    The stock market soared on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing nearly 400 points and other major benchmarks following suit with solid gains. The big news that investors took positively was the decision by the U.S. and China to hold a new round of trade talks. Those watching the trade conflict believe that the move signals a potential lessening of tensions that could even result in a long-term solution for the two trading partners. Some stocks benefited from the prospects of better relations with China, but others rose due to good news of their own. Symantec (NASDAQ:SYMC), Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA), and Century Aluminum (NASDAQ:CENX) were among the best performers on the day. Here's why they did so well.

    Thursday was a good day on Wall Street, with the broad-based S&P 500 climbing out of an early hole to gain about half a percent on the day. Concerns about the ongoing escalation of trade disputes evaporated in light of strong performance from the technology sector, which sent the Nasdaq Composite up sharply. Even with the broader gains, some stocks missed out on the market's optimism. Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN), Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (NASDAQ:RRGB), and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA) were among the worst performers. Here's why they did so poorly.

Top Energy Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Phillips 66 Partners LP(PSXP)

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    While those customer commitments were hard to come by over the past few years due to the turbulence in the oil market, energy companies are beginning to grow more optimistic about the future. Because of that, Phillips 66 Partners (NYSE:PSXP) and several other partners were able to secure the necessary commitments to move forward with the Gray Oak Pipeline, which will transport oil out of the fast-growing Permian Basin. That project will enable these companies to generate more income, likely allowing them to boost their already above-average payouts.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    The region's capacity constraints will likely hold back the Permian's growth engine until the end of next year, when new pipelines enter service. One of those projects is the Grey Oak Pipeline system, which is an 800,000-BPD pipeline under development by Phillips 66 Partners (NYSE:PSXP) and Andeavor (NYSE:ANDX). The companies currently expect the $2 billion oil pipeline to start up by the end of 2019.

    Investing in midstream master limited partnerships is generally all about the distributions, which the tax-efficient corporate structure is designed to provide to unitholders. However, that doesn't always mean a high distribution yield is the goal, which is the key to determining if Holly Energy Partners, LP (NYSE:HEP) or Phillips 66 Partners LP (NYSE:PSXP) is the better buy. Here's what you need to know to make an informed decision between these stocks.

    Over the past few years, much of the company's growth capital spending has been for its midstream segment. It appears the trend will continue in 2019. In the company's capital budget for this year, it expects to spend about $2.9 billion. A little less than half of that will go toward midstream assets that include its investments in subsidiary master limited partnership Phillips 66 Partners (NYSE:PSXP). Management still believes that the greatest source of returns right now is increasing pipeline access from high-growth shale basins to major demand centers such as the U.S. Gulf Coast.

    The highlights Enbridge closed all of the outstanding deals for its subsidiary partnerships, making it a single entity.  Management announced it had secured three new major capital projects that will add CA$1.8 billion to its project backlog. These include the Gray Oak pipeline, a joint venture with Phillips 66 Partners (NYSE:PSXP) and Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC), and several expansions of its gas transmission in the Gulf Coast region. It's flagship project -- the Line 3 replacement -- got over a few more regulatory hurdles that allowed it to start the federal and Minnesota state permitting process. With construction ongoing in Canada, it expects to complete both the Canadian and U.S. portion of the line in the second half of 2019. The board of directors approved a 10% increase to its dividend in 2019 and anticipates another 10% increase in 2020. Management is projecting a 5% to 7% increase in distributable cash flow per share beyond 2020. In January after the end of the fourth quarter, financial rating agency Moody's upgraded Enbridge's senior unsecured debt. Management projects that net debt to adjusted EBITDA will be around 4.5 times for 2019 and lower for 2020.
