Best Energy Stocks To Buy For 2019: Shell Midstream Partners, L.P.(SHLX)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Most investors have probably heard of energy giants Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS-A) (NYSE:RDS-B), Dominion Energy (NYSE:D), and TransCanada (NYSE:TRP). Fewer, however, are likely familiar with their publicly traded master limited partnerships (MLPs): Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE:SHLX), Dominion Energy Midstream Partners (NYSE:DM), and TC Pipelines (NYSE:TCP). That might be a good thing, as the market has beaten up the latter trio this year, sending their valuations south.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Many of the best dividend growth stocks give their investors a raise each year. However, some companies take that to another level by handing their investors more money every single quarter. Three companies with a history of putting more money into their investors’ pockets every three months are Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE:SHLX), Western Gas Partners (NYSE:WES), and Valero Energy Partners (NYSE:VLP).

    There’s an interesting dichotomy here, however. Crestwood was looking to stay financially disciplined, but it also needed to invest to grow. Doing both at the same time is difficult, which is why it partnered up with Con Ed in the Marcellus region, Shell Midstream Partners LP (NYSE:SHLX) and First Reserve in the Delaware Basin, and Williams Partners (NYSE:WPZ) in the Powder River basin. These agreements allow Crestwood to keep expanding its business without having to foot the entire bill for the investments.

Top 10 Heal Care Stocks To Watch For 2019

Last week, I warned you to watch out for the lie about stocks.
 
This week, I want to warn you about the interest-rates lie…
 
Most people think interest rates are about to go dramatically higher.
 
But they aren't going to go dramatically higher. They CAN'T go dramatically higher.
 
Even the Federal Reserve – which recently raised short-term interest rates to 1.50%-1.75% – said in late March that it will raise short-term interest rates to 3.4% by 2020.
 
The Fed is lying…
 
It can't possibly raise interest rates that high. It would cause the next Great Recession.
 
I understand why the Fed wants to raise interest rates. It wants to "normalize" interest rates to what we are used to… It wants to have the ability to lower them if the economy starts to struggle again.

    I think there are four primary arguments for buying Biogen stock. One is the company’s soon-to-be blockbuster drug Spinraza. The spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) drug, which Biogen licensed from Ionis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:IONS), won Food and Drug Administration approval near the end of 2016. Spinrazadidn’t quite hit the $1 billion sales level in 2017, but it’s on track to easily top the magic sales mark this year.

Best Performing Stocks To Invest In 2019

Leave a reply

Now that the cloud of uncertainty has been removed from the global oil markets, prices can start to move higher. This is good news for McDermott International (NYSE:MDR). The stock was already performing well due to the strong order backlog, wide geographical presence and healthy relations with customers. McDermott’s ability to provide services from design to execution has allowed it to perform better than almost all of its peers in the oilfield services sector. Now that the oil market is finally moving towards sustained recovery, investment in new projects should increase. This should make companies like McDermott International very happy.

There are some differentiating factors that give McDermott International an advantage over its peers. Most important of these factors is strong relations with national oil companies. Historically, it has been a challenge for foreign companies to have healthy relationships with national oil companies in Middle East. Not for McDermott International. In fact, deep relations with these companies has been the key driver behind growing backlog and healthy revenue even in the last two years. Saudi Aramco, the national oil company of Saudi Arabia, accounts for more than 25% of its total revenue. In normal circumstances, such high exposure to one customer will be taken as a negative and a potential threat. However, McDermott’s ability to maintain relationship with customers and extract more revenue from the same customer has allowed it to sail without any problem. It is the company’s capacity to offer full suite of services that has made it indispensable to its customers in the Middle East. Maintaining such a strong position in one of the most volatile regions in the world is a credit to the management’s ability.

    Charles Russell, managing partner at Massif Capital (June 14) — Said to short shares of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) given ample evidence suggesting global demand is unlikely to keep pace with cruise ship capacity between now and 2025. The company would be forced to raise ticket prices on price-sensitive consumers by more than 8% a year to keep pace with its current valuation, and "there is no precedent to suggest that is possible." Russell estimated that NCLH has intrinsic value of less than $26 per share, implying downside of at least 50%. Note that cruise line peer Carnival Corp. (CCL), which has exposure to China, reports earnings later this morning.
