the top Wall Street firms we cover.

Why do we cover dividend stocks?

Since 1926, dividends have accounted for approximately 32% of the S&P 500’s total return, while capital appreciation has accounted for 68%. Therefore, sustainable dividend income and the potential for capital appreciation are essential to total return expectations. A study by Hartford Funds, in collaboration with Ned Davis Research, found that dividend stocks delivered an annualized return of 9.18% over the 50 years from 1973 to 2023. Over the same timeline, this was more than double the annualized return for non-payers (3.95%).

Plains All American Pipeline Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE: PAA | PAA Price Prediction) stock was locked in a tight trading range before breaking out, and it offers a dependable 7.24% dividend yield.

Persian Gulf Oil Output Is Down 57%. These Are the Energy Stocks Built for This Moment.
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The war with Iran is having an enormous impact on the global oil market. According to an estimate by Goldman Sachs, oil production from the Persian Gulf region is down 57% from its pre-war level, or about 14.5 million barrels per day. The world is currently covering the shortfall by drawing oil from storage, including a record 400 million barrel release by members of the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Here's a look at some of the energy companies built for moments like these.

Image source: Getty Images.

American's emergency oil stockpile The U.S. is helping offset the impact of the Strait of Hormuz closure by adding supply to the market. The Department of Energy (DOE) is releasing 172 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) as part of the IEA's record release.

The SPR is the world's largest emergency oil stockpile, with a capacity of 714 million barrels. The SPR relies on energy companies to transport crude oil from its four storage sites along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The SPR feeds into three oil pipeline distribution systems (Seaway, Taxoma, and Capline) that connect this oil to refineries along the Gulf Coast (and elsewhere) as well as three marine terminals (Seaway, Nederland, and St. James).

The energy companies supporting the SPR release Enterprise Products Partners (EPD 1.50%) and Enbridge (ENB +0.04%) co-own the Seaway Pipeline Company, which operates the Seaway Pipeline and marine facilities. Their system plays a crucial role in helping the DOE transport oil from the SPR to U.S. refineries and global markets via their export docks. Additionally, both companies own other vital oil infrastructure. Enterprise operates several oil pipelines, storage terminals (including at the critical Cushing, OK, hub), and export facilities. Meanwhile, Enbridge operates North America's longest and most complex crude oil transportation system, moving 30% of the crude oil produced on the continent. It also operates the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center, the largest crude oil export terminal by volume.

Plains All American Pipelines (PAA 1.10%) is a leader in U.S. oil infrastructure. It operates 20,000 miles of crude oil pipelines, including an interest in the Capline Pipeline, which supports SPR releases. Additionally, Plains All American has 75 million barrels of commercial crude storage capacity and owns five marine terminals in the U.S. Its infrastructure is crucial to supporting the flow of oil from wells to market centers.

Energy Transfer (ET 1.47%) owns the Nederland terminal, which connects directly with the SPR. That facility, as well as its Houston terminal, played a vital role in the 2022 SPR release following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, Energy Transfer operates extensive oil infrastructure across the U.S., including 17,950 miles of oil pipelines and a crude oil terminal with 73 million barrels of capacity.

Filling the gap Enbridge, Enterprise Products Partners, Plains All American Pipeline, and Energy Transfer operate crucial crude oil infrastructure. Their systems are assisting the DOE in getting oil from the SPR to U.S. refineries and global markets to help offset the supply issues in the Persian Gulf. As a result, these companies should see higher volumes this year, boosting their cash flow. That will provide additional support for their high-yielding and steadily rising dividends.

Why Plains All American Pipeline (PAA) is a Top Momentum Stock for the Long-Term
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.

The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.

It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.93% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Plains All American Pipeline (PAA - Free Report) Founded in 1998, Houston, TX-based Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., a master limited partnership (MLP), is involved in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL) and refined products in the U.S. and Canada. The partnership has operations in the Permian Basin, South Texas/Eagle Ford area, Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast in the U.S., and Manito, South Saskatchewan, Rainbow in Canada.

PAA is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Momentum investors should take note of this Oils-Energy stock. PAA has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 4% over the past four weeks.

Three analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.20 to $1.83 per share. PAA also boasts an average earnings surprise of +1.6%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, PAA should be on investors' short list.

3 Oil Pipeline MLP Stocks to Gain Despite Industry Challenges
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Unlike exploration and production operations, the midstream energy space is generally less vulnerable to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices. Despite this, the outlook for the Zacks Oil and Gas - Pipeline MLP industry is gloomy, primarily due to the conservative spending of upstream companies, which is likely to continue hurting the demand for transportation and storage assets.

Notwithstanding these developments, players like Enterprise Products Partners LP (EPD - Free Report) , Energy Transfer LP (ET - Free Report) and Plains All American Pipeline LP (PAA - Free Report) are well-positioned to sail through the prevailing uncertainties.

