With a market capitalisation around $7.45 billion, it tends to attract investors seeking exposure to midstream and utility-style cash flows and a consistent dividend record. Important considerations include regulated revenue for distribution and transportation businesses, which can provide stability, alongside exposure to commodity and volume risk in marketing and upstream segments.
