    What Is Genesis Energy's Investment Narrative?

    To own Genesis Energy today, you need to be comfortable with a company that is finally putting together cleaner profitability, a bigger common distribution and incremental balance sheet work, but from a still-leveraged starting point. The latest quarter’s jump in revenue and swing to a US$42.86 million profit, plus completion of the modest US$4.68 million buyback, support the near term catalyst of improving earnings quality after large one off items. Management’s renewed focus on refinancing and reducing high cost preferred equity, reinforced at Citi’s Natural Resources Conference, potentially shifts the story a little more toward de-risking the capital structure rather than pure distribution growth. That said, interest coverage remains tight and the distribution is not yet comfortably covered, so the financial risk side of the thesis has not gone away.

    However, there is still one financial pressure point investors should not overlook. Genesis Energy's shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued. Find out how large the opportunity might be.
