As oil and gas companies have shifted from survival to cash generation mode, their capital return strategies have come into focus. Some U.S. independents prioritize buybacks while others rely on dividends; few companies employ a mix of both strategies.

Buybacks Or Dividends? What Worked Better So Far

The reality is that U.S. oil production may not grow as fast as previous predictions have stated. However, for segments of the energy sector, such as midstream, moderate production growth does not detract from the constructive outlook for the space.

Midstream Positioned Well for Moderate U.S. Oil Production Growth

Summary Midstream/MLPs tend to outperform the broader market in years of high inflation, and though it has cooled from its mid-2022 peak, inflation is likely to remain elevated in 2023. Energy infrastructure companies largely provide services for fees under long-term contracts, which typically include annual inflation adjustments.

Understanding the Inflation Tailwind for Midstream/MLPs

The low capex in traditional energy production will sustain energy prices. The low capex in the midstream energy infrastructure sector sustains strong free cash flow generation.

AMLP: Ample Shareholder Value

Energy stocks have been volatile at times in the last year, but MLPs have provided a robust yield with somewhat lower risk at times. With a concentrated low-P/E portfolio and robust yield, AMLP looks favorable from a fundamental perspective.

The energy transition from traditional carbon-based sources, such as crude oil and coal, to renewable clean energy sources, such as wind, solar, and biofuels, will rely heavily on existing infrastructure.
