Crude oil is in a world of hurt again, pushing back down into the low $40s and threatening to test the high $30s soon. There are a host of reasons for this, including the strong U.S. dollar as well as a glut of global supply and weak demand in China and other emerging markets. And as a result of the persistent headwinds for energy prices, a bunch of big-name energy stocks have taken it on the chin in 2015.
These master limited partnerships operate the pipelines and storage tanks for crude and natural gas, and as such are really just “middle men,” charging companies that use their infrastructure. Whether or not the exploration companies are operating at a loss or the wholesalers are taking it on the chin amid falling prices doesn’t matter — it’s simply a matter of someone using their gear and paying a toll along the way. That business model provides for stability in a rocky energy market, and it also provides reliable revenue that helps feed tremendous dividends: Magellan Midstream Partners (MMP), Markwest Energy Partners (MWE) and Energy Transfer Partners (ETP).
