## Elevator Pitch

- I maintain my contrarian underperform/sell rating on Energy Transfer and its preferred shares, despite widespread bullish sentiment.
- Weak macroeconomic indicators are reason enough to retain a bearish view on the company. But there are some new concerns as well.
- Higher-for-longer interest rates and large capex funding needs increase leverage risks, especially if ET can't secure more equity partners for its Lake Charles Project.
- Distributions appear safe for now, but the numbers show that the margin of safety is eroding gradually.
- ET's valuations are near long-term fair value, but the relative technicals vs. SPX500 look more bearish now, warning of underperformance in the quarters ahead.
