Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P - Unit

Strong Financial Performance: Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP) reported Funds from Operations (FFO) of $599 million in Q3 2024, marking a 7% year-over-year increase, driven by new investments and tuck-in acquisitions. Utilities segment FFO grew 9% to $188 million, Transport segment surged 50% to $308 million, while the Data segment increased 29% to $85 million. Midstream segment FFO slightly declined from $163 million to $147 million due to higher interest costs.
