As we cross the halfway mark of 2026, the energy ******* e has already experienced a dramatic shift in the macro landscape. Supply disruptions in the Middle East turned a looming oil supply glut into a severe shortage with depleted global inventories, benefiting U.S. energy companies across the value chain. Amid significant swings in oil and equities broadly, MLPs and midstream managed to outperform the S&P 500 and kept pace with the energy benchmark in 1H26. Midstream names also largely beat 1Q26 earnings estimates, with select companies raising EBITDA guidance for the full year. Learn more below about the key topics impacting MLPs and midstream in 1H26.
Midstream had a strong first quarter and showcased its defensiveness in the second quarter. The sector held onto early gains as oil prices pulled back.
Surging liquefied natural gas (LNG) export demand and power needs are driving record midstream backlogs and benefiting natural gas infrastructure companies.
Midstream operators are rapidly building new pipeline takeaway capacity, which is starting to resolve Permian natural gas bottlenecks this year.
