Current Report: Enterprise Products Partners May Gain 13.20% Next Year

Energy Products Partners LP (EPD) was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Houston, TX.

The company produces and trades natural gas and petrochemicals.

Three key data points gauge EPD (or any dividend-paying entity):

(1) Price 

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three keys also indicate if any company has made, is making, and will make money.

EPD Price

Enterprise Products Partners’ single-share price rose $5.29 or 17.2% in the past year, from $30.79 to $36.08 per Friday’s closing market report.

Twenty-one analysts cover the stock. The median of their one-year target estimates showed a $5.25 price gain ahead.

However, EPD’s past five years' price progression from $23.51 to $36.08 shows an average annual gain of about $2.51 as a prediction for the coming year’s returns. I’ll use that number to calculate returns after I discuss EPD dividends.

EPD Dividends

Enterprise Products Partners has paid generally increasing quarterly dividends since November 1998.

The most recent Q dividend of $0.56 was paid August 14th, 2026 (to shareholders of record July 31st), yielding $2.24 or 6.21% annually (per Thursday’s opening market report)  

EPD Returns

Putting it all together, as of October 9th, a possible Enterprise Products net gain of $4.75 was projected. 

To get there, our $2.51 per share averaged annual price gain was added to the $2.24 presumed forward-looking annual dividend to make that $4.75 gross gain. 

A little over $1000 invested in Enterprise at Friday’s $36.08 opening share price would buy 28 shares, which multiply the hypothetical $4.75 gross gain to $131.65 for the coming year, or 13.20%.

By the way, my dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of a dividend stock that pay an annual dividend (from $1000 invested) that is greater than the cost of one share.

Enterprise Products Partners’ projected annual dividend from $1K invested is $62.10, and that annual dividend proves to be over 1.72 times more than its recent $36.08 single-share price. 

The exact track of Enterprise Products Partners’ future share price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action and company finances.   

Remember, the best way to track stock performance and dividend payments is through direct ownership of company shares.
