Alerian Energy Infrastructure ETF

ENFR

Market cap $349M

Alerian Energy Infrastructure ETF is not a pure MLP; it includes about 75% of C-corps in its holdings distribution. The distribution is lower than that of AMLP, but still linear and consistent, an element I appreciate. ENFR is partly (minimally) linked to the price of natural gas and oil and highly sensitive to dynamics related to the cost of capital.

Kinder Morgan (KMI) delivered strong performance in the fourth quarter of 2025, reporting financial results that exceeded analyst expectations on the strength of surging natural gas demand. The midstream company reported adjusted EBITDA of $2.271 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $2.214 billion.

The growing demand for power, including for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, is driving a major shift in the U.S. natural gas landscape. New natural gas pipeline projects a few years ago were concentrated in Texas and driven by rising supply.

Recent announcements from midstream names have reinforced the segment's commitment to shareholder returns. Distribution growth serves as an indicator of sector health, highlighting the midstream segment's ability to provide stable income despite broader market volatility.

Kinder Morgan (KMI) has provided financial guidance for 2026, offering investors insight into how rising natural gas demand is driving growth for the midstream sector.  The energy infrastructure company expects to generate nearly $8.7 billion in adjusted EBITDA for 2026, a 4% increase over its 2025 guidance.

Two key forces drove investors' November interests on this ETF content platform: the strategic hunt for durable growth amidst tech volatility, and the perennial demand for income and alternative diversification.  The five most popular articles on our platform last month reflect this split.

In a fast-evolving energy landscape, Energy Transfer (ET) is capitalizing on burgeoning demand from U.S. data centers. The midstream company is leveraging its extensive pipeline network to secure new contracts and sustain robust project returns.
