Does Western Midstream (WES) have what it takes to be a top stock pick for momentum investors? Let's find out.

Western Midstream (WES) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?

These top oil stocks stand out entering September, as both currently sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and offer dividend yields above 5%.

The best income investments combine attractive valuations with strong underlying cash flows. We discuss two picks rich in cash flows and fundamentals, currently trading at bargain valuations. We like to get paid while waiting for value to be recognized.

Midstream MLPs and corporations generally posted strong second-quarter earnings, benefiting from record volume throughput, strong margins, and robust demand for natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) exports. Companies also demonstrated the defensive nature of their fee-based cash flows.

I reiterate my Strong Buy on Western Midstream: the April call worked, returning ~25%, but the growth-led thesis ahead still stands. The rerating to EPD's multiple is largely done, so returns from here rely on 7-8% EBITDA growth, not multiple expansion. Growth alone supports ~15% returns at a flat multiple; the compressed ~7.6% yield matters mainly for fresh income-only entries.

Western Midstream offers above-average growth potential. WES prioritizes opportunistic acquisitions, exemplified by the Aris Water and Brazos deals. Take-or-pay contracts and long-lived agreements provide WES with downside protection.

Western Midstream raises 2026 guidance after record EBITDA, higher throughput and early Brazos gains strengthen its growth outlook.

WES holds a 7.5% equity interest in the Solitude Pipeline System joint venture which has reached a positive Final Investment Decision to construct two 48-inch natural gas pipelines running from the Permian Basin to Katy, Texas. Solitude will deliver scalable, long-haul natural gas transportation, with initial capacity of approximately 2.25 Bcf/d expected in late 2029 and an additional 2.25 Bcf/d in 2030 with the ability to increase capacity thereafter to accommodate shipper demand.
