THE VALUE METER

Plains All American: A Solid Energy Value Play

Anthony Summers, Director of Trading, The Oxford Club

Energy markets have been anything but calm, with shifting oil prices and investor skepticism keeping midstream stocks under pressure. Yet beneath that volatility, some companies continue to generate steady cash and return capital – even as their valuations lag the broader market.

Plains All American Pipeline (Nasdaq: PAA) is a major crude oil midstream operator focused on transportation, storage, and logistics across North America. The company has been actively reshaping its portfolio, emphasizing crude oil assets while divesting parts of its natural gas liquid business to streamline operations and improve focus.

Its most recent results, reported for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, show a business that remains operationally solid. Net income reached $342 million for the quarter and $1.4 billion for the full year (an 86% increase from 2024), while operating cash flow totaled $785 million in the quarter and $2.9 billion for the year.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) came in at $738 million for the quarter and $2.8 billion for the year. Management also guided to roughly $2.8 billion in adjusted EBITDA for 2026 and expects about $1.8 billion in adjusted free cash flow, alongside a 10% increase in its annual distribution.

That brings us to valuation.View larger image

Plains currently trades at an EV/NAV ratio of 2.18 – well below the broad market average of 3.9. In other words, investors are paying significantly less for each dollar of assets compared with the typical company.

This discount suggests the market remains cautious about the durability of midstream companies’ earnings despite their stable asset bases.

On the cash flow side, the picture looks very different. Plains generates quarterly free cash flow equal to 5.07% of its net asset value, which is far above the market average of 1.15%.

That level of cash-efficiency indicates the company is extracting substantially more income from its asset base than most peers.

Growth consistency adds another layer. Over the past three years, quarterly free cash flow has increased sequentially about 63.6% of the time, compared with a 45.5% average across the broader market. This points to a relatively steady, if not rapid, pattern of cash generation.

At first glance, Plains appears to be a typical energy name facing macro uncertainty and limited production growth.

But is there more to the story that the market is missing?Here’s My Take…