About the Industry The Zacks Oil and Gas - Pipeline MLP industry comprises master limited partnerships (or MLPs) that primarily transport oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products and natural gas liquids (NGL) to consumers in North America. Apart from transporting the commodities, the partnerships have huge capacities to store oil, natural gas and petrochemical products.  The partnerships thus provide midstream services to producers and consumers of the commodities. The firms generate stable fee-based revenues from all these transportation and storage assets. The services provided by the MLPs entail the gathering and processing of commodities. The integrated midstream energy players also generate cashflows from ownership interests in fractionators and condensate distillation facilities.

What's Shaping the Future of Oil & Gas - Production & Pipelines Industry? High Debt Load: The industry is inherently capital-intensive, as evident in the debt-to-capitalization ratio of 56.8%, where borrowing is a common practice to finance large infrastructure projects. However, elevated leverage can constrain financial flexibility, hindering midstream energy companies' capacity to invest in new developments, navigate economic downturns, or address unforeseen costs.

Shift to Renewables: Energy majors will increasingly face challenges in providing sustainable energy to the world while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To address the issues of climate change, there will be a gradual shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. This will lower the demand for the partnerships’ pipeline and storage networks for oil and natural gas.

Explorers’ Conservative Capital Spending: Oil and gas exploration and production companies are facing heightened pressure from investors to focus on stockholders’ returns rather than production. This is hindering the production growth of commodities, thereby denting the demand for pipeline and storage assets.

Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Weak Prospects The Zacks Oil and Gas - Pipeline MLP industry is a seven-stock group within the broader Zacks Oil - Energy sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #195, which places it in the bottom 20% of more than 250 Zacks industries.

The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates dull near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

The industry’s position in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries forms an unfavorable earnings outlook for the constituent stocks in aggregate. Before we present a few stocks that you may want to consider, let’s look at the industry’s recent stock market performance and its valuation picture.

Industry Underperforms Sector, S&P 500 The Zacks Oil and Gas - Pipeline MLP industry has underperformed the broader Zacks Oil - Energy sector and the Zacks S&P 500 Composite over the past year. The industry has rallied 19.8% in the past year compared with the broader sector’s 47.6% surge and the S&P 500's 29.6% rise.

One-Year Price Performance

Industry's Current Valuation Since midstream-focused oil and gas partnerships use fixed-rate debt for the majority of their borrowings, it makes sense to value them based on the EV/EBITDA (Enterprise Value/ Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) ratio. This is because the valuation metric takes into account not just equity but also the level of debt.

On the basis of the trailing 12-month enterprise value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA), the industry is currently trading at 12.22X, lower than the S&P 500’s 18.70X. It is, however, significantly above the sector’s trailing 12-month EV/EBITDA of 7.16X.

Over the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 12.60X and as low as 8.27X, with a median of 10.65X.

Trailing 12-Month Enterprise Value-to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) Ratio

3 Oil & Gas Pipeline MLPs to Gain Enterprise Products Partners is a leading midstream player and therefore has a resilient business model. EPD has a pipeline network that spans more than 50,000 miles, transporting oil, natural gas, refined products and other commodities. The partnership generates stable fee-based revenues from the midstream assets as the assets are booked by shippers for a long term.

Due to the resilience of its business model, the partnership, currently carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), has been able to return capital to unitholders on an ongoing basis. Since its IPO, Enterprise Products has returned billions of dollars to unitholders through both repurchases and distributions. EPD has increased distributions for 27 consecutive years. Thus, the partnership has successfully kept cash flow steady at all business cycles.

Price and Consensus: EPD

Energy Transfer has a stable business model with its huge pipeline network of natural gas, oil and refined petroleum products across 140,000 miles. The partnership has midstream assets in all the key basins in the United States, generating stable fee-based revenues.

Energy Transfer, with a Zacks Rank of 3, has offered a higher dividend yield than the composite stocks belonging to the industry over the past three consecutive years. For this year, the partnership is likely to see earnings growth of 25.6%.

Price and Consensus: ET

Plains All American Pipeline also enjoys stable fee-based revenues, banking on its oil and natural gas pipeline network and storage assets. Over the past 30 days, the #3 Ranked stock has witnessed upward earnings estimate revisions for 2026. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Plains All American to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Plains All American expects Q1 EPS of 41 cents, up 5.13% year over year. PAA may benefit from Cactus III synergies and operational efficiency gains in Q1. Higher interest costs tied to the Cactus III deal may weigh on Plains All American's results. Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2026 results on May 8, before market open. The firm reported a negative earnings surprise of 14.89% in the last quarter.

