Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openThe article compares Williams (WMB) and Enterprise Products (EPD) as pipeline dividend stocks for retirees. It notes both companies raised their payouts this quarter, and that one of the two cut its dividend during the last industry downturn while the other continued raising through it.
Williams Companies SVP Terrance Wilson sold 2,000 shares on October 1st at $67.85 per share, for a total of $135,700. After the sale he still holds 262,259 shares worth roughly $17.8 million.
Williams Companies reported Q2 adjusted earnings of $1.92 billion (a profit measure before interest, taxes, and depreciation), driven by strong demand for natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The company also acquired Momentum Midstream, expanding its pipeline footprint in the Haynesville Basin, and is described as trading at a premium valuation compared to peers due to its superior dividend growth.
A comparison piece weighing Energy Transfer against Williams Companies as natural gas pipeline operators positioned to supply data center power demand, noting Williams is a 'pure play' on natural gas.
Williams Companies lost a court ruling that revoked an environmental permit it needed to build new natural gas pipelines serving the Northeast. The company still sees growth from its Momentum Midstream purchase and from access to Gulf Coast export terminals.
