Shares of oil and gas companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

I admit it.
I hate K-1s.
For the uninitiated, K-1s are a tax form generated by a partnership to report income.
If you own Master Limited Partnerships, you get a K-1 instead of a 1099.
They can be a nightmare if you do your own taxes.
Pro Tip: If you own MLPs, do not do your own taxes.
Again, for those of you who have never owned them, Master Limited Partnerships are fantastic little dividend machines that allow you to own businesses that are formed as partnerships specifically for tax purposes.
I have owned many of them over the years, starting with cable TV partnerships in the 80s and 90s.
It seems like every time I stick a tax return in the mail or hit send to file, I would almost immediately get a corrected K-1, causing me to have to amend my return.
My accountants love K-1s.
I hate them.
However, I hate taxes even more, and owning oil and gas midstream MLPs allows me to earn fat yields and delay taxes.
MLPs are pass-through entities, which means they don&#8217;t pay corporate income tax. Instead, they &#8220;pass through&#8221; income, deductions, depreciation, and other tax goodies directly to you via a K-1. And while that sounds like a great deal—and it is—it comes with paperwork that could make your head spin like a slot machine.
The good news?
Most of what you get from an MLP isn&#8217;t actually taxable income. It&#8217;s classified as return of capital, thanks to heavy depreciation and amortization. That means you&#8217;re deferring taxes until you sell, when the IRS gets its cut as capital gains (and sometimes ordinary income via recapture).
You get paid now, and the tax man waits.
That&#8217;s the kind of relationship I can live with.
I know some people will avoid MLPs because they hate K-1s.
That&#8217;s unintelligent.
I love huge total returns a lot more than I hate K-1s.
Midstream MLPs (Energy Transfer, Plains All American) are the toll roads of the energy world. They transport oil and gas, and they make money whether oil is at $40 or $140.
Big, boring, and tax-efficient.
Most of the distribution is return of capital.
You are deferring taxes while collecting checks. If you&#8217;re a long-term, income-focused investor who doesn&#8217;t panic over paperwork (or has a good accountant), that&#8217;s a beautiful thing.
One of my favorite MLPs is Energy Transfer (Ticker: ET).
Energy Transfer is a large midstream MLP with a footprint across pipelines, terminals, natural gas liquids, and export facilities. This one is a cash cow.
It&#8217;s run by co-founder Kelcy Warren, a cowboy capitalist who may not win awards for governance but knows how to generate distributable cash flow like nobody&#8217;s business.
ET yields over 7%, covers the distribution by a mile, and has been deleveraging after some rocky years of debt-fueled expansion.
At today&#8217;s prices, you&#8217;re getting paid handsomely to wait while they keep buying back units and growing through bolt-on deals. It&#8217;s the kind of MLP you buy, hold, and use to fund your cigar and bourbon habit.
Just don&#8217;t hold these in an IRA unless you really know what you&#8217;re doing because UBTI (unrelated business taxable income) can turn your tax-sheltered account into a tax headache.
If you want to own high-yielding midstream assets in an IRA or other tax-deferred vehicle, consider owning closed-end funds that invest in MLPs.
If you love the income and tax deferral that MLPs offer but hate the K-1 paperwork more than a trip to the DMV, CEFs might be your ticket to the promised land.
When a closed-end fund buys MLPs, it does the dirty work for you. The fund itself files the K-1s with the IRS, handles all the accounting, and you, the shareholder, just get a 1099 at the end of the year. It&#8217;s like going from doing your own taxes in pen to using a concierge accountant—smooth, clean, and hassle-free.
The best choice for a closed-end fund right now is The Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure (Ticker: KYN) This closed-end fund primarily holds North American pipeline and storage companies. Top holdings include midstream favorites like Enterprise Products Partners (Ticker: EPD), Energy Transfer (Ticker: ET), and Williams Companies (Ticker: WMB). These are businesses that generate consistent cash flow through long-term contracts, largely insulated from commodity price swings. As of March 31, 2025, the fund reported net assets of $2.5 billion and a net asset value (NAV) per share of $14.64, reflecting a portfolio built around real, tangible assets.
What makes KYN particularly compelling today is the discount it trades at relative to its NAV, currently about 12%. That kind of pricing gives investors the chance to buy into high-quality infrastructure assets at a meaningful markdown.
In a market where many income plays have been bid up, this discount provides both a margin of safety and potential upside should the discount narrow over time. For those focused on long-term total return and patient capital, this is the kind of setup that quietly compounds in your favor.
KYN also continues to deliver reliable income. The fund recently declared a monthly distribution of $0.08 per share, which works out to an annual yield of just over 7% based on current market prices. Notably, approximately 60% of that payout is expected to be classified as return of capital, offering a tax-deferred stream of income that can enhance after-tax returns.

