Better Buy: Kinder Morgan, Inc. vs. Williams Partners LP
Investors don't seem to be paying enough attention to an astonishing new reality: North American energy independence from the rest of the world is a slam dunk. The three major countries that call the continent home are increasing production of petroleum and natural gas, trading it among themselves and exporting the excess across the globe. In the United States alone, crude oil production in 2018 is expected to top 10 million barrels per day for the first time ever, while natural gas production is expected to increase 32% between 2016 and 2026.
Few companies are better positioned to capitalize on this new reality than energy infrastructure giants Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) and Williams Partners LP (NYSE: WPZ). They own thousands of miles of oil and gas pipelines that will serve as the crucial conduits moving raw products from field to processing center to coast. But if you could own only one of these stocks, which is the better buy?
