Plains All American Pipeline LP (PAA)
Moving down the list, our next company is in the oil and gas midstream channel in Plains All American Pipeline LP. Our AI systems have assigned factor scores of C in Technical, D in Growth, F in Momentum Volatility, and D in Quality Value, even after the stock has lost 60.39% for the year. Our deep learning algorithms think the momentum will continue to the downside over the next few quarters. The company provides transportation, storage, processing, fractionation, and marketing services for crude oil, refined products, natural gas liquids, liquefied petroleum gas, and related products. Assets are geographically diverse, spanning the United States and Alberta, Canada, but heavily concentrated in major U.S. shale basins like the Permian, Stack, and Bakken.
