Energy Transfer's Earnings Soar on Record Volumes. Is the High-Yielding Pipeline Stock Still a Buy?

Energy Transfer reported strong Q1 2026 results with 20% earnings growth driven by record volumes and favorable market conditions from Middle East supply disruptions. The company raised its full-year EBITDA guidance to $18.2-18.6 billion and increased capital spending plans to $5.5-5.9 billion. With a large project backlog through 2030 and a 6.6% dividend yield, the analyst views the stock as a buy despite a 25% year-to-date gain.
