For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals.
While you may have an investing style you rely on, finding great stocks is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores. These are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on value, growth, and/or momentum characteristics.
Different than growth or momentum investors, value-focused investors are all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under what their true value is before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Headquartered in Houston, TX, Enterprise Products Partners is among the leading midstream energy players in North America. With its wide base of midstream infrastructure assets, the partnership provides services to producers and consumers of commodities that include natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL), oil and refined petrochemical products. It was formed in April 1998.
EPD sits at a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), holds a Value Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of B. Compared to the Oil and Gas - Production Pipeline - MLB industry's P/E of 13.6X, shares of Enterprise Products Partners are trading at a forward P/E of 11.4X. EPD also has a PEG Ratio of 1.5, a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 9X, and a Price/Sales ratio of 1.3X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2024, one analyst revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for EPD, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.00 to $2.69 per share. EPD also holds an average earnings surprise of 2.3%.
Investors should take the time to consider EPD for their portfolios due to its solid Zacks Ranks, notable earnings and valuation metrics, and impressive Value and VGM Style Scores.
