Better Buy: Kinder Morgan vs. Enterprise Products Partners
In the domestic midstream energy sector, two names stand out for their size and scale: Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) and Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD). The two have fallen along with the broader energy sector this year. But investors looking at the energy sector for opportunities should strongly consider a midstream player -- and as two of the largest and best-known names in that space, Kinder Morgan and Enterprise are good starting points. Here's a quick look at how they match up.
Kinder Morgan's market cap is roughly $34 billion, while Enterprise weighs in at around $37 billion. So they are both pretty big entities. However, the real issue here isn't the value that Wall Street places on these midstream players, it's the actual scope of their operations.
