Best Heal Care Stocks To Watch For 2019: Crestwood Equity Partners LP(CEQP)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP) was by far the best-performing master limited partnership (MLP) in 2018. While the average MLP tracked by the Alerian MLP ETF delivered a negative total return last year, Crestwood’s total return was an exceptional 17%. Driving that outperformance was a noticeable recovery in the company’s financial results.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    On top of the opportunities already embedded within BP that BP Midstream could acquire, there’s also the potential for it to build or buy other assets to support BP’s growth in the states. That’s what Shell Midstream did last year when it acquired a stake in the Nautilus gas gathering system developed by Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP), which it started building to support Shell’s fast-growing production from the Permian Basin. Crestwood and Shell Midstream will now work together to expand that footprint to meet Shell’s needs in the future. BP could potentially seek out similar arrangements with midstream companies to support its growth after agreeing to spend $10.5 billion to bulk up its shale business earlier this year. BP Midstream could also participate in the development of long-haul pipelines to move production out of those regions, leaving it with no shortage of opportunities to expand.

    Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP) offers an even more attractive yield at 7.5%, which it can comfortably cover with cash flow. However, unlike the others on this list, Crestwood Equity doesn’t expect to increase its payout this year. That’s because the MLP currently plans to plow all its excess cash into its growing slate of expansion projects, which should give the company the fuel to grow its cash flow at a more-than-15% annual rate through 2020. Once it’s past this heavy investment phase, Crestwood Equity should be in a better position to return more cash to investors. In the meantime, it offers a sustainable high yield with some enticing upside.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP) is in the midst of a multi-year strategy to improve its financial profile even as it restarts its growth engine. That plan has already paid dividends for investors as the company generated high-end results in 2018, which enabled it to deliver market-crushing total returns.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP), Oasis Midstream Partners (NYSE:OMP), and Hess Midstream Partners (NYSE:HESM) are far from household names. Because of that, most investors probably missed the fact that these high-yielding master limited partnerships (MLPs) have been red-hot this year. However, while all have delivered strong returns in 2018, each one still has plenty of fuel left in the tank to continue providing outsized gains in the coming years, which is why investors won’t want to keep overlooking the potential of these pipeline companies.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    The best high-yield stocks share three common characteristics: They generate steady cash flow, have a conservative payout ratio, and possess a solid balance sheet. Three companies that comfortably fit that profile are Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD), MPLX (NYSE:MPLX), and Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP). Not only that, but this trio of midstream master limited partnerships (MLPs) takes things a step further by having visible growth coming down the pipeline, which makes them excellent income stocks to buy right now.

    Arrow Electronics (NYSE:ARW) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a buy rating to a hold rating. According to Zacks, “Arrow Electronics reported better-than-expected results for first-quarter 2018. The figures also came above the mid-point of the company’s guidance ranges and marked year-over-year improvement. Moreover, the electronic component distributor provided an optimistic guidance for second-quarter 2018. We believe that the company’s core strength in providing best-in-class services and easy-to-acquire technologies should drive growth in the long run. Moreover, the company has secured a significant market share through a broad portfolio of products and services, and continued efforts to maximize consumer satisfaction. Additionally, incremental sales from strategic acquisitions and partnerships are expected to boost the top line. However, an uncertain economic environment, high debt burden and competition remain the concerns. Notably, the stock has outperformed the industry in the last one year.”

    This award-winning company looks poised to come in strong for the quarter. Arrow Electronics Inc. (NYSE: ARW) is a worldwide provider of products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions.

Best Medical Stocks To Own Right Now: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.(WMT)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Demitrios Kalogeropoulos]

    However, that expansion pace likely slowed at the start of 2018, as it has for other major retailers that have reported earnings recently, including Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Home Depot. Furthermore, executives have warned that this fiscal year will show another decline in profitability as Target shifts toward a more digitally focused business.

    In fact, JD now has three international giants supporting its efforts, with Google adding its name to a list that includes Tencent Holdings (NASDAQOTH: TCEHY) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT).

Top Energy Stocks To Invest In 2019

One of the greatest strategies for investors is cultivating a watchlist. Personally, keeping a list of stocks under constant supervision has mitigated the probability that I’ll overreact and execute trades on a whim, without investigating them adequately. 

