The term “simplification transaction” may fly under the radar of many investors who look for mergers and acquisitions. This strategy has been working in the realm of oil and gas when it comes to master limited partnerships (MLPs). Some of the “simplifications” have been bad for the equity unitholders, but it may be a win-win for the likes of Energy Transfer.

Energy Transfer Equity L.P. (NYSE: ETE) and Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (NYSE: ETP) have entered into a definitive merger agreement for ETP to become a wholly owned subsidiary of ETE. The deal is being conducted in a unit-for-unit exchange, meaning it is a cashless merger transaction. According to the release, this transaction will act to both streamline Energy Transfer’s organizational structure and also eliminate the incentive distribution rights (IDRs) burden. ETE's IDRs in ETP will be canceled under the transaction.

ETP unitholders (other than ETE and its subsidiaries) will receive 1.28 common units of ETE for each common unit of ETP they own. The simplification transaction also, according to the companies, is expected to strengthen the balance sheet of the combined organization as it can use the cash distribution savings to reduce the entity’s debt and will be used to fund a portion of ETP's growth capital expenditure program. Energy Transfer noted the path of future distributions:

Top 10 Energy Stocks For 2019: ENI S.p.A.(E)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Zacks]

  Following the reform, Mexico drew multi-billion dollars' investment. It could lead up to an output of 3 MMBbl/d by the end of the planned period, as predicted by the supporters of the reform. The reform could also bring down electricity rates in the country. So far, Mexico has awarded around 90 contracts, both onshore and offshore. The country raised about $100 billion from the auctions by the end of January. With nine oil and gas blocks, Shell has emerged as the leading player in the auctions held so far. Other winners in the bidding processes include Eni S.p.A. (NYSE: E)of Italy, Inpex of Japan, France's TOTAL S.A. (NYSE: TOT), Chevron and more.

  Enterprise Group Inc (TSE:E) shares hit a new 52-week low during trading on Friday . The stock traded as low as C$0.37 and last traded at C$0.37, with a volume of 24200 shares traded. The stock had previously closed at C$0.40.

• [By Shane Hupp]

  ENI (NYSE:E) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a hold rating to a sell rating. According to Zacks, “With recovering oil prices, Eni’s operating profits from its Refining & Marketing business has gone down in the first half of 2018 against the comparable period of 2017. Also, operating profit from its Chemical business fell 79% during this period due to rising costs of oil-based feedstock. Moreover, Eni has sold 50% of its stake in the Zohr field, a high yielding project, which can impact its revenues. Fall in demand for products like gasoil and gasoline, in Italy, is also a concern for the company. If this consumption trend persists, the company’s profit levels will get affected. Given these headwinds, Eni seems like a risky bet that ordinary investors should exit.”

  Oil prices have been on fire over the past year and recently topped $70 a barrel, which is the highest crude has been since late 2014. That rally in the oil market has helped fuel big-time gains in many oil stocks. Three that stand out are Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC), Hess (NYSE:HES), and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) because each has risen more than 20% this year. They might still have additional upside from here given that all three plan on spending billions of dollars to buy back more of their stock.
