-- BMO Capital Markets on Wednesday lowered its rating on the units of Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund (CHE-UN.TO) to market perform, while maintaining its C$18.50 price target.
BMO said the downgrade reflects the rejection of Chemtrade's planned rezoning for its North Vancouver chlor-alkali plant.
According to BMO, more predictable earnings, index inclusion, rezoning approval, and valuation catch-up to U.S. commodity-chemical peers were key catalysts for continued outperformance by Chemtrade.
But with uncertainty linked to the North Vancouver facility beyond 2030, BMO said it now awaits more clarity.
