Read MoreHide Full Article

Enterprise Q2 Earnings & Revenues Beat Estimates

Total quarterly revenues of $16,060 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $12,211 million. The top line significantly increased from $9,450 million in the prior-year quarter.
The strong results were driven by higher contributions from the NGL Pipelines & Services business.
