Summary · why it matters

The Motley Fool suggests that investors nervous about the tech stock frenzy consider three steady, high-yield master limited partnership pipeline stocks: Energy Transfer, Enterprise Products Partners, and Western Midstream. Energy Transfer offers a 7.2% yield and trades at a forward enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple of 8.3, with growth projects like the Hugh Brinson and Desert Southwest Pipelines expected to generate high-teens returns. Enterprise Products Partners has increased its distribution for 27 straight years, yields 6%, and trades at a forward EV/EBITDA multiple of 10.5, while maintaining low leverage of 3.2x and a strong balance sheet. Western Midstream yields 8.7%, trades at a forward EV/EBITDA multiple under 9, and is expanding its natural gas and crude gathering footprint in the Delaware Basin through the Brazos Delaware acquisition, with leverage of only 3x.
