Distribution Cut Appears Likely for Navios Maritime Partners LP
Although the market for dry-bulk carriers appears close to a bottom, the timing of a significant turnaround remains a few years away. Against this backdrop, a distribution cut appears inevitable for Navios Maritime Partners.
Profit from General Knowledge
Income-seeking investors should consider the universe of pure-play general partners, a niche segment that comprises 12 names--six corporations and six publicly traded partnerships or limited liability companies. Although these names generally sport lower yields than the limited partnerships they manage, their superior distribution growth can generate impressive total returns.
MLPs Remain Popular Way to Monetize Energy-Related Assets
At the end of each quarterly earnings season, we review our database of conference call transcripts to identify companies that have publicly discussed spinning off assets in a master limited partnership. Despite its incomplete nature, this quarterly review provides invaluable insight into the pipeline of prospective publicly traded partnerships.
Focus on Undervalued Distribution Growth
Despite a challenging year for ethane and propane prices, this midstream MLP still managed to meet its target for double-digit distribution growth. With the price of these natural gas liquids bottoming out and an impressive slate of expansion projects on the horizon, the latest addition to our Focus List should deliver distribution growth of 10 percent to 12 percent in 2013.
