Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Energy Transfer has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Energy Transfer's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Energy Transfer's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.97%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Peering Into Energy Transfer's Recent Short Interest

Units of Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/et#NYSE">ET</a>) have rallied 21.8% year to date compared with its industry&#39;s growth of 20.8%. The oil and gas midstream firm owns a wide network of pipelines across the United States and is pursuing opportunities to serve growing power loads from new demand centers across its network.
The firm is also a top exporter of liquefied petroleum gas and is working to expand natural gas liquids export facilities to cater to the rising demand for NGL globally.

<h2>Factors Acting as Tailwinds for ET Stock</h2>
Energy Transfer owns more than 130,000 miles of pipelines across the United States and is expanding its operation through organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions. ET&#39;s operations are spread across 44 states. The firm has been making one large accretive acquisition each year since 2021. The WTG acquisition closed earlier this year expanded ET&#39;s natural gas pipeline and processing network in the Permian Basin.
Energy Transfer has a well-balanced asset mix that provides strong earnings support. ET&#39;s oil and gas pipelines, gathering and processing, and storage assets are spread in major U.S. basins and growing demand markets. The firm will invest $3-3.2 billion in 2024 to further expand and strengthen its asset base.
Energy Transfer has a NGL and Crude oil export capacity of more than 1.1 million barrels per day and 1.9 million barrels, respectively. The firm is working to increase its NGL export capabilities through the expansion of Marcus Hook and Nederland export terminals. The company&#39;s market share of worldwide NGL exports remains around 20%.
<h2>Management Ownership in ET Rises</h2>
ET&#39;s management and insiders own a sizeable chunk of its units. Management members and independent board members continue to purchase units of the firm. Energy Transfer insiders bought more than 44 million units worth $468 million since January 2021. The increasing ownership of insiders indicates bright prospects and sustainable growth amid the rising demand in the midstream space.
<h2>ET&#39;s Earnings Estimates Suggest Y/Y Rise</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Energy Transfer&#39;s 2024 and 2025 earnings per unit indicates year-over-year growth of 28.4% and 12.6%, respectively.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/60/75799.jpg?v=623562437" style="height:301px; width:600px" />

<h2>ET&#39;s Units are Undervalued</h2>
Energy Transfer units are somewhat inexpensive on a relative basis, with its current trailing 12-month Enterprise Value/Earnings before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (EV/EBITDA) being 10.32 compared with the industry average of 11.62.
Another firm operating in this space, Plains All American Pipeline (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/paa#NASDAQ">PAA</a>), is also trading at a discount on an EV/EBITDA basis compared with its industry.

<h2>Summing Up</h2>
Entergy Transfer, with more than 130,000 miles of pipeline and related infrastructure in 44 states, is poised well to benefit from the improving oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes in the United States.
This can be a favorable entry point for investors, given the positive movement in earnings estimates and the firm trading at a discount. The increasing insider ownership in the firm also signals sustainable growth.
Those who already own this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock would do well to retain it in their portfolios.

Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock&#39;s price, do they really matter?
Let&#39;s take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/et#NYSE">ET</a>) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Energy Transfer LP currently has an average brokerage recommendation&nbsp;of 1.20, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 15 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.20 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 15 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 13 are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 86.7% and 6.7% of all recommendations.
<h2>Brokerage Recommendation Trends for ET</h2>
<img alt="Broker Rating Breakdown Chart for ET" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/yesopchart/brokerage_bar/ET_08082024.png" style="width:100%" title="" /> 
The ABR suggests buying Energy Transfer LP, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every &quot;Strong Sell&quot; recommendation, brokerage firms assign five &quot;Strong Buy&quot; recommendations.
This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock&#39;s future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock&#39;s price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
<h2>ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks Rank</h2>
Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1-5, they are different measures altogether.
The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers&#39; vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
<h2>Should You Invest in ET?</h2>
Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Energy Transfer LP, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 2.5% over the past month to $1.49.
Analysts&#39; growing optimism over the company&#39;s earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to soar in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for Energy Transfer LP.
Therefore, the Buy-equivalent ABR for Energy Transfer LP may serve as a useful guide for investors.