Let us discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Q1 Expectations for PAAThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 41 cents per share, implying 5.13% year-over-year growth.

The consensus estimate for revenues is pinned at $12.54 billion, indicating an increase of 4.39% from the year-ago reported figure.

Factors Likely to Have Impacted PAA’s Q1 EarningsPlains All American Pipeline’s first-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from synergies stemming from its Cactus III acquisition, supporting its pure-play crude midstream transition strategy. This is likely to improve service quality and drive EBITDA growth, supporting the upcoming earnings results.

PAA's continuous focus on operational efficiency and cost optimization is likely to have acted as a tailwind to its performance in the to-be-reported quarter. This is expected to have lowered expenses, improved returns and boosted first-quarter earnings per share.

The company's disciplined cost allocation plans, along with its widespread network of pipelines and storage assets across major North American oil-producing regions, are expected to have supported revenue growth and strengthened first-quarter earnings performance.

However, the loan taken to fund the Cactus III acquisition is likely to have increased interest expenses, which may have offset some positives in first-quarter earnings.

What Our Quantitative Model Predicts for PAAOur proven model does not predict an earnings beat for Plains All American Pipeline this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That is not the case here, as you will see below.

PAA’s Earnings ESP: The firm has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% at present. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

PAA’s Zacks Rank: Currently, Plains All American Pipeline carries a Zacks Rank #3. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Shell plc (SHEL - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter results on May 7. It has an Earnings ESP of +3.56% and a Zacks Rank #1 at present.

The company has a dividend yield of 3.32%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter EPS is pinned at $1.78, which implies a year-over-year fall of 3.26%.

Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter results on May 7. It has an Earnings ESP of +0.65% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present.

The company has a dividend yield of 4.50%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter EPS is pinned at 52 cents, which implies a year-over-year fall of 7.14%.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.

It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.93% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Plains All American Pipeline (PAA - Free Report) Founded in 1998, Houston, TX-based Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., a master limited partnership (MLP), is involved in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL) and refined products in the U.S. and Canada. The partnership has operations in the Permian Basin, South Texas/Eagle Ford area, Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast in the U.S., and Manito, South Saskatchewan, Rainbow in Canada.

PAA is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

It also boasts a Value Style Score of A thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 13.17; value investors should take notice.

Three analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.14 to $1.68 per share. PAA also boasts an average earnings surprise of +1.6%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, PAA should be on investors' short list.

Plains All American Reports First-Quarter 2026 Results & Raises 2026 Guidance
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
HOUSTON, May 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) today reported first-quarter 2026 results and raised full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance.

First-Quarter 2026 Results

First-quarter Net income attributable to PAA of $152 million and Net cash provided by operating activities of $418 millionDelivered first-quarter Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA of $730 millionPro forma leverage ratio of 4.1x at quarter-end; expect to return toward the midpoint of the target range of 3.25 to 3.75x following closing of the NGL divestiture and migrating toward lower-end of the range by year-endPaid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4175 per unit ($1.67 per unit annualized), representing a current distribution yield of ~7.5% 2026 Updated Outlook

Increasing midpoint of full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance attributable to PAA by $130 million to $2.880 billion +/- $75 million (reflecting a strong oil macro environment and NGL contribution into May 2026)Growth capital remains $350 million with maintenance capital increasing to $185 million, reflecting ownership of NGL assets into May 2026Full-year 2026 Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance increased to approximately $1.850 billion (excluding changes in Assets & Liabilities and anticipated cash proceeds from the NGL divestiture) “Global events this year illustrate the importance of reliable, secure and responsibly produced energy and have accelerated the timing of our view for a more constructive crude oil market. Our integrated business model and asset base connecting U.S. crude production to the global markets are critical to meeting global energy demand. As a result, we are increasing the midpoint of our 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance by $130 million to reflect a constructive oil macro environment and extended ownership of our Canadian NGL business into May. The closing of the NGL divestiture will mark a transition to a premier pure play crude oil midstream provider. We remain focused on executing key initiatives in 2026, including closing the pending NGL sale and realizing $100 million of contribution between Cactus III synergies and capturing efficiencies across our system. The combination of these internal initiatives coupled with a healthy oil macro backdrop positions Plains with momentum into 2027 and beyond. Finally, we remain committed to financial discipline and maintaining a strong balance sheet, while continuing to return capital to unit holders,” said Willie Chiang, Chairman, CEO and President.

Financial Reporting Considerations for Pending Sale of Canadian NGL Business

On June 17, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of our NGL business in Canada (the “Canadian NGL Business”) to Keyera Corp. This transaction is expected to close in May 2026. As part of the sale, we will divest the Canadian NGL Business, which includes substantially all of our NGL assets; the NGL assets that we will retain are located in the United States.

