ENTERPRISE PRDS PFD UT A by Enterprise Products Partners L.P.

Dividend stocks are gaining attention as investors crave certainty and downsize protection following market volatility triggered by President Donald Trump's tariff announcement on April 2. Dividend stocks have proven their resilience in the past. The S&amp;P 500 High Dividend Index outperformed the S&amp;P 500 in the dot-com bubble and COVID-19 market crash, according to an <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/education/education-the-importance-of-dividends.pdf">S&amp;P Global</a> research report.
Earlier this month, a dividend investor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1jqucki/account_update_6000month/">shared</a> his portfolio and income details on r/Dividends — a Reddit discussion board with over 700,000 followers. The portfolio screenshots shared by the investor on the social platform showed his monthly dividend income stood at $6,027.

</ul>
The investor said he had been waiting to buy stocks on a pullback, and his chance finally came following the recent market selloff.
"What a bloody day today but it did hit the price target I have been waiting for. Now that I reached $6,000, now I am going to use this money to start buying more VOO and discounted tech stocks like Google, Amazon Microsoft, Broadcom, etc."
The investor said dividend investing is not a "get rich quick" scheme and it took him 20 years to reach this income milestone. He urged investors to "keep grinding until we don't have to."
"As long as you are consistent with your investment, you will also get there," he added.

Dividend Investor Making $6,000/Month Shares Portfolio; Bought More on Recent 'Bloody Day' Selloff — 'Keep Grinding Until We Don't Have To'

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he likes Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>). The company will release earnings for the first quarter of 2025 on Tuesday, May 6, after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ET/earnings">the closing bell</a>.
Cramer also said he likes Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>). &#8220;I'd pull the trigger.&#8221; 
As per the recent news, Snowflake announced on Thursday that it received DOD IL5 Provisional Authorization on AWS GovCloud US-West. The authorization enables the company to offer solutions requiring the highest levels of protection for<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44740624/snowflake-achieves-dod-il5-authorization-shares-move-lower-what-you-need-to-know"> Controlled Unclassified Information</a>.
The Mad Money host said this is a &#8220;fantastic chance&#8221; to buy Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPD#NYSE">EPD</a>).
Supporting his view, JP Morgan analyst Jeremy Tonet maintained Enterprise Products Partners with an Overweight rating on March 27 and raised the price target from $37 to $38.

