Attention, Income Investors: It's Time to Load Up on Energy Transfer Stock
2026-02-20 05:04:00 ET
When a company badly misses Wall Street's earnings estimates, its stock usually takes a beating. But that didn't happen with Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) after the midstream energy leader announced its 2025 fourth-quarter results on Tuesday morning.
Energy Transfer reported Q4 earnings per share of $0.25, well below the consensus estimate of $0.36 among analysts surveyed by S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) . However, the unit price of the master limited partnership (MLP) stock closed down on Tuesday less than 1%.
How did Energy Transfer seemingly defy gravity? The company's overall story was better than its Q4 earnings snapshot indicates. I think this stock's strength underscores something important for income investors: It's time to load up on Energy Transfer. Here are three reasons why.
