Cheniere Energy (LNG) to Acquire Cheniere Partners Holdings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Cheniere Energy, Inc. (LNG - Free Report) recently agreed to acquire all of the remaining outstanding units of Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings, LLC through a stock for unit transaction. The acquiree, Cheniere Partners Holdings, is expected to add tremendous value to Cheniere Energy’s business, as discussed below.
Deal Details
Per the deal, the unitholders of Cheniere Partners Holdings will get 0.4750 shares of Cheniere Energy for each unit they hold. Based on the closing price as of Jun 18, the transaction is valued at $30.93 per unit of Cheniere Partners Holdings.
Notably, 92% of Cheniere Partners Holdings’ units are already owned by Cheniere Energy. The acquisition is expected to be over by September, following which Cheniere Partners Holdings will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cheniere.
At the end of the first quarter, Cheniere Partners Holdings possessed 48.6% interest in Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (CQP - Free Report) , which owns liquefaction facilities of natural gas located at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal. Moreover, Cheniere Energy Partners owns the Creole Trail Pipeline, which connects the terminal with interstate pipelines and six natural gas liquefaction trains, two of which are yet to come online.
Notably, the deal — anticipated to qualify as a “tax-free reorganization” for the acquiree’s unitholders — follows the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s policy revision issued in March, related to federal income taxes. The policy revision triggered similar reactions earlier from other midstream companies such as Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) .
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
