Energy Transfer delivered a split verdict in Q4 2025, posting revenue of $25.32 billion, a 29.6% jump year-over-year that cleared the $23.62 billion consensus by 7.19%, while earnings per unit of $0.25 fell well short of the $0.37 analysts had expect… Read more Energy Transfer delivered a split verdict in Q4 2025, posting revenue of $25.32 billion, a 29.6% jump year-over-year that cleared the $23.62 billion consensus by 7.19%, while earnings per unit of $0.25 fell well short of the $0.37 analysts had expected, a miss of nearly 32%. The bottom-line shortfall traced largely to $277 million in non-cash impairment charges and rising interest expense of $910 million, the latter reflecting debt taken on to finance acquisitions including the Parkland deal that turbocharged the Sunoco LP segment's Adjusted EBITDA to $646 million from $439 million a year earlier. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA rose 8% to $4.18 billion, underscoring the durability of the partnership's fee-based model even as net income attributable to partners slipped to $928 million from $1.08 billion. Management also flagged that unfavorable NGL hedge timing in Q4 should reverse in Q1 2026, offering a near-term earnings tailwind. Looking further ahead, Energy Transfer raised its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $17.45–$17.85 billion, and analysts have taken note of what could make Energy Transfer a standout among midstream peers, with Jefferies lifting its price target to $20 on the strength of the partnership's natural gas project pipeline.

Key Takeaways

  • NGL and refined product terminal volumes up 12% year-over-year
  • NGL transportation volumes up 5% year-over-year
  • NGL fractionation volumes up 3%, setting a new Partnership record
  • NGL exports up 12% year-over-year
  • Crude oil transportation volumes up 6%, setting a new Partnership record
  • Midstream gathered volumes up 4% year-over-year
  • Interstate natural gas transportation volumes up 4% year-over-year
  • Intrastate natural gas transportation volumes up 3% year-over-year
  • Parkland acquisition drove significant Sunoco LP segment EBITDA growth
  • Wider natural gas price spreads benefited intrastate segment
  • Higher Permian Basin plant utilization drove midstream growth
  • Fee-based margin structure limits commodity price sensitivity

ET Forward Guidance & Outlook

Energy Transfer raised its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $17.45–$17.85 billion, up from the previous range of $17.3–$17.7 billion, with the increase solely attributable to USA Compression's acquisition of J-W Power Company. The Partnership continues to expect $5.0–$5.5 billion in growth capital expenditures for 2026, primarily on projects enhancing its natural gas network. Management expects certain Q4 timing-related items — including NGL inventory hedge settlement gains and fog-related terminal volume losses — to reverse favorably in Q1 2026.
