Read MoreHide Full Article
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD - Free Report) recently got an approval from the board of directors for third-quarter 2018 quarterly distribution of 43.25 cents per unit, representing a year-over-year hike of 2.4%. The new distribution also marks a sequential increase of 0.6%.
The distribution of Enterprise Products now stands at $1.73 per unit on an annualized basis, which will be paid on Nov 8 to its unitholders on record as of Oct 31, 2018. Based on the closing price of $29.13 as of Oct 4, the third-quarter 2018 distribution translates to a yield of 5.9%, lower than the industry’s 7.1%.
This marks the company’s 66th distribution hike since 1998's initial public offering. The Houston, TX-based midstream energy partnership remains focused on boosting its unitholders’ value through distribution hikes, which shows strength in its operations. Notably, the latest hike marks the 57th consecutive quarterly distribution increase effectuated by the partnership.
The partnership announced that it will report third-quarter 2018 earnings on Oct 31, 2018, before the opening bell. Its earnings for the to-be-reported quarter are estimated to soar 43.3% from the year-ago level.
Enterprise Products is a leading master limited partnership, engaged in providing a wide range of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL), and crude oil. It owns pipelines of around 49,000 miles, having a storage capacity of 260 million barrels of liquids and 14 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
Price Performance
Enterprise Products has gained 10.8% in the past year compared with 2% collective growth recorded by the industry it belongs to.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
