Diamond Hill Capital made the following comment about UGI Corporation (NYSE:UGI) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
"UGI Corporation (NYSE:UGI), a natural gas and electric power utility, generates approximately one-third of its revenue through its European propane distribution business. The European energy market dislocation and subsequent inflation have raised fears of significant volume and price contraction, pressuring UGI’s share price. Longer term, we believe UGI’s investments into renewable/alternative energy sources position it well. In the nearer term, it should continue to have an advantage delivering fuel to rural locations that are not easily served by gas pipelines — whether that fuel is propane, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), renewable natural gas (RNG) or other alternative fuels."
