Recent Payouts
NuStar Energy recently paid out quarterly distributions to its unitholders of record on Nov 8. The amount was distributed on Nov 14 represents an annualized payout of $2.40 with 8.67% yield. Currently, NuStar Energy’s payout ratio stands at 428.57%.
Q3 Performance
NuStar Energy’s third-quarter 2019 earnings and sales lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The partnership posted adjusted earnings per unit of 15 cents, lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents. Weaker storage terminal revenues and higher operating expenses of the storage unit can be attributed to the earnings miss.
Nonetheless, the bottom line reversed the year-ago loss of $3.49 a unit on the back of solid operations from the Pipeline segment amid expanded throughput volumes from crude oil pipelines.
