On CAPS, 98% of the 1,173 members who have rated Enterprise believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Classof1964 and MatyaNoBaaka.

A few months ago, Classof1964 wrote that Enterprise "will outperform because of its scale, high entry costs into the industry, the demand for energy in the US economy, and the inability of the US to conserve energy."

Currently, Enterprise even boasts an attractive dividend yield of 5.8%. That's higher than industry peers like Spectra (4%), Williams (2.9%), and Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) (3.1%).

CAPS member MatyaNoBaaka elaborates on the Enterprise bull case:

A gas and oil pipeline company in mid-America. It earns based on fees avoiding the commodity spikes and troughs. And as one of the main suppliers of WTI to refineries the fees keep coming. The partnership distribution is what first attracted me to [Teppco Partners] which was bought out by EPD a couple of years ago.
