"While rising capex and weak gas prices present near-term headwinds, secular tailwinds from AI data centers and electrification position midstream energy and MLPs for substantial long-term cash flow growth."
Executive Summary
In the 3Q 2025 quarterly report, Miller/Howard Investments expresses a constructive outlook on the MLP and midstream energy sector. Despite near-term headwinds like rising capex compressing free cash flows, weaker natural gas prices, and flat immediate stock performance, the structural demand tailwinds remain robust. Major drivers include electrification, data centers, and LNG exports. To optimize the portfolio, the fund trimmed positions in core holdings Enbridge (ENB) and Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) to fund additions to Hess Midstream (HESM) and Genesis Energy (GEL), seeking to capture attractive yields and impending free cash flow inflection points.