We have determined that the operations of the Canadian NGL Business meet the criteria for classification as held for sale and for discontinued operations reporting and have applied these changes retrospectively to all periods presented. Results throughout this release specify if they are presented from continuing operations (which exclude the results of the Canadian NGL Business) and/or discontinued operations.

First-quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil increased 4% versus comparable 2025 results. Favorable results in the 2026 period from (i) contributions from recently completed bolt-on acquisitions, including our Cactus III pipeline acquisition, and (ii) higher volumes on our pipelines were partially offset by the impact of (iii) certain Permian long-haul pipeline contract rate resets.

First-quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA from NGL decreased 23% versus comparable 2025 results primarily due to lower weighted average frac spreads and reduced sales volumes from warmer weather.

Plains GP Holdings

PAGP owns an indirect non-economic controlling interest in PAA’s general partner and an indirect limited partner interest in PAA. As the control entity of PAA, PAGP consolidates PAA’s results into its financial statements, which is reflected in the condensed consolidating balance sheet and income statement tables attached hereto.

Conference Call and Webcast Instructions

PAA and PAGP will hold a joint conference call at 9:00 a.m. CT on Friday, May 8, 2026 to discuss first-quarter performance and related items.

Following the live webcast, an audio replay will be available on our website and will be accessible for a period of 365 days. Slides will be posted prior to the call at the above referenced website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures known as “non-GAAP financial measures” in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future and to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. The primary additional measures used by management are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”), Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.

Our definition and calculation of certain non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied DCF and certain other non-GAAP financial performance measures are reconciled to Net Income, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions and certain other non-GAAP financial liquidity measures are reconciled to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP) for the historical periods presented in the tables attached to this release, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. In addition, we encourage you to visit the Investor Relations section of our website at www.plains.com (navigate to the “Financials” tab, then click on “Quarterly Results”), which presents a reconciliation of our commonly used non-GAAP and supplemental financial measures. We do not reconcile non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as it is impractical to do so without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations and discontinued operations before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax (expense)/benefit from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iii) depreciation and amortization (including our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization, including write-downs related to cancelled projects and impairments, of unconsolidated entities) from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iv) gains and losses on asset sales, asset impairments and other, net from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (v) gains on investments in unconsolidated entities, net and (vi) interest income on promissory notes by and among certain Plains entities, and (vii) adjusted for certain selected items impacting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA excludes the portion of Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable to noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA disaggregated by product (e.g., Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil and Adjusted EBITDA from NGL) excludes amounts related to Other income/(expense).

Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used to supplement related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our operating performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders through cash generated by our operations and (ii) provide investors with the same financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning/budgeting decisions. We also present these and additional non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income attributable to PAA and basic and diluted adjusted net income per common unit, as they are measures that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial performance measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) gains and losses on derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), gains and losses on derivatives that are either related to investing activities (such as the purchase of linefill) or purchases of long-term inventory, and inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable, (iii) long-term inventory costing adjustments, (iv) items that are not indicative of our operating results and/or (v) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our operating performance. These measures may be further adjusted to include amounts related to deficiencies associated with minimum volume commitments whereby we have billed the counterparties for their deficiency obligation and such amounts are recognized as deferred revenue in “Other current liabilities” in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We also adjust for amounts billed by our equity method investees related to deficiencies under minimum volume commitments. Such amounts are presented net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue. Furthermore, the calculation of these measures contemplates tax effects as a separate reconciling item, where applicable. We have defined all such items as “selected items impacting comparability.” Due to the nature of the selected items, certain selected items impacting comparability may impact certain non-GAAP financial measures, referred to as adjusted results, but not impact other non-GAAP financial measures. We do not necessarily consider all of our selected items impacting comparability to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, but we believe that an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability is material to the evaluation of our operating results and prospects.

Although we present selected items impacting comparability that management considers in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions, divestitures, investment capital projects and numerous other factors. These types of variations may not be separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in management’s discussion and analysis of operating results in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Liquidity Measures

Management uses the non-GAAP financial liquidity measures Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, less Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Investing Activities, which primarily includes acquisition, investment and maintenance capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated entities and related party notes and the impact from the purchase and sale of linefill, net of proceeds from the sales of assets and further impacted by distributions to and contributions from noncontrolling interests and proceeds from the issuance of related party notes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.

We also present these measures and additional non-GAAP financial liquidity measures as they are measures that investors have indicated are useful. We present Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) for use in assessing our underlying business liquidity and cash flow generating capacity excluding fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow excluding the impact of “Changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, we exclude impacts related to the pending Canadian NGL Business divestiture. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Discontinued Operations

Management believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied DCF, Adjusted Net Income attributable to PAA, Adjusted Net Income per Common Unit, Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil and Adjusted EBITDA from NGL, and certain Non-GAAP financial liquidity measures, such as Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities), on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) provides more relevant and useful information regarding our performance and results of operations than presenting such metrics only on a continuing operations or discontinued operations basis. In addition, as the potential sale of the Canadian NGL Business is not anticipated to close until May 2026, management continues to view the Canadian NGL Business as a component of our overall company performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders in the near term.

