## Catalyst Analysis: Earnings and Guidance Expansion The pipeline operator posted a notable expansion in profitability, with distributable cash flow advancing 33% to $2.5 billion. Management raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA growth expectation to roughly 24%, underpinned by active capital projects including a $1.6 billion venture where the firm holds a 51% funding stake.