In all likelihood, some stocks may never make it off the list. For example, as much as I’m rooting for Tesla to succeed in reimagining the transportation landscape, the stock has remained on my radar for years — never the subject of a buy order — and I realize it may linger on said watchlist indefinitely.

Beyond that, there are numerous stocks, like IAMGOLD (NYSE: IAG) and FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ: FCEL), which I’m certain will not only remain absent from my portfolio but from my watchlist as well. Here’s why:

Top Energy Stocks To Invest In 2019: Crestwood Equity Partners LP(CEQP)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]

    Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE:CEQP) isn’t a household name, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth getting to know a little better. In fact, the midstream partnership is working with a few companies you may have heard of before, like New York utility Consolidated Edison, Inc. (NYSE:ED). And while leverage is an issue to watch, partnering up with companies like Con Ed should allow Crestwood to keep growing while keeping leverage to a minimum. Here’s some of the details you’ll want to know if Crestwood’s 7.5% distribution yield interests you.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Four that stand out are Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP), TerraForm Power (NASDAQ:TERP), Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (NYSE:BIP), and W.P. Carey (NYSE:WPC). Not only does each currently offer more than double the yield of the average bank CD and stock in the S&P, but those income streams are likely to grow in the coming years.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Crestwood Equity Partners’ (NYSE:CEQP) first-quarter results once again showed that it’s heading in the right direction. As a result, the company is on pace to create significant value for investors over the next couple of years. That was the key message CEO Bob Phillips wanted to get across on the accompanying conference call, where he laid out four reasons why he thinks the company is an extremely compelling investment opportunity right now.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    While Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP) isn’t a well-known name, it should be, especially by income-seeking investors. That’s because the high-yielding master limited partnership (MLP) offers an increasingly compelling combination of current income and future upside backed by strong financial metrics and clearly visible growth prospects. The company’s strong core and upside potential was on full display during the first quarter, which once again showed that this is an excellent income stock to own for the long haul. 

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Meanwhile, Williams Companies recently announced several strategic moves that position it for additional growth. First, the company and its 50-50 joint venture partner, Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP), agreed to expand their Jackalope Gas Gathering System and the associated Bucking Horse gas processing plant in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin to support the growth of Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK). Williams and Crestwood expect to finish the first phase of this expansion by the end of 2019, which coincides with Chesapeake’s plan to double its output from the region in the next year. They also noted that further expansions of the system might be needed soon, since regional growth could use up all its capacity by 2021.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    First, the company and its joint venture (JV) partner Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP) approved the expansion of their Jackalope gathering and processing business in the Powder River Basin. The expansion projects will supply Williams with some incremental cash flow as they come on line over the next year, while giving the smaller Crestwood some additional fuel to help grow its earnings at a 15% compound annual rate through 2020.

Hot Blue Chip Stocks To Invest In 2019

Leave a reply

"Short Sellers Retreat Amid Rally," ran the headline in the Wall Street Journal.   Curious readers stopped and stared. It was the premise of the headline that arrested them. Who knew that there was even one bear left to give ground at the 100-month mark of the post-2008 levitation?   El toro is the topic at hand. It's a most unusual bull market (we count as one the updrafts in stocks and bonds). An unzestful, low-volume, and low-volatility affair, it seems to belong on a psychiatrist's couch. We write to catalogue its singularities with the purpose of addressing the always pertinent question: What to do with money besides enjoy it?   No. 1 is the zest deficit. Since the S&P 500 Index bottomed at an intraday low of 666.79 on March 6, 2009, the blue chips have appreciated by 271%. The country has grown, too, although – famously – the economic expansion leaves much to be desired. Trailing 12-month earnings for the S&P 500 peaked in the third quarter of 2014, and disappointments abound in the data that purport to measure growth in GDP and productivity.

    Stock No. 5: That leads us to our “L” stock, and L is Live Nation (NYSE:LYV). This is the company that was formed by a merger of Live Nation, the concert venue and rock-star-promoting business that it is. So many musicians, today, of course, make most of their money on tours, since the sale of CDs, you might have noticed, has dropped off a cliff in recent years. Live Nation, then, bought a merger with Ticketmaster, so this is the company that sells you the tickets to come into its venues to watch the entertainment that it’s promoting. It’s a tremendously powerful model.

    This has major financial institutions issuing warnings ahead of one of the biggest technological shifts in the history of the world.

