Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Pembina Pipeline Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target price of CAD72 (raised by CAD8) reflects a combination of our relative valuation and DCF model analyses. On a relative basis, we apply an 11.5x multiple of enterprise value to projected 2027 EBITDA, in line with peers, which yields a value of CAD65 per share. Our DCF model, which presumes medium-term free cash flow growth of 4% per year, a 2.0% terminal value, and is discounted at a WACC of 6.2%, yields a value of CAD79 per share. We lift our 2026 EPS estimate by CAD0.42 to CAD3.09, and similarly 2027's by CAD0.10 to CAD3.15. We see PPL has exposure to both LNG Canada and Cedar LNG, and if the recent war in the Middle East throws a wrench into the long-term reliability of Persian Gulf-sourced LNG, we think it could work to the advantage of Canadian LNG players. Shares yield 4.4%, after the company boosted its quarterly dividend by 3.5% to CAD0.735 per share. This is about in line with Canadian midstream peers.

Research Alert: CFRA Raises Opinion On Shares Of Ppl Corporation From Hold To Buy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target by $1 to $42, 21.0x our next-12-month EPS estimate of $1.99, near peers based on PPL's strong EPS and dividend growth potential. Our 2026 EPS view is kept at $1.95, and we initiate 2027 EPS at $2.12. Recent rate case outcomes have been largely constructive, which we think reduces execution risk and supports our confidence in timely cost recovery for the aggressive capital program. PPL guides for $23 billion in capital investments from 2026 to 2029, which it expects to translate into a 10.3% rate base CAGR, above peer growth rates, in our view. The Blackstone Infrastructure joint venture (51% PPL, 49% Blackstone) is gaining significant momentum, with gas turbine reservation agreements executed and multiple generation projects submitted into PJM's interconnection queue. This JV structure is particularly compelling because it provides exposure to merchant-like returns on generation assets serving captive data center loads under long-term contracts with "regulated-like" risk profiles.

Research Alert: Ppl Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates; Data Center Pipeline Expands

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:PPL Corp reported Q1 ongoing EPS of $0.63, up 5% and beating consensus by $0.01, while revenue increased 10.8% to $2.8B. Kentucky operations led performance with $0.03 EPS growth driven by higher retail rates, though Pennsylvania remained flat despite transmission revenue gains. The company benefits from an expanding data center pipeline totaling 41.2 GW across Kentucky (12.9 GW) and Pennsylvania (28.3 GW), with 10 GW now under Electric Service Agreements in Pennsylvania and a constructive rate case settlement expected to take effect July 1, 2026. Management reaffirmed 2026 ongoing EPS guidance of $1.90-$1.98 per share and maintained long-term growth targets. The successful $1.15B equity units offering in February de-risks approximately two-thirds of PPL's estimated $3B equity need through 2029. The company remains on track for $5.1B in infrastructure investments during 2026 as part of its broader $23B capital plan through 2029, supporting projected annual rate base growth of 10.3%.

Research Alert: Pembina: A Modest Q1 Beat And Progress On Cedar Lng

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:PPL posted Q1 EPS of CAD0.81 vs CAD0.79, beating consensus by CAD0.02, though adjusted EBITDA declined 3.1% to CAD1.13B and net revenues fell 3.9% to CAD1.29B reflecting a challenging pricing environment. Volume performance was mixed, with Pipeline volumes up 0.9% to 2.83 mmboe/d, Facilities flat at 899,000 boe/d, and Marketing down 4.9% to 369,000 boe/d. Pipeline earnings dropped CAD29M primarily due to Alliance Pipeline's new toll structure, while Facilities and Marketing segments improved by CAD14M and CAD15M respectively, driven by stronger PGI asset performance and lower Cedar LNG losses. Major growth projects remain on track, with Cedar LNG's floating vessel construction over 50% complete for late 2028 commercial service and RFS IV Fractionator's rail facility entering service in February 2026. Multiple pipeline expansion projects including Fox Creek-to-Namao, Birch-to-Taylor, and Taylor-to-Gordondale have been sanctioned with construction activities commencing during the quarter.
