ET Stock Recent News

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy Transfer LP (“ET”) today announced the quarterly cash distribution of $0.2111 per Series I Preferred Unit (NYSE: ETprI). The cash distribution for the Series I unitholders will be paid on August 14, 2025 to Series I unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 4, 2025. Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) owns and operates one of the largest and most diversified portfolios of energy assets in the United States, with approximately 140,000 miles of pipeline.

Energy Transfer's bullish momentum has stalled since the early 2025 peak. Market skepticism has likely centered on execution risks and persistent sector weakness, but upcoming earnings could clarify management's confidence in growth and EBITDA guidance. Growth CapEx is set to decline after 2025, helping to improve the cash flow visibility that helps underpin its thesis for income investors.

Following a brief dip earlier this year driven by tariff concerns, the S&P 500 has resumed its rally as those fears faded. As a result, we now find the broad market index fetching nearly 22 times its forward earnings.

In the closing of the recent trading day, Energy Transfer LP (ET) stood at $17.24, denoting a -1.32% move from the preceding trading day.

Cash yields may vanish within 12 months if Trump pressures Fed to cut rates by 300 basis points. High-income CEFs like UTG, BUI, and ADX offer equity-based, rate-sensitive yield without excessive leverage or junk padding. MLPs ET and EPD provide tax-advantaged ROC income with long-term power demand tailwinds from AI and data centers.

Energy Transfer (ET -0.23%) isn't a flashy name, but it has one of the best risk-reward profiles in the market right now and a high yield. It's one of the largest holdings in my portfolio.