    The Top Cryptocurrency Stories for Wednesday
    Yesterday, one of Bitcoin’s biggest proponents once again released an extremely bullish outlook on the cryptocurrency. Billionaire investor Tim Draper said Tuesday that “Bitcoin is bigger than the Internet,” and he also said its influence will be even bigger than the Industrial Revolution, the Renaissance, and the Iron Age. The statement comes after he released a recent price target of $250,000 by 2022. Not everyone is buying into Bitcoin’s post-tax season rally. Bill Harris, the former CEO of PayPal Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: PYPL) and Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), sounded off Tuesday in an op-ed piece titled “Bitcoin Is the Greatest Scam in History.” Harris called the cryptocurrency a “colossal pump-and-dump scheme” that has no precedent on the world stage. Bitcoin proponents immediately took to social media and online blogs to refute Harris’ arguments. Forbes contributor Kyle Torpey vented that Harris’ focus was misguided and took special issue with his claim that “Bitcoin has no value.” The crypto world has identified JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon as public enemy No. 1. Computer security pioneer and cryptocurrency guruJohn McAfeecalled out Dimon for attempting – and failing – to “end crypto.” McAfee lobbed a slew of accusations at the big banker via Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR). Finally, it wouldn’t be another day in the cryptocurrency markets without another unprovoked threat to Bitcoin. The latest comes from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In a recent issue of the MIT Technology Review, writers presented three scenarios that could “destroy Bitcoin.” The scenarios include a “government takeover” of the cryptocurrency, the “tokenization of everything” that involves a massive influx of tokens and makes Bitcoin less valuable, and a mas

Drilling down into the numbers

Crestwood Equity Partners worked hard to turn around its business over the past few years after finding itself in a tight spot when oil prices started crashing. Those efforts are beginning to pay off, as evidenced by its first-quarter results:

As that chart shows, Crestwood’s underlying earnings improved nearly 12% versus the year-ago period, which is impressive considering that the company recently sold its U.S. Salt business to give it more cash to finance additional growth projects. The company more than made up for that lost income by capturing higher volumes on its legacy systems and benefiting from recently completed expansion projects.

While distributable cash flow declined during the quarter, that’s a bit deceiving. That’s because Crestwood issued preferred units last year to help finance some of its expansion projects. As a result, the company paid those investors out of its cash flow, which cut into the money it could have distributed to common unitholders, though it still generated enough to cover its 8.5%-yielding payout by a comfortable 1.25 times. Further, if we adjust for the payments to preferred investors, distributable cash flow would have increased 13.4% year over year.

Driving the improvement in earnings was Crestwood’s gathering and processing (G&P) segment.

A chart showing Crestwood's earnings by segment in the first quarter of 2018 and 2017.

Data source: Crestwood Equity Partners. Chart by the author. In millions of dollars.

Overall, G&P earnings leaped 23% versus the year-ago quarter thanks to a big uptick in volumes across Crestwood’s systems in the Bakken, Delaware Basin, Powder River Basin, and southwest Marcellus. The company saw a 32% improvement in gas processing volumes, and 17% increases in both oil and natural gas volumes gathered. Expansion projects helped drive this growth, including finishing the Nautilus gathering system in the DelawareBasin last June and recent growth projects on the Arrowhead system in the Bakken.

Partially offsetting this growth were weaker results in the company’s storage and transportation (S&T) business as well as its marketing, supply, and logistics segment. S&T declined mainly because of lower oil volumes by rail at its COLT Hub, which more than offset a 10% increase in gas volumes flowing through its Stagecoach joint venture with Consolidated Edison (NYSE:ED). Meanwhile, earnings from marketing, supply, and logistics declined mostly because of the sale of the U.S. Salt business.

A look at what’s ahead

While Crestwood’s first-quarter results were good, the future looks even better because the company has several expansion projects under way that should enter service in the coming quarters. CEO Robert Phillips ran through the list, stating:

By the end of the second quarter we expect to place our Orla Express Pipeline and Orla Processing Plant in-service in the Delaware Basin, where Willow Lake volumes have been running near capacity and six rigs are currently active on our Nautilus system. By the end of the third quarter, we will be completing the 2018 Arrow debottlenecking projects increasing oil, gas and water capacity in the Bakken. By the end of the fourth quarter, we anticipate completing the next phase of Jackalope processing and system expansions to support near-term rising volume forecasts in the Powder River Basin.

