What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of ET's valuation, growth and risks.
Energy Transfer LP (ET) trades at a trailing P/E of 13.88, which is 24.6% below the Energy median of 18.4. The peer comparison on this page rates that as a discount to peers. On sales, the P/S of 0.65 sits 74.0% below the sector median of 2.5. For scale, the company's market value is $69.8B.
In the latest year revenue grew 78.40%, 45.6 percentage points faster than the sector median of 32.8%. Margins stand at a net margin of 4.92% and an operating margin of 10.41%. Shareholders' capital earns 14.56%, above the sector median of 14.2%, measured as return on equity. Debt-to-equity of 1.38 and a trailing dividend yield of 6.64% ($1.35 a share a year) round out the fundamentals.
The May 5, 2026 report missed expectations by 5.41%: $0.35 a share against a $0.37 estimate. The share price fell 2.55% in the first session after the report.
The earnings record shows 3 beats in 6 reports, though the stock still fell in the first session after 1 of those 3 beats. Earlier, the stock rose 6.83% after the May 6, 2025 report, a beat of 37.04%. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $1.71 this fiscal year (growth of 41.7%) and $1.68 the year after (a decline of 1.9%).
Day to day, ET's price typically moves 1.04%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns. Insider activity over the last 18 months leans toward buying: sales came to $25K while open-market purchases reached $90.0M. Insider sales are often planned in advance or made to cover tax on vesting shares, so they carry less weight than purchases do.

Earnings miss ›
The May 5, 2026 report missed the EPS estimate by 5.41%, and the share price fell 2.55% in the first session after it.
Source: Earnings report, May 5, 2026
- The two levels closest to the price matter most: the 20-day EMA at $20.45 sits just above, and the 200-day SMA at $19.50 sits just below.
- The 14-day RSI stands at 44.8, which is neutral, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 signal stretched momentum.
- After the May 5, 2026 report the share price fell 2.55% in the first session; ET beat estimates in 3 of the last 6 reports.
ET's trend is mixed. The price is above the 200-day average at $19.50 but under the 50-day average at $20.87. Should the price close above the 50-day, both readings would point up, while a close below the 200-day would push both down. For now, the price is wedged between the 200-day SMA ($19.50) below and the 20-day EMA ($20.45) above.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in ET, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in ET today could grow to about $15,544 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $63,071 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $3,831. The simulation models price only; at today's 6.64% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
ET Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $24.17 for ET by 2030 in the base case, from $20.26 today (1.2x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $9.97. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on ET's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.

| 2027 | $13.60 | $21.17 | $32.97 | |
