Consolidation continues full steam in the US midstream space. ONEOK recently acquired Medallion Midstream and a 43% share of EnLink Midstream. The final 57% share in EnLink will be purchased in a tax-free exchange. The combined company will benefit from synergies, expanded services, and a stronger valuation.
Oneok (OKE) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?
ONEOK's stock dropped 5% after announcing a $4.3 billion all-stock acquisition of the remaining 57% of EnLink Midstream, a move anticipated by the market. Despite recent gains, ONEOK still warrants a marginal 'buy' rating due to expected synergies and significant cash flows from recent acquisitions. ONEOK's valuation is mid-tier compared to peers, but its low net leverage ratio and focus on dividends and buybacks make it a quality prospect.
Oneok (OKE -4.72%) has been busy over the past couple of years. The midstream giant has closed several acquisitions that significantly increased its scale, diversification, and growth profile.
OKE is set to acquire the rest of EnLink Midstream LLC for $4.3 billion in common stock. This step will allow OKE to continue to expand and extend its value chain.
Pipeline operator ONEOK said on Sunday it would acquire all of the remaining publicly held units of Enlink for $4.3 billion in ONEOK common stock.
OKE is set to sell its three interstate natural gas pipeline systems. This deal will align and enhance its capital allocation priorities within its integrated operating footprint.
Pipeline operator DT Midstream said on Tuesday it would acquire a portfolio of three natural gas transmission pipelines from ONEOK for $1.2 billion in cash.
ONEOK stands out in the S&P 500 dividend space with a 4.2% yield, consistent dividend history, and >10% annual EPS growth. The company's narrow-moat business model and essential pipeline infrastructure underpin its resilience and growth potential. Despite some questionable filters in its self-presentation, ONEOK's strategic positioning and solid financial metrics make it a compelling high-yield investment.
