Marc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist, The Oxford Club Energy Transfer (NYSE: ET) is a favorite among income investors due to its strong yield. And now, thanks to the meltdown in the markets, the stock yields nearly 8%, making it even more attractive. But can investors rely on that high yield going forward? Energy Transfer is a master limited partnership (MLP). As a result, it pays a distribution instead of a dividend and is taxed differently. Typically, MLP distributions are not taxed in the year they are received. Instead, they lower the cost basis and the investor pays tax on a larger capital gain when they sell. But in the meantime, they collect tax-deferred income while they hold it. The company operates oil and gas pipelines, with assets in 44 states. SPONSORED Discover the Hidden Gold Play Wall Street Is Ignoring While everyone is chasing gold at $2,500 per ounce, there's a little-known investment that gives you exposure to over 1 oz of gold - for less than $20. And the best part? It has outperformed gold by 10-to-1 over the past 25 years. Click here now to seize this opportunity before the next surge. Last year, the company generated $8.3 billion in distributable cash flow, up from $7.6 billion in 2023. It paid investors $4.6 billion in distributions for a payout ratio of 55%. So, the company was easily able to afford its distribution. In 2025, the company is projected to grow distributable cash flow to $8.4 billion, while distributions paid is anticipated to shrink to $3.9 billion, for a 46% payout ratio. While Energy Transfer's financials look stellar, the company did cut the distribution in 2020 when times got tough. Sometimes, it's the prudent thing to do. But I prefer a management team that will do whatever it takes to preserve the dividend. Energy Transfer has shown that it will reduce the distribution, which gets a penalty in the dividend safety rating. However, Energy Transfer has been growing its distribution per share to investors for the past few years and generates plenty of cash flow to do so. Is the MLP's recent track record strong enough to keep it from cutting again? Find Out Here!
