The midstream group is clinging to a positive month of performance with just 4 more trading days left, but midstream is way off the pace of the S&P 500, utilities and infrastructure this week, this year and the last 6 years. Lower oil and natural gas prices were a headwind to midstream trading in a light week of relevant sector news.

One Million Lost Power in Storm That Spawned Chicago Tornado
(Bloomberg) -- More than one million homes and businesses lost power across the U.S. Midwest after a wall of lightning, hail and deadly winds ripped through Chicago and elsewhere, tearing apart trees and houses.The line of storms, 160 miles (257 kilometers) wide, cut a path of destruction across Iowa, Illinois and Indiana Monday. Wind gusts of 100 miles per hour and more were clocked across Iowa, damaging corn crops and knocking down silos. At least one brief tornado formed in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago before heading into Lake Michigan, according to a preliminary report from the National Weather Service.Most of the outages are in Iowa and Illinois, including about 280,000 in Chicago and its suburbs, according to Exelon Corp.’s Commonwealth Edison. They come on the heels of Tropical Storm Isaias knocking out power to more than 2 million customers on the East Coast, leaving some without power for a week.Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. and Cargill Inc. crop-processing complexes in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, were knocked offline. Heartland Co-op in Iowa said late Monday it had serious damage at 21 locations. “Several locations are rendered inoperable and we are making contingency plans for managing the fall harvest,” the company said in a statement on its website.Read More: ADM Says Iowa Corn Processing Facility Offline After StormJarod Creed, owner of farm advisory JC Marketing Services LLC in Hudson, Iowa, estimated that as much as 100 million bushels of grain storage space was damaged or ruined in Iowa, and as many as 1.5 million to 2 million acres each of corn and soybeans across the state could be affected.Kinder Morgan Inc.’s Argo, Illinois, ethanol terminal outside of Chicago, a key hub for the biofuel market, was running on generator power on Tuesday as the local utility worked to restore service.The storm almost certainly meets the definition of a powerful system known as a derecho, said Rick Otto, a forecaster at the U.S. Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.Derechos are characterized by their large size and capacity for destruction. They can scour a landscape with damaging hail, dangerous wind gusts capable of throwing two-by-fours through walls, and even tornadoes.The storm got its start from thunderstorms and instability in the atmosphere across South Dakota and Nebraska Monday, then picked up strength and began ripping its way through Iowa and beyond.In recent years, hail has caused from $8 billion to $14 billion a year in insured losses, according to insurance giant Aon Plc.(Updates with Chicago tornado in second paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

