Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD) is one of the best long-term retirement stocks. On February 5, TD Cowen reiterated a Hold rating on Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD) and raised the price target from $33 to $34.
The price target hike follows remarks that the company completed 2025 with a record fourth quarter of natural gas inlet volume of 8.1 Bcf/d and a record NGL fractionation volume of 1.9 million BPD. The volume increase led to a higher gross operating margin in the NGL segment and a record net income attributable to common unit holders.
“We continue to forecast strong natural gas and NGL production growth in the Permian Basin as gas-to-oil ratios continue to increase and as producers use new completion technology, develop new geologic horizons, and step out further on their inventory of locations,” said A.J. “Jim” Teague, co-chief executive officer.
The company reported net income of $5.8 billion, or $2.66 per common unit on a fully diluted basis, compared to $5.9 billion, or $2.69 per common unit on a fully diluted basis. Operational distributable cash flow was $7.9 billion. Distribution declared increased 3.6% to $2.175 per common unit, marking the 27th consecutive year of distribution growth.
