    What Is NGL Energy Partners' Investment Narrative?

    For someone considering NGL Energy Partners today, the big-picture belief is that this is a turnaround story that can translate improving operations into sustainable earnings while managing a complex capital structure. The latest quarter’s move from a loss to US$0.48 in basic earnings per share from continuing operations adds weight to that thesis and partly offsets the sting of the recent full-year loss and very weak return on equity. In the short term, the key catalysts are whether this profitability can be repeated across future quarters and how that interacts with the sizeable preferred distributions that continue to rank ahead of common holders. The sharp year-to-date price gain suggests some of this optimism is already reflected in the unit price, so the new results may not radically shift the risk-reward balance on their own, but they do make the “sustained recovery” narrative a bit more credible.

    However, investors should be aware of how dependent that recovery story is on consistent profitability. NGL Energy Partners' shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued by 31%. Find out what it's worth.
