# Weekly Recap | Energy Transfer LP -0.29%, Vaquero Midstream acquisition

## The Week

Energy Transfer LP (ET) ended the week at $20.41, down 0.29% against a 1.15% rise for the S&P 500 — a relative pullback of about 1.44 percentage points. The tape was choppy: Monday and Tuesday pushed higher within a $20.34-20.74 band, Wednesday spiked to $20.805 before sliding to an intraday low of $20.15, Thursday recovered to $20.62, and Friday settled back at $20.41. The full-week range was around 3.22%.

## Key Events

The centrepiece this week was the 6 October announcement that Energy Transfer will acquire Vaquero Midstream in a $2.63 billion cash-and-units deal. The transaction points to further consolidation of Permian midstream assets. On 9 October, ET picked up a buy rating tied to the deal, with the analyst view framed around greater Permian scale and improved cash-flow visibility. Around that, deal activity across the energy complex stepped up, with several roundups pairing ET alongside peer M&A news. Brent briefly rallied more than 4% on U.S.-Iran tensions and Hurricane Isaias before supply optimism pulled oil back. Filings included one S-3DPOS registration statement, a routine disclosure item.

## The Week Ahead

The macro calendar fills up next week: the NFIB small-business optimism index (prior 98.7) and existing-home sales annual rate (prior 3.98, forecast 3.96) land on 13 October, followed by headline and core CPI on 14 October. For high-cash-flow midstream names, inflation readings feed the rate outlook and, in turn, the sector’s relative appeal. The follow-through from this week’s acquisition announcement is also worth tracking.

## In Short

The price action was quiet, but the event flow was not. The Vaquero Midstream deal and the broader pickup in energy M&A form one narrative thread, while the sharp up-and-down in oil added directional noise. On valuations, the latest P/E sits near 13.92x with a dividend yield of roughly 6.59%, pointing to an income-oriented profile, while the most recent trading day showed large-lot money on the net-buy side. The signals are not one-sided. Next week’s macro prints and the oil tape will determine whether this week’s transaction-led expectations hold.