Markets

Looking At Williams Companies's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Shares of energy stocks are trading lower as oil prices fall after OPEC+ producers accelerated output hikes. Additionally, President Trump's recent tariff announcements and China's retaliatory tariffs on the US have driven further demand uncertainty.

In the current market session, Williams Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMB#NYSE">WMB</a>) stock price is at $59.58, after a 0.30% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 4.89%, and in the past year, by 51.41%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Williams Companies P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 21.41 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, Williams Companies Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 32.84. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Williams Companies Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743516020_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

미국 천연가스 가격이 목요일에 급등했다. U.S. Natural Gas Fund LLP(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>)로 추적하는 헨리 허브 기준가가 6.5% 상승하여 백만 영국 열량당 3.59달러에 거래되며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2023년 1월 이후</a> 가장 높은 종가를 기록할 것으로 보인다.
이번 주 시작부터 가격은 9.5% 상승하여, 지난 9주 중 8주 연속 상승할 가능성을 굳혔다.
최근의 상승은 저장소에서의 강력한 출고, 국내 및 글로벌 수요의 증가, 그리고 유럽의 지속적인 지정학적 불확실성에 기인했다.
천연가스 가격 상승은 인플레이션과 경제에 문제를 일으킬 수 있으며, 소비자들에게 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42598354/wall-street-pins-hopes-on-fridays-crucial-fed-inflation-report-yet-a-miracle-is-needed-to-shift-the-narrative" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">조만간</a> 더 높은 공공요금으로 이어질 수 있다.
투자자들에게 천연가스 가격 상승은 이번 주 연방준비제도(연준) 회의에서 인플레이션 전망을 내년으로 높이고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42563299/feds-powell-shocks-markets-its-a-new-phase-were-significantly-closer-to-neutral" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">금리 인하 속도</a>를 늦출 것이라고 신호를 보낸 것에 따른 우려를 더한다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">EIA 데이터, 세 번째 연속 세 자릿수 저장고 감소 확인</h3>
미국 에너지정보청(EIA)은 12월 13일 주간 천연가스 저장고에서 125억 입방피트가 출고되었다고 보고했다. 이는 시장 예상치인 126 Bcf(billion cubic feet) 감소와 일치한다. 이는 세 주 연속 세 자릿수 출고 및 다섯 주 연속 재고 감소를 기록한 것이다.
가장 큰 저장고 감소는 중서부의 추운 지역에서 48 Bcf, 동부에서 34 Bcf 감소했다.
12월 13일 기준으로, 미국의 총 천연가스 재고는 3,622 Bcf로, 지난해 동기 대비 0.6% 증가했고 5년 평균보다 3.8% 높았다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">국내 수요 급증, 2024년 기록 경신</h3>
EIA의 천연가스 연례 보고서는 2024년 국내 소비가 기록적으로 증가할 것이라고 예측했다. 이는 주로 전력 부문 수요의 급증에 의해 주도되었다.
이 보고서에 따르면, 인공지능(AI) 데이터 센터가 천연가스 소비 증가의 중요한 원천이라고 밝혀졌다.
<ul>
<li>전력 부문: 2023년 천연가스 사용량은 하루 평균 35.4 Bcf로, 전년 대비 6.7% (2.2 Bcf) 증가하여 전체 미국 소비의 40%를 차지했다.</li>
<li>주거 부문: 소비가 5년 만에 최저치인 하루 평균 12.4 Bcf로, 2022년 대비 8.9% 감소했다.</li>
<li>상업 부문: 사용량이 0.5 Bcf/d로 4.8% 감소했다.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">지정학적 위험이 LNG 수요를 증가시킨다</h3>
글로벌 액화천연가스(LNG) 시장도 미국 천연가스 가격에 영향을 미치고 있다.
우크라이나를 통한 러시아 가스 접근에 대한 불확실성은 EU 국가들이 대체 공급자를 찾도록 유도하여 미국 LNG 수요를 증가시켰다.
이 추세는 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선자의 LNG 수출 허가 확대 약속으로 더욱 강화되었다. 미국 기업들은 이미 저렴한 국내 판매보다 수익성이 높은 LNG 수출을 선호하고 있어, 풍부한 현지 공급에도 불구하고 글로벌 시장에 대한 관심이 증폭되고 있다.
&#8220;올 겨울 날씨가 지난 두 겨울처럼 온화하게 유지된다면, 우리는 이전 두 겨울과 유사한 가격의 상대적으로 안정적인 글로벌 수급 균형을 예상한다&#8221;고 EIA가 최근 보고서에서 말했다.
그러나 유럽이나 아시아에서 예상보다 추운 겨울이 발생하면 공급-수요 균형이 긴축되어 가격이 급등할 수 있다고 경고했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">시장 반응: 천연가스 주식이 상승 중</h3>
목요일에 천연가스 주식이 에너지 부문 내에서 상승했다.
주요 상승 주식은 킨더 모건(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NASDAQ">KMI</a>)이 1.59% 상승 마감, 윌리엄스 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMB#NYSE">WMB</a>)는 1.0.8% 상승 및 EQT 코퍼레이션(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NYSE">EQT</a>)이 0.26% 상승 마감 등이 포함되었다.

