"Miller/Howard is strategically rotating its Midstream portfolio away from crude and into natural gas names to capitalize on electrification and data center demand, relying on resilient dividend distributions to navigate a volatile macro tape."
Executive Summary
In their 2Q 2025 quarterly report, Miller/Howard Investments notes that despite a challenging macro environment defined by commodity volatility, tariff concerns, and recession fears, the midstream sector remains strong and continues to outperform the broader market year-to-date. The portfolio managers executed a tactical shift away from crude exposure (selling OKE, trimming TRGP and PAGP) toward natural gas-focused operators (initiating KMI, increasing ENB, WMB, and GEL) to capture strong structural demand from data centers and electrification. A historical lookback reaffirms that dividend yield constitutes the primary and most reliable engine of long-term midstream returns.