(1) We calculate net income from continuing operations allocated to common unitholders based on the distributions pertaining to the current period’s net income. After adjusting for the appropriate period’s distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to common unitholders and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of our partnership agreement in effect for the period and as further prescribed under the two-class method.
(2) Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations allocated to common unitholders is “Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” as presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(3) The possible conversion of our Series A preferred units was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common unit from continuing operations for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 as the effect was antidilutive.
(4) Our equity-indexed compensation plan awards that contemplate the issuance of common units are considered potentially dilutive unless (i) they become vested only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. Equity-indexed compensation plan awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical common unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.

(1) Certain of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be impacted by each of the selected items impacting comparability. See the “Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF Reconciliation” and “Computation of Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Common Unit” tables for additional details on how these selected items impacting comparability affect such measures.
(2) Includes results from continuing operations and discontinued operations for all periods presented.
(3) We use derivative instruments for risk management purposes and our related processes include specific identification of hedging instruments to an underlying hedged transaction. Although we identify an underlying transaction for each derivative instrument we enter into, there may not be an accounting hedge relationship between the instrument and the underlying transaction. In the course of evaluating our results, we identify differences in the timing of earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions and exclude the related gains and losses in determining adjusted results such that the earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions impact adjusted results in the same period. In addition, we exclude gains and losses on derivatives that are related to (i) investing activities, such as the purchase of linefill, and (ii) purchases of long-term inventory. We also exclude the impact of corresponding inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable.
(4) We carry crude oil and NGL inventory that is comprised of minimum working inventory requirements in third-party assets and other working inventory that is needed for our commercial operations. We consider this inventory necessary to conduct our operations and we intend to carry this inventory for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we classify this inventory as long-term on our balance sheet and do not hedge the inventory with derivative instruments (similar to linefill in our own assets). We treat the impact of changes in the average cost of the long-term inventory (that result from fluctuations in market prices) and write-downs of such inventory that result from price declines as a selected item impacting comparability.
(5) We, and certain of our equity method investees, have certain agreements that require counterparties to deliver, transport or throughput a minimum volume over an agreed upon period. Substantially all of such agreements were entered into with counterparties to economically support the return on capital expenditure necessary to construct the related asset. Some of these agreements include make-up rights if the minimum volume is not met. We record a receivable from the counterparty in the period that services are provided or when the transaction occurs, including amounts for deficiency obligations from counterparties associated with minimum volume commitments. If a counterparty has a make-up right associated with a deficiency, we defer the revenue attributable to the counterparty’s make-up right and subsequently recognize the revenue at the earlier of when the deficiency volume is delivered or shipped, when the make-up right expires or when it is determined that the counterparty’s ability to utilize the make-up right is remote. We include the impact of amounts billed to counterparties for their deficiency obligation, net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue or equity earnings, as a selected item impacting comparability. We believe the inclusion of the contractually committed revenues associated with that period is meaningful to investors as the related asset has been constructed, is standing ready to provide the committed service and the fixed operating costs are included in the current period results.
(6) Depreciation and amortization on the long-lived assets of the Canadian NGL Business disposal group ceased upon meeting the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Implied DCF on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) provides more relevant and useful information regarding our performance and results of operations than presenting such metrics only on a continuing operations or discontinued operations basis. We therefore include an adjustment for the impact of amortization of the rail fleet associated with the Canadian NGL Business.
(7) Our total equity-indexed compensation expense includes expense associated with awards that will be settled in units and awards that will be settled in cash. The awards that will be settled in units are included in our diluted net income per unit calculation when the applicable performance criteria have been met. We consider the compensation expense associated with these awards as a selected item impacting comparability as the dilutive impact of the outstanding awards is included in our diluted net income per unit calculation, as applicable. The portion of compensation expense associated with awards that will be settled in cash is not considered a selected item impacting comparability.
(8) During the periods presented, there were fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, resulting in the realization of foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions as well as the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. The associated gains and losses are not integral to our results and were thus classified as a selected item impacting comparability.
(9) We agreed to potential earnout payments associated with recently completed acquisitions, primarily our Cactus III acquisition. We consider the non-cash change in the estimated fair value of such earnout payments as a selected item impacting comparability.
(10) Primarily related to deal-specific costs incurred during the period.
(11) In connection with the pending Canadian NGL Business divestiture, we have continued to progress certain planning and restructuring activities within our organizational structure. Certain of these activities had income tax consequences that required recognition during the first quarter of 2026. We consider the impacts related to the pending Canadian NGL Business divestiture as a selected item impacting comparability.

