Looking into the current session, Plains All American Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAA#NASDAQ">PAA</a>) shares are trading at $17.05, after a 0.35% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 5.40%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 10.29%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>A Look at Plains All American P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 16.37 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, Plains All American Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 15.41. 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/2024/1729625455_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Shares of oil and gas companies are trading lower following reports suggesting an impending deal will restart Libyan oil production and exports.

Units of Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/et#NYSE">ET</a>) have rallied 21.8% year to date compared with its industry&#39;s growth of 20.8%. The oil and gas midstream firm owns a wide network of pipelines across the United States and is pursuing opportunities to serve growing power loads from new demand centers across its network.
The firm is also a top exporter of liquefied petroleum gas and is working to expand natural gas liquids export facilities to cater to the rising demand for NGL globally.
The ET stock has also outperformed its sector and the S&amp;P 500 in the year-to-date period.
<h2>Price Performance YTD</h2>

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h2>Factors Acting as Tailwinds for ET Stock</h2>
Energy Transfer owns more than 130,000 miles of pipelines across the United States and is expanding its operation through organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions. ET&#39;s operations are spread across 44 states. The firm has been making one large accretive acquisition each year since 2021. The WTG acquisition closed earlier this year expanded ET&#39;s natural gas pipeline and processing network in the Permian Basin.
Energy Transfer has a well-balanced asset mix that provides strong earnings support. ET&#39;s oil and gas pipelines, gathering and processing, and storage assets are spread in major U.S. basins and growing demand markets. The firm will invest $3-3.2 billion in 2024 to further expand and strengthen its asset base.
Energy Transfer has a NGL and Crude oil export capacity of more than 1.1 million barrels per day and 1.9 million barrels, respectively. The firm is working to increase its NGL export capabilities through the expansion of Marcus Hook and Nederland export terminals. The company&#39;s market share of worldwide NGL exports remains around 20%.
<h2>Management Ownership in ET Rises</h2>
ET&#39;s management and insiders own a sizeable chunk of its units. Management members and independent board members continue to purchase units of the firm. Energy Transfer insiders bought more than 44 million units worth $468 million since January 2021. The increasing ownership of insiders indicates bright prospects and sustainable growth amid the rising demand in the midstream space.
<h2>ET&#39;s Earnings Estimates Suggest Y/Y Rise</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Energy Transfer&#39;s 2024 and 2025 earnings per unit indicates year-over-year growth of 28.4% and 12.6%, respectively.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/60/75799.jpg?v=623562437" style="height:301px; width:600px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h2>ET&#39;s Units are Undervalued</h2>
Energy Transfer units are somewhat inexpensive on a relative basis, with its current trailing 12-month Enterprise Value/Earnings before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (EV/EBITDA) being 10.32 compared with the industry average of 11.62.
Another firm operating in this space, Plains All American Pipeline (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/paa#NASDAQ">PAA</a>), is also trading at a discount on an EV/EBITDA basis compared with its industry.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/d2/75800.jpg?v=1521552114" style="height:301px; width:600px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h2>Summing Up</h2>
Entergy Transfer, with more than 130,000 miles of pipeline and related infrastructure in 44 states, is poised well to benefit from the improving oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes in the United States.
This can be a favorable entry point for investors, given the positive movement in earnings estimates and the firm trading at a discount. The increasing insider ownership in the firm also signals sustainable growth.
Those who already own this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock would do well to retain it in their portfolios.

(PAA) - Analyzing Plains All American's Short Interest

Ormat Technologies Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ora#NYSE">ORA</a>) reported second-quarter 2024 adjusted earnings per share of 40 cents, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 37 cents by 8.1%. The bottom line was on par with the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported actuals.
The adjusted earnings benefited from higher revenues and improved margins, offset by higher interest expenses.
The company reported GAAP earnings of 37 cents per share compared with 40 cents in the year-ago quarter.
The year-over-year deterioration can be attributed to after-tax write-offs related to the decommissioning of OREG 4, the Recovered Energy Generation facility and an unsuccessful exploration activity.

</div>
<h3>Revenues</h3>
ORA generated revenues of $213 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.9%. The top line also rose 9.3% year over year, driven by higher revenues from all three of its segments.
<h3>Segmental Revenues</h3>
Electricity: Revenues in this segment amounted to $166.2 million, up 7% year over year. This upside was primarily driven by revenue contributions from its newly acquired Enel assets, a step up in operating performance and power generation at Puna, and the resumption of Heber 1 operations.
Product: This segment&#39;s revenues improved a solid 13.1% to reach $37.8 million from the year-ago quarter&#39;s level. The improvement can be attributed to a higher backlog, enhanced revenue recognition and increased profitability from ORA&#39;s contracts.
Energy: Revenues in this division amounted to $8.9 million, up 48.1% from the prior-year quarter&#39;s figure. This was driven by improved prices from the company&#39;s Pomona 2 tolling agreement, combined with higher merchant prices.
<h3>Operational Update</h3>
Ormat&#39;s total operating expenses were $26.3 million, which increased 3.9% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s level.
The operating income rose 45% year over year to $35.1 million.
The total cost of revenues was $151.6 million, up 4.3% year over year.
