The demand for oil and natural gas is expected to increase as winter approaches, increasing prices. This should significantly benefit energy infrastructure companies, among others. Investor interest in the energy sector is evident from the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLE (NYSE:XLE)) 15% gains over the past month versus the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF’s (SPY) 2.5% loss.
Given this backdrop, it could be wise to bet on energy infrastructure stocks Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE:WES), Flowserve Corporation (NYSE:FLS), Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:HEP), and Star Group, L.P. (SGU).
