Week Thoughts on MLPs

Equity offerings, earnings releases, distribution announcements, and some M&A…busy week for MLPs. I’m still digesting it all, and if my son didn’t throw up all over himself (and the car-seat) on the way to school and if my mother in law didn’t break my kitchen sink this afternoon, I might have had more time to read today, and have more thoughts.  Earnings have been pretty good as far as I can tell, distribution announcements very encouraging as well.
Generally, MLPs had a good week and a good month, but in both cases, underperformed the S&P 500, and had the benefit of interest rate tailwinds.

So happy Spring is finally here, feels good to shoot hoops in the backyard without a sweatshirt on…have a good weekend everyone.

Week Thoughts: Midstream Trypophobia Midstream stocks took cues from the broad market this week, drifting lower early in the week before mounting a comeback later in the week, including a big Friday after the robust jobs report.

Decadence to Decay: a Decade of MLPguy As of this week, I have now been publishing thoughts on MLPs at MLPguy.com for more than 10 years. The usual end of the year reflection in the media and among investors will be magnified arbitrarily this year by the end of the decade.

Midstream Week Thoughts: Groundhog Day for Thanksgiving Monday was positive for midstream, capping a rare 3-day run of positive performance. But apathy reigned the rest of the week, as Midstream and MLPs traded down the rest of the holiday-shortened week.

Week Thoughts: Midstream Flattish, Finishes on Positive Note Midstream was almost positive week over week, but had to settle for two days of positive performance in a row.

Week Thoughts: Mariner Makes Midstream Mixed Midstream stocks were mixed across categories, with Canadian midstream outperformance offset by MLP weakness, but overall finished positive for the week, helped by broad market strength and income stock strength.
MLPguy Post
Week Thoughts: Midstream Captures More Downside The slow bleed in midstream continued this week. MLPs again lagged broader the Midstream Index (AMNA), because of Canadian midstream and a few large U.S. corporations. Higher commodity prices and strong broader equity market trading weren’t enough to get midstream moving higher...

Week Thoughts: Midstream Earnings Hit, Stocks Miss Midstream and MLPs were slight underperformers among energy stocks (XOP and XLE were largely flat) and underperformed general equities (as measured by S&P 500), which rallied 1.5%. Earnings, ex-dates for distributions and month-end strangeness whipped things around a bit in between a basically flat week.
MLPguy Post
Week Thoughts: MLPs Less Travelled Midstream basically kept pace with the broader market this week, while MLPs underperformed, again. Oil prices and broader equities were supportive, but that wasn’t enough to get MLPs moving ahead of EPD results Monday to kick off the meat of 3Q reporting season.
MLPguy Post
Week Thoughts: Midstream Inaction Quiet week in the stock market this week, which translated into a quiet week for midstream as well. The AMNA finished basically unchanged, while the MLP Index was slightly lower.
MLPguy Post
Week Thoughts: MLPs Brace for Earnings Midstream was negative across the board this week, and the MLP Index lost more ground to the other midstream indexes that include corporations. Lower oil prices, higher interest rates and general aversion to energy stocks were likely reasons for continued weakness for the sector.

Week Thoughts: Macro Noise Offsets MLP News After 5 straight negative days last week, midstream had three positive days this week, including an intra-day reversal Thursday and a positive Friday.

Status Update: Midstream Green in September Given the end of the month and quarter fell on a Monday, I wanted to get a quick post out with updated month and quarter end numbers. I hope you’ll understand if the upcoming weekly post is a bit shorter as a result.

Week Thoughts: MLPs Selloff On Purpose Risk was definitively off this week across energy stocks, commodities and the broader stock market. Naturally, utilities and REITs caught a bid, and midstream did not. Within midstream, Canada held up well and helped AMNA outperform the AMZ and AMUS.

Week Thoughts: Scarcity Value Rally in MLPs Midstream stocks outpaced the S&P 500 and utilities this week in the face of falling oil prices and rising interest rates. MLPs were the best performers within midstream, benefitting from the “value rally”...

Week Thoughts: Market Advances, Midstream Unmoved It was a short, but steady week for midstream, helped by strong Canadian midstream performance that more than offset weakness from MLPs. Midstream stocks underperformed utilities and the S&P 500...

Week Thoughts: Takeout Bid Stops Midstream Bleeding Midstream broke out of its 6-week slump this week, helped by a private equity bid lobbed in Tuesday night, but also helped by risk-on broad market action and rebounding commodity prices.

Week Thoughts: Midstream Checked, Market Unbalanced Midstream stocks declined for a 6th straight week, this time joined by a pretty scary broad stock market decline on Friday. Broad market fear appears to be joining the energy sector antipathy and midstream apathy we’ve seen all summer.

Five Years Since Midstream Peak: Universe Update and In Memoriam The end of next week, the last trading day of August, will be the 5-year anniversary of the peak of the Alerian MLP Index.

Week Thoughts: Yield Inversion, Midstream Aversion Midstream stocks were down inline with broad equities this week, after a rally Friday that almost salvaged the week. It was a 4th straight negative week for midstream, and the MLP Index (on a price basis) now sits 11.3% lower than its high for the quarter reached in mid-July.
MLPguy Post
Week Thoughts: Un-Navigable Midstream Midstream and MLP stock performance accelerated to the downside this week, finishing with bigger losses this week than last week. It was also the 4th consecutive negative week for midstream, the longest such streak since late December.
MLPguy Post
Week Thoughts: Midstream De-Rated It was an inauspicious start to August for the stock market, for oil prices, and for the midstream sector due to the overriding influence of interest rates and tariff rates this week. MLPs had their second worst week of the year and worst week since early February.
MLPguy Post
Week Thoughts: Midstream Flagging into Earnings Barrage Midstream started the week strong Monday, but the bounce back was short-lived as midstream sold off each of the remaining days of the week, even as oil prices stabilized and the broad market rallied. Canada and a few larger corporations dragged down broader midstream indexes relative to the MLP Index, which continues to hold up well in a backdrop of upstream carnage.

Week Thoughts: Sweltering Energy Discontent Hits Midstream Midstream stocks, and MLPs in particular, held up ok this week, all things considered. This week saw a combination of negative macro forces converge to crush energy stocks more broadly.