Shares of energy companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

I admit it.
I hate K-1s.
For the uninitiated, K-1s are a tax form generated by a partnership to report income.
If you own Master Limited Partnerships, you get a K-1 instead of a 1099.
They can be a nightmare if you do your own taxes.
Pro Tip: If you own MLPs, do not do your own taxes.
Again, for those of you who have never owned them, Master Limited Partnerships are fantastic little dividend machines that allow you to own businesses that are formed as partnerships specifically for tax purposes.
I have owned many of them over the years, starting with cable TV partnerships in the 80s and 90s.
It seems like every time I stick a tax return in the mail or hit send to file, I would almost immediately get a corrected K-1, causing me to have to amend my return.
My accountants love K-1s.
I hate them.
However, I hate taxes even more, and owning oil and gas midstream MLPs allows me to earn fat yields and delay taxes.
MLPs are pass-through entities, which means they don&#8217;t pay corporate income tax. Instead, they &#8220;pass through&#8221; income, deductions, depreciation, and other tax goodies directly to you via a K-1. And while that sounds like a great deal—and it is—it comes with paperwork that could make your head spin like a slot machine.
The good news?
Most of what you get from an MLP isn&#8217;t actually taxable income. It&#8217;s classified as return of capital, thanks to heavy depreciation and amortization. That means you&#8217;re deferring taxes until you sell, when the IRS gets its cut as capital gains (and sometimes ordinary income via recapture).
You get paid now, and the tax man waits.
That&#8217;s the kind of relationship I can live with.
I know some people will avoid MLPs because they hate K-1s.
That&#8217;s unintelligent.
I love huge total returns a lot more than I hate K-1s.
Midstream MLPs (Energy Transfer, Plains All American) are the toll roads of the energy world. They transport oil and gas, and they make money whether oil is at $40 or $140.
Big, boring, and tax-efficient.
Most of the distribution is return of capital.
You are deferring taxes while collecting checks. If you&#8217;re a long-term, income-focused investor who doesn&#8217;t panic over paperwork (or has a good accountant), that&#8217;s a beautiful thing.
One of my favorite MLPs is Energy Transfer (Ticker: ET).
Energy Transfer is a large midstream MLP with a footprint across pipelines, terminals, natural gas liquids, and export facilities. This one is a cash cow.
It&#8217;s run by co-founder Kelcy Warren, a cowboy capitalist who may not win awards for governance but knows how to generate distributable cash flow like nobody&#8217;s business.
ET yields over 7%, covers the distribution by a mile, and has been deleveraging after some rocky years of debt-fueled expansion.
At today&#8217;s prices, you&#8217;re getting paid handsomely to wait while they keep buying back units and growing through bolt-on deals. It&#8217;s the kind of MLP you buy, hold, and use to fund your cigar and bourbon habit.
Just don&#8217;t hold these in an IRA unless you really know what you&#8217;re doing because UBTI (unrelated business taxable income) can turn your tax-sheltered account into a tax headache.
If you want to own high-yielding midstream assets in an IRA or other tax-deferred vehicle, consider owning closed-end funds that invest in MLPs.
If you love the income and tax deferral that MLPs offer but hate the K-1 paperwork more than a trip to the DMV, CEFs might be your ticket to the promised land.
When a closed-end fund buys MLPs, it does the dirty work for you. The fund itself files the K-1s with the IRS, handles all the accounting, and you, the shareholder, just get a 1099 at the end of the year. It&#8217;s like going from doing your own taxes in pen to using a concierge accountant—smooth, clean, and hassle-free.
The best choice for a closed-end fund right now is The Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure (Ticker: KYN) This closed-end fund primarily holds North American pipeline and storage companies. Top holdings include midstream favorites like Enterprise Products Partners (Ticker: EPD), Energy Transfer (Ticker: ET), and Williams Companies (Ticker: WMB). These are businesses that generate consistent cash flow through long-term contracts, largely insulated from commodity price swings. As of March 31, 2025, the fund reported net assets of $2.5 billion and a net asset value (NAV) per share of $14.64, reflecting a portfolio built around real, tangible assets.
What makes KYN particularly compelling today is the discount it trades at relative to its NAV, currently about 12%. That kind of pricing gives investors the chance to buy into high-quality infrastructure assets at a meaningful markdown.
In a market where many income plays have been bid up, this discount provides both a margin of safety and potential upside should the discount narrow over time. For those focused on long-term total return and patient capital, this is the kind of setup that quietly compounds in your favor.
KYN also continues to deliver reliable income. The fund recently declared a monthly distribution of $0.08 per share, which works out to an annual yield of just over 7% based on current market prices. Notably, approximately 60% of that payout is expected to be classified as return of capital, offering a tax-deferred stream of income that can enhance after-tax returns.

Under the Radar: The Tax-Deferred Income Strategy Most Investors Overlook

Retirement should be a time of financial peace, not stress; yet, for many soon-to-be retirees, the transition from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40147003/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-robert-kiyosaki-sees-wealth-accumulation-in-market-declines-markets-are-cra">wealth accumulation</a> to income generation can be challenging.
The pressure to restructure the portfolio, ensuring it generates sufficient <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44461718/high-income-earner-with-3000-monthly-to-invest-faces-big-decision-i-definitely-want-to-diversify-beyond-ai-and-dividends">income</a> to live comfortably, is immense, more so when market volatility looms. For those with low-risk tolerance, the task is even more daunting because the wrong move could mean returning to work or cutting back on living expenses drastically.