Forward-Looking Statements 

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this release consist of forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from results or outcomes anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the following:

risks related to the Canadian NGL Business divestiture (as defined herein), including the risk that the Canadian NGL Business divestiture is not consummated on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule, or at all, and the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Canadian NGL Business divestiture on our business relationships, operating results, employees, stakeholders and business generally;general economic, market or business conditions in the United States and elsewhere (including the potential for a recession or significant slowdown in economic activity levels, the risk of persistently high inflation and supply chain issues, the impact of global public health events, such as pandemics, on demand and growth, and the timing, pace and extent of economic recovery) that impact (i) demand for crude oil, drilling and production activities and therefore the demand for the midstream services we provide and (ii) commercial opportunities available to us;declines in global crude oil demand and/or crude oil prices or other factors that correspondingly lead to a significant reduction of North American crude oil and NGL production (whether due to reduced producer cash flow to fund drilling activities or the inability of producers to access capital, or both, the unavailability of pipeline and/or storage capacity, the shutting-in of production by producers, government-mandated pro-ration orders, or other factors), which in turn could result in significant declines in the actual or expected volume of crude oil and NGL shipped, processed, purchased, stored, fractionated and/or gathered at or through the use of our assets and/or the reduction of the margins we can earn or the commercial opportunities that might otherwise be available to us;impacts of global geopolitical events, including conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere, on commodity price volatility and crude oil supply and demand, as well as broader impacts on financial markets and the global macroeconomic environment;fluctuations in refinery capacity and other factors affecting demand for various grades of crude oil and NGL and resulting changes in pricing conditions or transportation throughput requirements;unanticipated changes in crude oil and NGL market structure, grade differentials and volatility (or lack thereof);the effects of competition and capacity overbuild in areas where we operate, including downward pressure on rates, volumes and margins, contract renewal risk and the risk of loss of business to other midstream operators who are willing or under pressure to aggressively reduce transportation rates in order to capture or preserve customers;the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or other strategic opportunities and realize benefits therefrom, including the Canadian NGL Business divestiture (as defined herein);the successful operation of joint ventures and joint operating arrangements we enter into from time to time, whether relating to assets operated by us or by third parties, and the successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses;environmental liabilities, litigation or other events that are not covered by an indemnity, insurance or existing reserves;negative societal sentiment regarding the hydrocarbon energy industry and the continued development and consumption of hydrocarbons, which could influence consumer preferences and governmental or regulatory actions that adversely impact our business;the occurrence of a natural disaster, catastrophe, terrorist attack (including eco-terrorist attacks) or other event that materially impacts our operations, including cyber or other attacks on our or our service providers’ electronic and computer systems;weather interference with business operations or project construction, including the impact of extreme weather events or conditions (including hurricanes, floods, wildfires and drought);the impact of current and future laws, rulings, legislation, governmental regulations, executive orders, trade policies, trade tariffs, accounting standards and statements, and related interpretations that (i) prohibit, restrict or regulate the development of oil and gas resources and the related infrastructure on lands dedicated to or served by our pipelines or (ii) negatively impact our ability to develop, operate or repair midstream assets, or (iii) otherwise negatively impact our business or increase our exposure to risk;negative impacts on production levels in the Permian Basin or elsewhere due to issues associated with (or laws, rules or regulations relating to) hydraulic fracturing and related activities (including wastewater injection or disposal), including earthquakes, subsidence, expansion or other issues;the pace of development of natural gas or other infrastructure and its impact on expected crude oil production growth in the Permian Basin;the refusal or inability of our customers or counterparties to perform their obligations under their contracts with us (including commercial contracts, asset sale agreements and other agreements), whether justified or not and whether due to financial constraints (such as reduced creditworthiness, liquidity issues or insolvency), market constraints, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), the exercise of contractual or common law rights that allegedly excuse their performance (such as force majeure or similar claims) or other factors;loss of key personnel and inability to attract and retain new talent;disruptions to futures markets for crude oil, NGL and other petroleum products, which may impair our ability to execute our commercial or hedging strategies;the effectiveness of our risk management activities;shortages or cost increases of supplies, materials or labor;maintenance of our credit ratings and ability to receive open credit from our suppliers and trade counterparties;our inability to perform our obligations under our contracts, whether due to non-performance by third parties, including our customers or counterparties, market constraints, third-party constraints, supply chain issues, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), or other factors or events;the incurrence of costs and expenses related to unexpected or unplanned capital or maintenance expenditures, third-party claims or other factors;failure to implement or capitalize, or delays in implementing or capitalizing, on investment capital projects, whether due to permitting delays, permitting withdrawals or other factors;failure to implement or realize anticipated benefits from operational and organizational streamlining and efficiency efforts and initiatives;tightened capital markets or other factors that increase our cost of capital or limit our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms to fund additional acquisitions, investment capital projects, working capital requirements and the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness;the amplification of other risks caused by volatile or closed financial markets, capital constraints, liquidity concerns and inflation;the use or availability of third-party assets upon which our operations depend and over which we have little or no control;the currency exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the United States dollar;the deferral of current revenue recognition attributable to deficiency payments received from customers who fail to ship or move their minimum contracted volumes;significant under-utilization of our assets and facilities;increased costs, or lack of availability, of insurance;fluctuations in the debt and equity markets, including the price of our units at the time of vesting under our long-term incentive plans;risks related to the development and operation of our assets; andother factors and uncertainties

PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Plains All American posted Q1 adjusted earnings of 39 cents per unit, missing estimates by 4.88%. PAA's revenues rose 8.65% year over year, driven partly by Cactus III pipeline acquisition synergies. PAA expects 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $2.88B and adjusted free cash flow of $1.85B. Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 39 cents per unit, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 41 cents by 4.88%. In the year-ago quarter, earnings were in line with the company’s reported figure.

The company reported GAAP earnings of 14 cents per unit compared with 49 cents in the year-ago period.

PAA’s Total RevenuesNet sales of $12.47 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $12.54 billion by 0.54%. However, the top line increased 8.65% from the year-ago quarter’s figure of $11.5 billion.

Highlights of PAA’s Earnings ReleaseTotal costs and expenses were $12.1 billion, up 8.49% year over year. The increase was primarily due to a rise in purchases and related costs.

PAA’s Segmental PerformanceThe Crude Oil segment’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $582 million, up 4% from the year-ago quarter’s figure. This increase was primarily driven by synergies from the recently completed Cactus III pipeline acquisition and bolt-on acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA for the NGL segment was $145 million, down 23% from the prior-year period’s figure. This decrease was due to lower weighted average frac spreads and NGL sales volumes in the first quarter of 2026.

AMZA jumped 158% in two years, but the math behind those $0.34 checks is fragile
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
© departmentofenergy / Flickr

If you own the InfraCap MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:AMZA) for income, the question is simple: can the fund keep cutting those $0.34 monthly checks? AMZA pays a roughly 7.5% to 8% distribution yield from a concentrated, leveraged basket of energy midstream Master Limited Partnerships, and management just raised the monthly payout from $0.29 in 2025 to $0.34 in 2026. The next 12 to 24 months look well covered, but the structure carries real long-term risk that holders should understand before relying on AMZA as a retirement paycheck.

How AMZA generates its yield AMZA is an actively managed fund holding 25 to 50 MLPs tied to U.S. pipelines and energy infrastructure. Income comes from three layers. First, the underlying MLPs (Energy Transfer, MPLX, Enterprise Products Partners, Plains All American, Kinder Morgan) pay distributions funded by long-term, fee-based “toll collector” contracts on moving and storing hydrocarbons. Second, InfraCap applies 1.25x leverage, borrowing to buy more units and amplify cash flowing back to shareholders. Third, a covered-call overlay sells options on holdings to harvest premium income.

That stack is why the yield exceeds AMLP’s, but distributions are more sensitive to oil prices, interest rates, and volatility. The fund issues a 1099 instead of a K-1, which is why many retirees pick it over individual MLPs.

The cash flow picture Conditions for the underlying MLPs are strong. WTI crude is almost $110 a barrel, in the 98th percentile of the past year, after recovering from a December low near $55. High prices alone do not guarantee MLP cash flow (these are volume businesses), but they keep producers drilling and pipelines full. Surging power demand from AI data centers and LNG exports means toll collectors are running at strong utilization.

Monthly payouts have stepped up every year since 2022: $0.22, then $0.24, $0.26, $0.29, and now $0.34. Coverage looks credible enough that InfraCap raised the rate by roughly 17% heading into 2026, and four consecutive months at $0.34 have already been declared and paid.

Where the risk lives Three issues deserve weight. The expense ratio is 2.75%, more than three times the 0.85% charged by the Alerian MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:AMLP). On a six-figure position, that gap compounds into thousands of dollars a year of lost yield.

Leverage cuts both ways. The same 1.25x that boosts distributions makes AMZA’s NAV swing harder when energy rolls over, and borrowing costs rise with the 10-year Treasury. The fund’s tax accounting is lumpy: in April 2026 InfraCap booked a $6.6 million deferred tax liability reduction worth about $0.68 per share, after an August 2025 accrual of roughly $0.14 per share. Those revisions move NAV unpredictably because they rely on delayed MLP reporting.

