"Miller/Howard is tactically repositioning its infrastructure portfolio to capture massive data center-driven natural gas demand while actively reducing exposure to oil beta and regulatory headwinds."
Executive Summary
In the 2Q 2025 Quarterly Report, Miller/Howard Investments highlights that while the quarter began with volatility from tariff announcements, the market rallied as fears subsided. The portfolio's infrastructure holdings remained relatively stable but lagged a highly concentrated megacap growth market. To optimize the portfolio, the firm initiated a position in Xcel Energy (XEL) and added to Waste Connections (WCN), TC Energy (TRP), and Kinder Morgan (KMI) to capitalize on rising natural gas demand from data centers and exports. Conversely, they exited AES Corp (AES) and trimmed ONEOK (OKE) and Targa Resources (TRGP) to reduce oil beta and mitigate tariff, IRA, and recession headwinds. Over the past 15 years, assets under management in global listed infrastructure have grown ninefold, highlighting the sector's long-term liquidity and transparency value.