A Redditor has shared in a post that he&#8217;s faced with this exact challenge. With just eight months until retirement, the investor, a 62-year-old, has $400,000 to invest and is looking for maximal monthly dividend income with minimal risk.
Although this income won&#8217;t be his primary retirement funding but extra lifestyle cash to supplement his pension, the pressure to restructure his allocations wisely is immense for the poster.
&#8220;I&#8217;m in an odd spot due to exiting a business as a founder. My retirement scenario gets better every year. If I ever need extra cash, it will be in the first 5 years. I have a low-risk tolerance. Or, God forbid, I would need to go back to work if it crashed! It looks like we are in a dip now, obviously a high rate environment. Would this qualify as a better time to buy?&#8221; the investor wrote.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Soon-to-be Retiree Has $400,000 to Invest for Dividend Income–Reddit Weights In</h2>
Invest in High-Quality Dividend ETFs
Considering the investor&#8217;s low-risk approach, Redditors suggested he pick a few high-quality ETFs to invest in.
&#8220;[Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schd#NYSE">SCHD</a>)] gets you a decent amount,&#8221; a comment reads.
&#8220;[NEOS S&amp;P 500 High Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spyi#NYSE">SPYI</a>)] and chill,&#8221; says a Redditor, to which another user replied, &#8220;One advantage of SPYI is that its dividends are mainly return of capital. So, the tax is lower than an unqualified dividend from, say a [business development company]. However, if you use a tax-advantaged account like the Roth, that doesn&#8217;t matter.&#8221;
A commenter mentioned he splits his portfolio between two ETFs.
&#8220;I split between SPYI and [JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepq#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>)​],&#8221; he said.
&#8220;[​JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepi#NYSE">JEPI</a>)​], JEPQ, [WP Carey (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wpc#NYSE">WPC</a>)], [Enterprise Products Partners LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/epd#NYSE">EPD</a>)], [MPLX LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mplx#NYSE">MPLX</a>)], SPYI,&#8221; an allocation suggestion reads.
A Reddit user wrote that this favorite individual stock of many investors is the perfect choice since it generates a 7% dividend yield per year.
&#8220;[Altria Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mo#NYSE">MO</a>)] &#8211; recession resistant, 7% yield. Your $400,000 would kick out $28,000 a year in income,&#8221; he said.

Go For Higher-Yielding Income Plays
Several Redditors suggested business development companies and covered-call ETFs since they deliver around 8% to 11% yields if the investor can handle a bit of risk.
&#8220;High-quality [business development companies] like [Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/arcc#NASDAQ">ARCC</a>)​], [Blue Owl Capital Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/obdc#NYSE">OBDC</a>)], [Golub Capital BDC (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbdc#NASDAQ">GBDC</a>)], [Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bxsl#NYSE">BXSL</a>)], [Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/main#NYSE">MAIN</a>)], [Capital Southwest Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cswc#NASDAQ">CSWC</a>)], [Fidus Investment Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fdus#NASDAQ">FDUS</a>)]. Average 9% yield,&#8221; a user recommended.
&#8220;[Business development companies] are a solid income-producing asset. This person doesn&#8217;t have decades to wait for growth. They need the money now as they are about to retire and growth was presumably the focus for the past few decades,&#8221; an advocate for business development companies wrote.
A Redditor shared in the comments that he&#8217;s been retired for 15 years and has the biggest part of his portfolio in high-yield business development companies.
&#8220;I&#8217;m 78 and have been retired for 15 years. I&#8217;m fortunate that social security and pensions cover my living expenses. The majority of my portfolio is high-yield [business development companies], [closed-end funds], and [real estate investment trusts]. The average yield is a tad over 10%. In 2022, the total value dropped but less than the DOW or S&amp;P. The dividends kept on coming without missing a beat. High risk they say, high rewards I say. It allows me to spend winters in Florida and yearly overseas vacations. I have zero regrets,&#8221; the retiree said.