Total return reality Yield without price context can mislead. AMZA shares are at about $46, up 22% over one year and 158% over five years. AMLP, the unleveraged peer, is up 20% over one year and 131% over five. AMZA has earned its higher fee in this cycle. Over ten years, AMZA is up 77% versus AMLP’s 106%, a reminder that leverage and decay erode total return when the cycle turns.

The verdict The $0.34 monthly payout looks safe through the next handful of quarters. Underlying MLP cash flows are healthy, oil is firm, AI-driven energy demand keeps hydrocarbon volumes elevated, and management is raising rather than trimming. The danger is structural: a sustained drop below $70 oil, a spike in financing costs, or another tax adjustment can pressure NAV faster than distributions. AMZA fits an income investor who wants 1099 simplicity and accepts leverage and a 2.75% fee. Cost-conscious holders who want the same midstream thesis with less drag should weigh AMLP instead.

Plains All American Pipeline and Plains GP Holdings Announce Completion of Canadian NGL Divestiture
PAA Plains All American Pipeline
FMP Stock News
Original source text
HOUSTON, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) (collectively, “Plains”) completed the previously announced sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Plains Midstream Canada ULC, the PAA subsidiary that owns substantially all of PAA’s natural gas liquids (NGL) business (the “Canadian NGL Business”) to Keyera Corp., an Alberta Corporation (“Keyera”), pursuant to the terms of a definitive Share Purchase Agreement dated as of June 17, 2025 (the “SPA”).

Net cash proceeds from the sale were approximately $3.3 billion (net of purchase price adjustments, taxes and other related costs) and will be used to repay certain outstanding indebtedness and for other general partnership purposes. Post closing, Plains expects its leverage ratio to trend toward the middle of its targeted range of 3.25 to 3.75x. As previously disclosed, Plains does not anticipate paying a special distribution following the closing as the tax liability to unitholders resulting from the NGL divestiture is expected to be mitigated by bonus depreciation from the Cactus III acquisition.

“We are excited to finalize this transaction which completes our transformation to a premier pure play crude oil midstream company. Moving forward, our business should be more durable with less commodity price volatility, and our free cash flow will be supported by reduced maintenance capital and lower corporate taxes. Our remaining crude footprint is highly competitive with integrated assets spanning from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Our asset portfolio offers customers optionality to reach multiple destinations, including Corpus Christi, which serves as the primary U.S. oil export market. We believe recent geopolitical events enhance the value of existing infrastructure in North America and Plains is well positioned to capture this value and deliver on our commitment of driving efficient growth through capital discipline, maintaining a strong balance sheet and returning capital to unitholders,” said Willie Chiang, Chairman, CEO and President.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this release consist of forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated operational, financial and strategic benefits resulting from the sale of Plains’ NGL business to Keyera Corp.

These risks and uncertainties include, among other things: changes in or disruptions to economic, market or business conditions; substantial declines in commodity prices or demand for crude oil; third-party constraints; legal constraints (including the impact of governmental regulations, orders or policies); and other factors and uncertainties inherent in transactions of the type discussed herein or in our business as discussed in PAA’s and PAGP’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Given the current weakness in ET’s share price, will it be a correct choice to add this oil-energy stock to your portfolio? Let us delve deeper and find out the factors that can help investors decide whether it is a good entry point to add ET stock to their portfolio.

Factors That Are Acting as a Tailwind for ET’s OperationsEnergy Transfer owns and operates more than 140,000 miles of pipelines and related infrastructure across 44 U.S. states. Its diversified asset portfolio, including oil and gas pipelines, gathering and processing systems, and storage facilities, is strategically located in major production basins and high-growth demand markets, supporting stable and resilient earnings.

The company’s broad midstream network enables efficient service across multiple end markets, while its strong customer base and predominantly fee-based business model provide earnings stability. Nearly 90% of revenues are derived from transportation and storage fees, significantly reducing exposure to commodity price volatility.

The firm continues to expand through organic growth initiatives, accretive acquisitions and strategic partnerships. Supported by a strong asset base, Energy Transfer has NGL export capacity exceeding 1.4 million barrels per day and is further enhancing capabilities through expansions at the Marcus Hook and Nederland export terminals. The company currently accounts for nearly 20% of global NGL exports and is well positioned to leverage its LNG export capacity to serve international buyers amid ongoing Middle-East tensions.

In the first quarter, the firm placed its Gateway NGL Pipeline debottlenecking project into service, enabling higher deliveries of Delaware Basin volumes to Energy Transfer’s NGL fractionation complex at Mont Belvieu. The firm is planning to invest in the range of $5.5-$5.9 billion in growth projects in 2026, which will further strengthen its infrastructure.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.

Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.

It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