&#8220;카니발은 9월 실적 발표 시 예약 추세에 대해 매우 긍정적이었고, 우리는 로얄 캐리비안과 노르웨이안이 2025년까지 이 논평을 반영할 것으로 기대한다&#8221;고 뱅크 오브 아메리카의 애널리스트 앤드류 디도라(Andrew Didora)가 월요일 발표한 메모에 썼다.
디도라는 로얄 캐리비안에 대한 12개월 목표 주가를 172달러에서 205달러로, 노르웨이안을 23달러에서 25달러로 상향 조정했다. 이는 &#8220;지속적인 견고한 수익률 추세와 안정적인 거시 경제 추세&#8221;를 인용한 것이다.
그러나 그는 두 주식에 대해 &#8220;중립&#8221; 등급을 유지하며, 모멘텀이 있지만 평가가 과도한 수준에 도달하고 있다고 시사했다.
로얄 캐리비안은 현재 2025년 EBITDA 예상치의 거의 12배로 거래되고 있으며, 이는 2017년 이후로 마지막으로 본 수준이다. 노르웨이안은 2025년 EBITDA의 약 9.5배로 거래되고 있으며, 이는 역사적 평균과 일치한다.
이 전문가는 또한 크루즈 부문이 2024년에 강력한 순풍을 맞았지만, 일부 소규모 역풍이 단기 가이던스에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 설명했다.
허리케인 밀턴으로 인해 로얄 캐리비안의 아이콘 오브 더 시즈(Icon of the Seas)의 항해가 취소되어 4분기 매출에 약간의 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
노르웨이안은 4분기 용량의 약 8%만 카리브해에 배치되어 있어 허리케인으로 인한 최소한의 혼란을 겪을 것으로 예상된다.
애널리스트들에 따르면, 허리케인 밀턴의 영향은 두 회사에 대한 긍정적인 전망을 크게 바꾸지 않을 것으로 보인다.
잠재적인 자사주 매입에 대한 추측이 투자자들 사이에 또 다른 관심 요소로 추가되었다. 특히 로얄 캐리비안은 자본 할당 전략의 일환으로 자사주 매입을 고려하고 있을 수 있다.
뱅크 오브 아메리카는 로얄 캐리비안의 2024 EPS 추정치를 11.52달러에서 11.58달러로 약간 상향 조정했으며, 이는 &#8220;이번 실적 발표에서 자사주 매입의 길을 열 수 있다&#8221;고 밝혔다.