EMO: Very Attractive Portfolio, Albeit With Some Risk

With rising oil prices and a positive outlook from key industry organizations, the energy sector is poised for significant growth in the future. Therefore, investors would be wise to add fundamentally strong and undervalued energy stocks, Energy Transfer (ET), DNOW (DNOW), and MRC Global (MRC), to their portfolio, as these companies are primed for a breakout. Read on… As the conflict in the Middle East intensifies, rising oil prices have drawn significant interest from investors in the energy sector. Oil prices <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgry10924jqo">surged nearly 10%</a> at the start of the month, reaching around $78 per barrel. Despite rumors of supply chain disruptions, the energy sector remains optimistic about its future.
Amid this, Energy Transfer LP (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ET/">ET</a>), DNOW Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/DNOW/">DNOW</a>), and MRC Global Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MRC/">MRC</a>) are three undervalued energy stocks that seem ready for a breakout. Their strong fundamentals, coupled with the rising demand for energy, make them attractive investment opportunities in the current market landscape.
The ongoing altercation between Hamas and Israel has heightened concerns about supply chain interruptions. However, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) remain confident.
OPEC forecasts global energy demand to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/24/opec-is-bullish-on-long-term-oil-demand-growth-not-everyone-agrees.html">grow by 24%</a> between 2024 and 2050. It also expects robust medium-term growth in oil demand, predicting it will reach 112.3 million barrels per day by 2029.
The IEA, similarly, anticipates a global demand for natural gas to <a href="https://www.iea.org/news/natural-gas-demand-growth-picks-up-in-2024-amid-uncertainties-over-supply">rise of more than 2.5%</a> in 2024, with similar growth projected for 2025. In line with this, King's Research estimates the global oil and gas market to reach $8.92 trillion by 2031, at <a href="https://www.kingsresearch.com/oil-and-gas-market-177">a CAGR of 3.7%</a> from 2024 to 2031.
The optimistic outlook reinforces the potential of energy stocks, even amid geopolitical tensions. Keeping these trends in mind, let us delve into the fundamentals of three energy stocks that are currently trading at a discount, beginning with #3.

3 Undervalued Energy Stocks Ready for a Breakout

Heightened tensions in the Middle East have ignited a surge in oil prices, casting a spotlight on the energy sector and amplifying its allure. Hence, fundamentally sound energy stocks Sabine Royalty (SBR), Obsidian Energy (OBE), and Energy Transfer (ET), each boasting formidable growth potential, might emerge as opportune buys for investors seeking resilience and upside in today's market. Read on... While the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel has raised concerns about potential supply chain disruptions, both the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) maintain a confident outlook. In light of this situation, we present quality energy stocks, Sabine Royalty Trust (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SBR/">SBR</a>), Obsidian Energy Ltd. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OBE/">OBE</a>), and Energy Transfer LP (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ET/">ET</a>),  that are well-positioned for strong growth as oil prices surge.
As tensions intensify across the Middle East, energy markets are keenly attuned to the surging oil prices, which have experienced a <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgry10924jqo">noteworthy increase</a> of nearly by the start of October, reaching approximately $78 per barrel.
OPEC forecasts <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/24/opec-is-bullish-on-long-term-oil-demand-growth-not-everyone-agrees.html">a 24% increase</a> in global energy demand between 2024 and 2050, anticipating robust medium-term growth in oil consumption, which is projected to reach 112.3 million barrels per day by 2029. Similarly, the IEA anticipates a global demand for natural gas to <a href="https://www.iea.org/news/natural-gas-demand-growth-picks-up-in-2024-amid-uncertainties-over-supply">rise by more than 2.5%</a> in 2024, with similar growth projected for 2025.
With these trends in focus, let's examine the fundamentals of three <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/energy-oil-gas/">Energy – Oil &amp; Gas</a> stocks, starting with #3.
Stock #3: Sabine Royalty Trust (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SBR/">SBR</a>)
SBR holds royalty and mineral interests in various oil and gas production properties in the United States. Its royalty and mineral interests include landowner's royalties, overriding royalty interests, minerals, production payments, and other similar non-participatory interests in certain producing and proved undeveloped oil and gas properties.
