Here's Why Energy Transfer Stock Is a Buy Before Aug. 6
Key Points Energy Transfer will report its second-quarter financial results on Wednesday. The MLP could also reveal that it has secured additional expansion projects. This week is the last time to buy Energy Transfer to receive its next distribution payment. 10 stocks we like better than Energy Transfer › This is a big week for Energy Transfer (NYSE: ET). The energy midstream giant reports its second-quarter financial results this week. Additionally, it will pay its next quarterly distribution to investors who hold shares by the end of the week. Given the timing of these pending catalysts, investors who are thinking about buying Energy Transfer should consider doing so before the market closes on Aug. 6. Here's why that's a noteworthy date. Earnings are coming Energy Transfer announced that it plans to release its second-quarter financial results after the market closes on Wednesday, Aug. 6. That report could serve as a catalyst for the master limited partnership's (MLP) unit price, which has declined by about 10% this year. A strong second-quarter report could provide a jolt that reinvigorates the company's unit price. The midstream giant is coming off a solid quarter. Its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose nearly 6% in the first quarter to $4.1 billion, though its distributable cash flow slipped 2% to $2.3 billion. The company delivered record interstate natural gas transportation volumes (up 3%) and strong crude oil volume growth (10% increase). It benefited from healthy market conditions and the impact of last year's acquisition of WTG Midstream. Its second-quarter financial results should start seeing the initial benefits of a major wave of organic expansion projects. The company has completed the initial phases of some Permian processing plant upgrades, its Sabina 2 Pipeline conversion, and ethane and propane services at its Nederland Flexport NGL Expansion project. It's also completing several natural gas-fired electric generation facilities to support its operations in Texas. These projects should have started supplying the MLP with incremental earnings and cash flow in the second quarter, potentially accelerating its growth rate. New growth catalysts coming? Another potential upside catalyst that could emerge with Energy Transfer's earnings report is the unveiling of new growth drivers. For example, the MLP has several proposed expansion projects that are on the cusp of reaching a final investment decision (FID). The biggest is its long-delayed Lake Charles LNG project. The company already announced two major new developments related to that project over the past few months. Energy Transfer secured several new customer contracts supporting the project, including an expansion of its agreement with Chevron. Additionally, the MLP secured MidOcean Energy as a joint venture partner to help fund the project. Announcing that it has finally made an FID on this project could provide the MLP's unit price with a big boost. Energy Transfer is also working on several potential projects to supply natural gas to artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, including a previously proposed project for Cloudburst's AI data center. Formally securing that project and others linked to AI data centers could also be a major catalyst for the unit price. The last chance to lock in the next distribution payment This week is also an important one for income-focused investors. Energy Transfer will pay its next quarterly distribution on Aug. 19. However, investors need to own units of the MLP by the time the market closes on Friday, Aug. 8. If you buy units after that date, you won't receive your first distribution payment until mid-November, when the company will likely make its third-quarter payment. Energy Transfer's upcoming quarterly payment will be $0.33 per unit ($1.32 annualized). This rate gives it a distribution yield of 7.4% at its recent unit price. The payment is up from $0.3275 last quarter ($1.31 annualized) and a more than 3% increase compared to its payment in the second quarter of last year. The MLP has been bumping up its payment each quarter, aiming to raise it by 3% to 5% annually. The energy company's high-yielding and steadily rising distribution makes it a great investment option for those seeking to generate passive income. However, it's worth noting that the MLP sends its investors a Schedule K-1 federal tax form each year, which can complicate your taxes. It's essential to understand the benefits and drawbacks of investing in MLPs, such as Energy Transfer, before purchasing units for your portfolio. A big week for Energy Transfer Investors who are thinking about buying units of Energy Transfer should consider making the trade before the market closes on Aug. 6. That way, they would hold shares before its upcoming earnings report and distribution payment. Should you invest $1,000 in Energy Transfer right now?

Sandstorm Gold Royalties Supports Royal Gold's Acquisition of Kansanshi Gold Stream
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 5, 2025 /CNW/ - Sandstorm Gold Ltd. ("Sandstorm Gold Royalties", "Sandstorm" or the "Company") (NYSE: SAND) (TSX: SSL) today acknowledges and supports Royal Gold Inc.'s ("Royal Gold") acquisition of a gold stream on the Kansanshi copper-gold mine for US$1 billion. Royal Gold announced earlier today that the company has entered into a precious metals purchase agreement for gold deliveries referenced to copper production from the Kansanshi copper-gold mine in the North Western Province of Zambia, operated and 80% owned by a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals Ltd. Royal Gold will fund the gold stream with available cash and the company's revolving credit facility without issuing new shares. For full details, refer to Royal Gold's press release dated August 5, 2025. "Sandstorm is pleased to support Royal Gold's acquisition of the Kansanshi gold stream," commented Nolan Watson, President and CEO of Sandstorm. "Our acquisition agreement with Royal Gold specifically contemplated the potential for a large stream acquisition before closing the Royal Gold/Sandstorm transaction, and we are pleased with today's announcement. Being part of a larger and well-capitalized entity creates the opportunity for Sandstorm shareholders to benefit from exposure to larger acquisitions. The Kansanshi transaction is an excellent example of a cash-flowing stream on a large, long-life mine with current reserves supporting a 20-year mine life from a first-tier operator. The gold stream is expected to add approximately 35,000 to 40,000 ounces per year over the next 10 years, further enhancing the combined portfolio." On July 6, 2025, Sandstorm entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Royal Gold pursuant to which Royal Gold will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sandstorm in an all-share transaction. For more information regarding the proposed acquisition, refer to the Company's press release dated July 7, 2025. ABOUT SANDSTORM GOLD ROYALTIES Sandstorm is a precious metals-focused royalty company that provides upfront financing to mining companies and receives the right to a percentage of production from a mine, for the life of the mine. Sandstorm holds a portfolio of approximately 230 royalties, of which 40 of the underlying mines are producing. Sandstorm plans to grow and diversify its low-cost production profile through the acquisition of additional gold royalties. For more information visit: CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS TO U.S. SECURITYHOLDERS The financial information included or incorporated by reference in this press release or the documents referenced herein has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differs from US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") in certain material respects, and thus are not directly comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP. This press release and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ from the previous and current standards of the United States securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "inferred mineral resources,", "indicated mineral resources," "measured mineral resources" and "mineral resources" used or referenced herein and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") — CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). For United States reporting purposes, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to modernize the mining property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which became effective February 25, 2019. The SEC Modernization Rules more closely align the SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101, and replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7. Issuers were required to comply with the SEC Modernization Rules in their first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, the Corporation is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained or incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by United States companies subject to the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be "substantially similar" to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards that are required under NI 43-101. While the SEC will now recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of the mineralization in these categories will be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves without further work and analysis. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable without further work and analysis. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to a higher category without further work and analysis. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. While the above terms are "substantially similar" to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules or under the prior standards of SEC Industry Guide 7.