Analyst Ratings

8 Analysts Have This To Say About Enterprise Prods Partners

Dividend investing attracts many investors who want to generate extra cash flow without any additional work. One Redditor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1jj4b8n/30_m_starting_in_div_stocks_how_am_i_doing/">just got started with dividend investing</a> and posted his portfolio in the Dividends subreddit.&nbsp;
He is a 30-year-old who makes $206.10 per month with his portfolio. That comes to $17.18 per day. The investor currently has a 5.15% yield on his assets.&nbsp;

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-centennial">Jeff Bezos-Backed Arrived Homes Hits A Big Sale On Charlotte Property – Investors Earning A 34.7% Return</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's in the Portfolio?</h2>
The Redditor has five holdings in his portfolio. He has some ETFs, so the portfolio is more diversified than it sounds. These are the positions:
<ul>
<li>Enterprise Products Partners LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPD#NYSE">EPD</a>): 14 shares</li>
<li>JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPI#NYSE">JEPI</a>): 8 shares</li>
<li>Realty Income (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>): 28 shares</li>
<li>Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE Arca): SCHD): 24 shares</li>
<li>Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>): 20 shares</li>
</ul>
The Redditor has a high concentration of high-yielding ETFs and REITs. The exposure to REITs is noteworthy since those dividends are treated as ordinary income. If you are in a high tax bracket, investing in stocks that offer non-qualified dividends doesn't make as much sense. These types of dividend payouts are treated as ordinary income, which results in more taxes.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Realty Income, the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF, and the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund give out non-qualified dividends. The dividend investor should use their current tax rate to assess the true yield.&nbsp;
For instance, if a non-qualifying dividend stock has a 5% yield, and your top dollar is taxed at 22%, then you are only getting a real yield of 3.9% (5% x 0.22 = 3.9%).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Know Your Strategy</h2>
It's hard to gauge if the Redditor is doing a good job or not since we don't know the Redditor's strategy. For instance, if the 30-year-old wants to maximize risk to achieve the highest possible reward, then this is a bad portfolio. However, if the same investor wants to reduce volatility and receive high cash flow, then it fulfills that objective.
The Redditor is diversified into a few ETFs which minimizes risk. Putting all of your eggs in one basket is riskier since your entire portfolio would be tied to a single stock's performance.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DRIP and Continue Investing</h2>
When you're getting started out with a dividend portfolio, it won't provide much cash flow. The Redditor earns $206.10/yr from his dividend portfolio. It's extra money, but it's nothing life-changing. However, the Redditor can end up earning thousands of dollars every month from this portfolio by the time he retires.
Reinvesting dividends ensures that your annual dividend income grows each year. Dividend investors should also contribute at least 10% of their paycheck, but higher contributions will lead to more gains, especially if you make those big contributions when you are young.
Dividend-paying stocks tend to hike their dividends each year, giving you an additional opportunity to boost your dividend income. It can take multiple decades to reach your desired dividend income level, but it's worth the effort.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Enterprise Prods Partners's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Enterprise Prods Partners's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.56%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Enterprise Prods Partners 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Investors are often driven by the pursuit of massive <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44378283/ralph-laurens-prospects-of-market-share-gains-margin-expansion-turns-this-analyst-bullish">gains</a> and few assets capture this ambition better than individual stocks–like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)–that have seen a meteoric climb.
For many, high returns from individual <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44239013/retirement-investor-with-21-600year-in-dividends-needs-2-200-more-per-month-what-high-yield-stocks-w">stocks</a> and/or options trading are irresistible because such investments can turn a modest sum of money into life-changing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43801235/paper-mill-worker-builds-1-7-million-fortune-through-investing-top-3-stocks-that-boosted-his-wealth">wealth</a>.
This is the case of a 32-year-old ex-military who made $700,000 in options trading but is unsure of what to do next. After hitting it big, the investor is wondering whether he should double down on high-risk strategies, or pivot to more stable, long-term investments, so he&#8217;s taken to Reddit to seek advice.

