Finding Undervalued Opportunities From AI and Data Center Demand in E&Ps and Midstream

Stephen Ellis

We think AI and data center demand offers a potentially sizable growth opportunity across our US E&P and US & Canadian midstream coverage list. We consider Chart Industries, Energy Transfer, Enbridge, Kinder Morgan, and TC Energy as undervalued ways to play this trend. Cheniere Energy and Williams are more fairly valued, while Antero, Range, and likely EQT (not covered) are obvious direct opportunities and appear expensive.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

A large, well-positioned network allows Williams to invest in high-return growth projects with minimal regulatory hurdles.

Bears

Williams is focused almost exclusively on natural gas, meaning any upside in other energy prices will have little impact on earnings or valuation.