In addition to the cash flow growth from these projects, the company’s S&T segment will benefit from a 5% cash distribution step-up from its Stagecoach joint venture with Consolidated Edison in the third quarter. Because of these factors, Phillips stated the company “will begin to materially grow Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow in the second half of 2018 and full-year 2019.”

That high-octane growth will provide even more support for the company’s lucrative distribution while further improving a balance sheet that already boasts a comfortable 3.9 times leverage ratio. The upcoming improvement in cash flow gives the company several options for creating additional value for investors in the coming years, including investing in more high-return expansions, increasing its distribution, paying down debt, or even repurchasing some of its common or preferred equity. Those options position the company to “drive meaningful total returns for our unitholders over the next few years,” according to Phillips, which makes Crestwood a very compelling income stock for investors to consider buying.

    Fashion is already a tough play on the stock market. Once-popular labels likeMichael Kors(NYSE:KORS) andCoach(NYSE:COH) have tumbled recently as their brands seem to have become diluted in a highly competitive handbag market.

    Murphy USA (MUSA) first caught my attention after Southeastern Asset Management acquired a massive stake ($668mm) in its former parent company Murphy Oil Corporation (MUR) in Q1 2013. One thing about Murphy Oil Corporation I noticed after an initial glance through their 10-K and annual report was its ownership of a valuable fuel and convenience retailer segment with high ROIC, valuable real estate, low CAPEX requirements, and relatively decent growth prospects that was under-followed and whose underlying value was concealed by the parent company’s core production and exploration business.

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Flexing the barbell strategy to balance Safe Havens with more cyclical exposures. In our view, industrials investors should be positioning their portfolio with a barbell strategy, with half of the exposure in Safe Havens like General Electric, Xylem (XYL), Danaher, Honeywell International, Roper Technologies (ROP), and AMETEK (AME), and the other half selectively in the cyclical names that are better positioned today, such as Pentair, HD Supply Holdings (HDS),Actuant (ATU), Atkore International Group (ATKR), Ingersoll-Rand, and Eaton (ETN). We still believe risk-reward is mostly balanced and that the macro will remain choppy into 2017, supporting a positioning in the defensive names. But if investor sentiment improves on not-worse news and earnings results, the more cyclical names could fare better.

It was a mixed day for stocks as blue chips managed to squeak out a gain and small-caps got crushed ahead of tomorrow’s Fed announcement.

Keith Bedford for The Wall Street Journal

The S&P 500 fell 0.2% to 2,015.93 today, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 22.40 points, or 0.1%, to 17,251.53. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.5% to 4,728.67. The Russell 2000 tumbled 1.6% to 1,066.67, the first time since Sept. 2011 that the small-company benchmark fell by at least 1.5% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished higher.

The folks at Bespoke Investment Group consider the Russell 2000′s underperformance versus the S&P 500 this year:

Including today, the S&P 500 is down 1.6%, while the Russell 2000 is down 6.1%. Todays underperformance in small caps is just a continuation of what has been an extremely consistent trend of daily underperformance this year.

Top 10 Blue Chip Stocks To Invest In 2019: JAKKS Pacific, Inc.(JAKK)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Roberto Pedone]

    One under-$10 toy player that’s trending very close to triggering a major breakout trade is Jakks Pacific (JAKK), which is a producer and marketer of children’s toys and other consumer products. This stock has been destroyed by the bears so far in 2013, with shares off sharply by 60%.

    If you take a look at the chart for Jakks Pacific, you’ll notice that this stock has been downtrending badly for the last two months and change, with shares plunging from its high of $11.75 to its recent low of $4.82 a share. During that downtrend, shares of JAKK have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of JAKK look like they might be ready to see an end to its downside volatility in the short-term if the recent lows can hold. I believe this due to the fact that JAKK has started to move sideways and trend within range of triggering a major breakout trade.

    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in JAKK if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $5.08 to $5.27 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 695,817 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then JAKK will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $5.68 to its 50-day moving average at $6.07 a share. Any high-volume move above its 50-day will then put $7 to $8 into range for shares of JAKK.

    Traders can look to buy JAKK off weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at $4.87 to $4.82 a share. One can also buy JAKK off strength once it clears those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