3 Stocks Flashing Signs of Strong Insider Buying
We’re living in interesting times, as the cliché goes, but that’s hardly a curse for investors. Stocks are climbing, despite the ongoing corona crisis and the shaky economic restart. By now, we all know that Q2 GDP fell badly; the 39.2% contraction was the worst since record keeping began. It would appear that the really bad news was already baked into investors’ expectation.One way to gauge the quality of the markets is to watch the corporate officers. These execs and board members are charged with guiding their companies through good times and bad – and they are privy to more information than the general public. Since it’s only human nature for them to use that info in their personal stock purchases, regulators require that they publish those purchases. It helps to level the playing field; we get to see what the insiders bought, and how much of their own money they put down.TipRanks collects that insider trading data, and puts it in the context of the larger markets. The Insiders’ Hot Stocks tool lets you follow the insiders, sorting the data by stock or by trading strategy. It’s a smart way to get an inside track, and to demonstrate, we’ve picked three stocks that have recently skewed strongly positive on the strength of insider trades. T-Mobile US (TMUS)The third largest wireless provider in the US markets has had a good year. It completed its merger with Sprint (previously the fourth-largest wireless provider) on April 1, and has not only recovered from the February/March market crash, but surpassed its February peak share value.Looking ahead, T-Mobile expects to see rapid gains from absorbing Sprint’s customer base and from its own heavy investment in 5G. T-Mobile rolled out the service on a limited basis in 2018, and has since expanded to cover most major urban centers. The union with Sprint added that company’s 5G service to the mix, and T-Mobile launched a 5G network on 600 MHz (the primary band for the service) in December.All of this has supported the stock price, and three members of the Board of Directors bought up blocks of shares recently. Board member Raul Marcelo Claure spent $16.57 million to pick up over 302,000 shares on July 21, in the largest insider purchase, while two other Board members made lesser purchases. Kelvin Westbrook and Teresa Taylor spent $69K and $124K on TMUS shares, respectively. All of these transactions pushed the insider sentiment on T-Mobile strongly positive, and Wall Street has been impressed. Deutsche Bank’s Bryan Kraft commented, "We believe T-Mobile has a massive EBITDA and FCF growth opportunity in front of it; driven by merger synergies, improved scale, an industry-leading spectrum position, a turnaround of the legacy Sprint operations, and continued subscriber momentum in the preexisting T-Mobile operations."To this end, Kraft rates TMUS a Buy along with a $140 price target, which implies nearly 30% upside potential from current levels. (To watch Kraft’s track record, click here)Overall, T-Mobile shares get a Strong Buy rating from the analyst consensus, based on 13 Buys against just 3 Holds. The stock is selling for $108, and the average price target of $116.68 suggests its still has room for 7.5% upward growth this year. (See T-Mobile stock analysis on TipRanks)Kinder Morgan (KMI)Next up, Kinder Morgan, is a major player in the North American energy infrastructure. The company owns and operates natural gas and petroleum product pipelines, totaling over 83,000 miles. Kinder Morgan has the largest network of natural gas pipelines in the US, and also operates over 150 pipeline terminals.Depressed demand for oil and gas during the economic shutdown put serious presser on KMI shares, which have still not fully recovered. The company’s earnings slipped in Q1, and fell further in Q2, down to just 17 cents per share. But EPS remained in positive numbers, and the guidance for Q3 is better, at 20 cents. Despite the low earnings, the company announced earlier this month that it will pay out the Q2 regular dividend at 26.25 cents per share. That represents a 5% year-over-year increase, and gives a strong yield of 7.45%.A few days after the earnings release and dividend declaration, Richard Kinder, EC and Director, laid down $4.24 million to add another 300,000 shares to his holdings. After the purchase, Kinder owns more than $3.7 billion worth of KMI. Justin Jenkins, writing for Raymond James, agrees that there is plenty to like about KMI stock. He writes, “[We] still like Kinder Morgan's (KMI) relative positioning. Given lower relative variability in base cash flow, similarly solid/stable leverage, and broad diversification, we think shares of KMI should Outperform... Longer-term, we believe the themes of conservative dividend growth, insider ownership, C-Corp. tax status, and steady progress towards lower leverage should place KMI ahead of most of the rest of the midstream group…”In line with his comments, Jenkins reiterates his Buy rating on the stock, and his $17 price target implies an upside potential of 22% for the coming year. (To watch Jenkins’ track record, click here)Overall, KMI's Moderate Buy consensus rating is based on 10 reviews, including 4 Buys, 5 Holds, and 1 Sell. Shares are trading at $14, and the $17.60 average price target suggests a 26% upside. (See KMI's stock analysis at TipRanks)FB Financial Corporation (FBK)Nashville-based FB Financial, last on today’s list, is a bank holding company and owner of First Bank, with 73 branches in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky offering both full-service banking and mortgage services to individual and commercial customers. FBK boasts over $6.4 billion in assets.Earlier this month, FBK gave investors a pleasant surprise, reporting strong EPS gains in Q2. The earnings, which came in at 74 cents per share, indicated a profound turnaround from Q1, more than tripling sequentially. The EPS was also up 5% year-over-year. At the top line, quarterly revenues reached $136.8 million, beating the forecast by 39% and growing a stunning 52% from the year-ago quarter.On the insider front, Executive Chairman James Ayers bought more than 15,000 shares, paying over $383,000 for the block. His move is the first insider trade here in three months, and swung the sentiment needle strongly positive.SunTrust Robinson analyst Jennifer Demba sees reason for optimism in FBK’s near-term future. She writes, “Mortgage banking momentum should continue in 3Q20 and help offset the likely additional credit mark needed for the FSB acquisition scheduled to close in August. The LLR of 2.51% of total loans, ex PPP seems adequate, in our view, relative to peers given FBK's loan exposures. At 10.3x 2021E EPS/1.34x TBV versus the peer median of 15.0x/1.13x, the shares remain attractive, in our view."Demba gives the stock a price target of $30, suggesting a one-year upside of 19% and fully supporting her Buy rating. (To watch Demba’s track record, click here)Not all analysts on the Street voice Demba's bullish forecast. 2 other analysts rate FBK a Hold, and the 12-month average price target implies a modest upside of nearly 8%.

Notable Insider Buys: AT&T, Kinder Morgan And More
* Insider buying can be an encouraging signal for potential investors during periods of uncertainty. * The executive chair of an energy infrastructure firm has returned to the buy window. * None of the featured stocks saw a gain in the past week.Conventional wisdom says that insiders and 10% owners buy shares of a company for one reason -- they believe the stock price will rise and they want to profit from it. So insider buying can be an encouraging signal for potential investors, particularly during periods of uncertainty.Insiders continued to add shares despite overall market volatility and economic uncertainty. Here are some of the most noteworthy insider purchases reported in the past week.Kinder Morgan The Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE: KMI) executive chair of the board, Richard Kinder, has resumed his buying. He picked up 300,000 more shares of this Houston-based energy infrastructure giant early last week at $14.10 to $14.15 each. That totaled more than $4.24 million. Kinder was a frequent buyer of shares last year.CNBC's Jim Cramer was negative on Kinder Morgan recently. The stock retreated about 1% last week and was last seen at $14.10 a share. That is within Kinder's latest purchase price range. The share price is up less than 12% since the year-to-date low during the pandemic panic-selling back in March, which is about the time of his last listed share purchase.BlackstoneA 10% owner of Blackstone Group Inc (NYSE: BX) has indirectly acquired 200,000 shares of this asset management firm for $17.00 apiece. That totaled $3.40 million and came in the wake of an in-line earnings report that prompted target price hikes at some analysts.There was also bullish options activity on Blackstone recently. The shares closed down more than 4% for the week to $53.28 a share. The share price is almost 5% lower since the beginning of the year but up more than 44% since the year to date low in March. The stock has a consensus target price of $61.29.AT&TA director purchased 100,000 AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) shares via trust recently. Prices ranged from $29.615 to $29.83 a share, and the total for the transaction came to almost $2.97 million. That director, who is board chair at Seagate Technologies, now has an AT&T stake of 300,000 shares.Jim Cramer also commented on this telecom's cash flow and dividend recently. Its shares ended last week essentially flat at $29.58, which is just below the above purchase price range. The stock is about 4% higher since its year-to-date low in March, and it has a $32.50 consensus price target.See also: Insider Buys And Sells: What To Know And How To Leverage Using Benzinga ProNote that there was some amount of insider buying at eHealth, Inc.

