Energy Transfer LP ET
Energy Transfer LP is a US energy infrastructure (midstream) company that operates an extensive network of oil and gas pipelines for the transportation, storage, and processing of natural gas, crude oil, and refined products. Energy Transfer trades at an EV/EBITDA of 9.19 and an FCF yield of 4.54%, suggesting a reasonable valuation for a midstream with stable cash flows. The strong revenue and earnings growth (78.4% and 85.3%) reflects the peak of the energy cycle, but its critical infrastructure network and 6.74% dividend offer a defensive profile within the sector.

Context and risks
The surge in crude oil and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz increase demand for crude and gas transportation and storage infrastructure in the US, directly benefiting ET's pipeline network. However, a potential geopolitical de-escalation could quickly reverse this premium, adding volatility to the business.

Verdict: Hold or accumulate on dips; the valuation is attractive, but current growth is not sustainable in the long term.
Main risk: The high leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 4.04) and dependence on the energy cycle: a normalization of crude prices or a de-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz could compress margins and growth, impacting cash generation and the dividend.