크루즈 라인은 S&P 500에서 10월 최고의 성과: 로얄 캐리비안, 노르웨이안 실적에 주목

미국의 에너지 대기업들의 주가가 급등하며 2년 만에 가장 강력한 성과를 기록했다. 이는 이란과 이스라엘 간의 중동에서의 갈등 확대에 대한 우려로 원유 가격이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41172781/oil-prices-rally-biden-confirms-us-discussions-with-israel-about-striking-iran-facilities" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">배럴당 75달러</a>로 상승한 데 따른 것이다.
31개의 주요 미국 에너지 회사들을 추적하는 Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>)는 이번 주에 놀라운 7.14% 상승률을 기록했다. 이 펀드에는 엑슨 모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>)과 쉐브론(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>)과 같은 대기업들이 포함되어 있다.
투자자들은 이번 주에 XLE ETF에 거의 3억 달러를 쏟아부었으며, 이는 7월 말 이후 가장 높은 유입액이다.
미국 최대 석유 회사인 엑슨 모빌은 금요일 주가가 주당 125.19달러로 사상 최고가를 기록했다. 이 주식은 6일 연속으로 상승하며 주간에 8% 이상 상승하여 2022년 10월 이후 가장 좋은 성과를 기록했다.
원유 가격은 상승세를 이어갔으며, 서부 텍사스 중질유(WTI)는 4일 연속 상승하여 8월 말 이후 가장 높은 수준에 도달했다. 이스라엘과 이란 간의 지정학적 긴장은 세계 원유 공급 차질에 대한 우려를 촉발했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">중동 긴장 고조, 바이든은 신중한 이스라엘 대응 촉구</h3>
이스라엘은 이란이 화요일에 180개 이상의 탄도 미사일을 발사한 후 강력한 보복을 약속했다. 이스라엘의 공중 방어 시스템이 대부분의 미사일을 성공적으로 요격했지만, 이 공격은 이미 높아진 지역 불안을 더욱 악화시켰다.
금요일, 조 바이든 대통령은 백악관 일일 기자회견에서 격화되는 위기에 대해 언급했다. 그는 이스라엘의 자위권을 언급했지만, 이스라엘이 이란의 탄도미사일 공격에 어떻게 대응할지 아직 결정하지 않았다고 말했다.
바이든은 이스라엘에게 갈등을 더 이상 확대하지 말라고 조언하며, 이스라엘이 보복에서 유전 공격 대신 다른 대안을 고려할 수 있다고 제안했다.
이란의 최고 지도자인 아야톨라 알리 하메네이는 공격 이후 처음으로 공개석상에서 이번 공격을 이스라엘의 범죄에 대한 &#8216;합법적 처벌&#8217;이라고 옹호하고, 이 지역에서 이스라엘에 대한 더 큰 저항을 촉구했다고 로이터 통신이 보도했다.
이란 혁명수비대 부사령관도 이스라엘이 이란 영토를 공격하기로 결정하면 이란이 이스라엘 정유소와 가스전을 공격할 수 있다는 엄중한 경고를 발표했다.