Warren Buffett's recent purchase of Dominion Energy's (NYSE: D) natural gas assets surely managed to stir up some investor interest in the lackluster energy stocks. As always, the legendary investor managed to acquire Dominion assets at an attractive price, thanks to the challenging energy market conditions. Are energy stocks trading at attractive valuations?

Socially Conscious Investing Thrives Amid Pandemic
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- At the moment when so many industries are staggered by the coronavirus pandemic, investors are beating the market by putting their money in companies committed to environmental, social and governance priorities favoring transparency, diversity and sustainability.ESG is where profits are, signaling that doing the right thing increasingly is the smartest bet. The iShares exchange-traded fund investing in companies it thinks have “positive environmental, social and governance characteristics,” one of the largest of the type, produced a total return this year that is more than three times the performance of S&P 500 index.The convergence of high-mindedness and profit was noted this month by Al Gore, the former vice president, 2000 Democratic presidential candidate and Oscar-winning environmental documentarian. He told a Bloomberg conference, “It is ever clearer that sustainable technologies are cheaper and better.”For more and more companies, doing the right thing is becoming as much a business imperative as a social responsibility, especially in the market for renewable energy. Apple Inc., the Cupertino, California maker of personal computing and mobile communication devices that has appreciated 30% this year, recently unveiled its plan to become carbon neutral across its entire manufacturing supply chain and product life cycle by 2030. Nike Inc., the Beaverton, Oregon designer and manufacturer of athletic shoes and apparel, is part of the RE100 coalition of companies planning to supply all energy needs from renewable sources by 2025.“Long term, renewables could emerge stronger than ever, especially if governments integrate support for clean energy into Covid-19 economic-recovery programs,” said a report in May by the Yale School of Environment.That’s already reflected in the anticipated performance of 38 U.S.-based companies generating at least 50% of their revenue from clean-energy products or clean technology. As a group, their sales are expected to rise 9% this year, 30% in 2021 and 23% in 2022, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.By contrast, the 26 corporations in the S&P 500 Energy Index, a benchmark for fossil fuel, will suffer revenue declines of 29% in 2020, followed by growth of 11% in 2021 and 13% in 2022, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.The phenomenon of ESG stocks outperforming the market is a long-term trend accentuated by the coronavirus. The 38 clean companies produced a 254% total return (income plus appreciation) in the past 12 months, 250% during the past 2 years and 330% since 2015. Among them, Palo-Alto-based Tesla Inc.’s 1-year return is 575%, including 130% since March when the coronavirus prompted much of the U.S. economy to shut down.Enphase Energy Inc., the renewable-energy equipment maker based in Petaluma, California, gained 199% the past year, including 27% since March. Lehi, Utah-based Vivint Solar Inc. is up 192% over the past 12 months and 107% since March, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.Traditional energy companies in the S&P 500 Energy Index lost 35%, 46% and 33%, respectively, for the 1, 2, and 5-year periods. Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil declined 38% during the past year, including 13% since March. Houston-based Conoco Phillips is down 30% over 12 months, including 16% since March. Kinder Morgan Inc., the Houston pipeline transportation and energy storage provider, tumbled 28% during the past year, including 25% since March, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.Since March, when the pandemic proved its virulence, ESG’s advantage over the market doubled. That’s reflected in the distance between the performance of BlackRock’s iShares Global Clean Energy ETF, one of the largest exchange-traded funds investing in renewable energy and clean technology, and State Street’s Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund, one of the largest ETFs investing in traditional energy companies. The fossil fuel crowd is getting crushed, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.Anyone who thinks that ESG investors are more lucky than smart, or a trendy cohort of woke millennials, should consider the divergence between Aramco and Tesla. Aramco, the Saudi oil giant that remains for now the world’s largest company, was valued at more than $2 trillion after its initial public offering in December. Since then, Tesla’s market capitalization quadrupled to $286 billion passing Toyota Motor Corp. to become the world’s biggest automaker. During the same period, Aramco declined 15% to $1.7 trillion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.The gap between Aramco and Tesla narrowed $500 billion, a little more than the $467 billion value of the world’s 9th-largest company. That would be Berkshire Hathaway, created by Warren Buffett, once the world’s richest man and the avatar of value investing. He’s shown no inclination to move toward ESG.