</ul>
With 4,200 shares of NVDA at a cost basis of $69 and $350,000 in cash, he is at a crossroads. His end goal is to preserve and grow his wealth while minimizing risk because he thinks his options trading run may be coming to an end. Still, he isn&#8217;t sure about what to do next.

The community offered plenty of suggestions so let&#8217;s analyze the comments and distill the most relevant advice below.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$350,000 in SCHD? Reddit Assesses His Plan and Gives Suggestions</h2>
Avoid Putting All Your Money in One Asset
One of the most prevalent advice in the comments was to avoid putting all the money into a single investment–SCHD in this case–and diversify the portfolio into several assets.
&#8220;At age 32, I think you should consider a mix of SCHD, [Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schg#NYSE">SCHG</a>)], and perhaps [Schwab International Equity ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schf#NYSE">SCHF</a>)]. Perhaps 45/45/10 or 50/45/5,&#8221; a Redditor advised.
A commenter suggested the investor a mix of growth and dividend-paying investments, as well as international exposure.
&#8220;Personally though, I&#8217;d put $50,000 to $100,000 into ex-U.S. markets. [Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vymi#NASDAQ">VYMI</a>)], [Legg Mason International Low Volatility High Dividend ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lvhi#NASDAQ">LVHI</a>)], [Franklin International Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/divi#NYSE">DIVI</a>)] are a few dividend-focused options,&#8221; he said.
Recommending a mix of individual stocks, ETFs, and dividend-paying assets, this Reddit user provided a detailed illustration of how diversification can be achieved in a portfolio.
&#8220;$50,000 [Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/voo#NYSE">VOO</a>)], $50,000 growth stocks like [Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)], NVDA, and others, $50,000 SCHD, $50,000 [JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepq#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>)], $50,000 [JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepi#NYSE">JEPI</a>)], $50,000 [Simplify Volatility Premium ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/svol#NYSE">SVOL</a>)], $50,000 ([Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pfe#NYSE">PFE</a>)], and other dividend stocks),&#8221; his suggestion reads.
&#8220;At 30, SCHG 50% VOO 50%,&#8221; another comment says.

Consider Tax Efficiency and Long-Term Growth
Another recurring theme in the thread was the importance of tax efficiency and the possible drawbacks of focusing only on dividend income, with many Redditors suggesting that dividend-paying ETFs might not be the best option when it comes to taxes.
&#8220;Dumping $350,000 in there is a monumentally terrible idea. SCHD underperforms the S&amp;P 500 with dividends reinvested and not even counting the extra tax drag. You&#8217;d be creating more taxable income for yourself which is a terrible strategy. You want to minimize income and maximize net worth. Dumping all of your capital into something paying income is the opposite of what you should be doing,&#8221; a Reddit user wrote.
A Redditor suggested to the investor several other options that he says would yield more returns than SCHD.
&#8220;SCHD is a good fund, but is it best for you? With $350,000 invested, it will produce about $12,000 a year. Instead, $350,000 invested in [iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pff#NASDAQ">PFF</a>)] with a 6% yield, would earn you about $21,000 a year. Or you could invest in [business development companies] using [Putnam BDC Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pbdc#NYSE">PBDC</a>)] and earn $31,000. Or [NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqqi#NASDAQ">QQQI</a>)] with a 23% yield and earn $45,000,&#8221; the commenter said.
&#8220;SCHD 30%, VOO 20%, [Realty Income Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/o#NYSE">O</a>)] 14%, [PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pep#NASDAQ">PEP</a>)] 14%, [Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/epd#NYSE">EPD</a>)] 12%, [Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/arcc#NASDAQ">ARCC</a>)] 10%,&#8221; a user recommended.

<h3>Enterprise Prods Partners P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 29.51 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, Enterprise Prods Partners Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 12.39. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740406519_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
