Summary
- Kinder Morgan’s net income was US$1.4 billion in Q1 of 2021.
- Energy Transfer reported a net income of US$3.29 billion in the March quarter.
- Plains All American Pipeline or PAA’s net income was US$422 million in Q1.
The recent cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline has shaken the industry. It underscored the need to beef up security around these vital installations that are critical to the economy.
The attack had disrupted supplies to scores of businesses across the East Coast of the US. Fortunately, though, the pipeline supplies were restored on a war footing.
The oil and gas sector will likely see a strong comeback from the pandemic decline in the coming quarters as the economic activities pick up. The recovery will also benefit industries allied to the sector. Energy stocks are getting increased traction of late on the indices.
Here are three pipeline stocks to explore amid an economic recovery.
