In short: Transportation layer: "very large natural gas distribution systems" moving gas to the power generators — a PWRX candidate, and already held in WEEI as its midstream example.

In plain English

Williams owns huge natural-gas pipeline networks — the toll roads that carry gas from the wells to the power plants. Pipelines grow more slowly than the tech names but pay steady income, which is why he pegs this "transportation" layer as a source of the fund's income. It's also already in his oil & gas fund, WEEI.

10:04You're looking at companies like a Williams for example that has very large natural gas distribution systems. In addition to that, we're also looking at potentially some of the distribution of the power. So, the wire line producers, the companies that are actually mining for the copper that's used to build these wire lines. We've got tens of thousands of miles of actual electricity power lines here in the United States that are getting very old.

In short: The M&A constraint, named explicitly: "when you speak to a Williams who trade at a multiple much higher than Rockpoint it would be very hard for us to get one of those beautiful assets from them at an accretive price." Storage is "really coveted" by its owners. Competitor/valuation reference, not a stance.

1:04:12And so all those things add up in our case to a commitment of about $150 million over the next three years to unlock 5 to 7% of expansion that we feel will be in the four to six build multiple based on all of our experience, which is great value for shareholders. And then beyond that we are looking at bigger things. When I get asked about M&A the one thing that I want to remind people is most of the storage in North America is really coveted. And when you speak to a Williams who trade at a

In short: The last name Terranova read out of his energy adds — natural-gas pipelines, "we're across the board getting very aggressive." Amoroso frames the whole sleeve as a hold-for-optionality position: even a peace deal leaves drawn inventories and higher US production, "and it gives you that optionality if there's another geopolitical flare up."

In plain English

Williams operates major interstate natural-gas pipelines, including the Transco system feeding the eastern US. It was the last name in Terranova's read-out — "we're across the board getting very aggressive."

Amoroso frames the whole basket as a position worth holding for optionality: even if a peace deal reopens the Strait of Hormuz and crude falls, inventories are drawn down and US production is up, "and it gives you that optionality if there's another geopolitical flare-up."

In short: The article's best performer (up 10% YTD) — "focuses on natural gas and has a side business supplying power plants for data centers." Squarely in Sanghani's preferred natural-gas-over-liquids bucket.

In plain English

Williams owns long-haul natural-gas pipelines — the toll roads that move gas around the country. It's the article's standout (up 10% this year) for two reasons: it's almost purely natural gas (not oil), and it has a growing side business piping gas to power plants that run AI data centers.

That matches the analysts' core advice — in a year when oil is weak, the gas-focused pipeline names are holding up far better than the ones tied to oil.
