Energy Transfer in the Right Place at the Right Time During Winter Storm; Raising FVE

Travis Miller Strategist

Analyst Note

| Travis Miller |

We are raising our fair value estimate for Energy Transfer to $18.50 per unit from $18 after the company reported a $2.4 billion pretax gain from the mid-February winter storm in Texas, boosting first-quarter adjusted EBITDA to $5.0 billion and earnings to $1.21 per unit. The storm benefit was the primary driver of our fair value estimate increase. We are reaffirming our no-moat and stable moat trend.
