RBC Capital Markets reiterated its outperform rating on the shares of Pembina Pipeline (PPL.TO, PBA) while raising its price target to C$68.00 from C$64.00 following the company's first-quarter results.
Pembina's strong results and 2026 guidance upgrade were driven by its marketing segment, but the company's commercial and project execution accomplishments should not be overlooked, analyst Maurice Choy said.
"We continue to see Pembina as well-positioned to capitalize on the strong fundamentals that make the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin an attractive global market," Choy said.
"With its leading fully integrated midstream platform in a prolific basin, the company is poised to benefit from growing global energy demand, increasing strategic relevance of Canadian energy, and emerging demand drivers such as LNG, petrochemical, and data center power demand," he added.
