Both G&P and L&T segments delivered strong results, with adjusted operating margins expanding 16% and 18% respectively, reflecting higher throughput volumes and improved optimization opportunities. The robust operational performance underscores TRGP's dominant Permian position and integrated asset base advantages. Management raised 2026 EBITDA guidance to $5.7B-$5.9B, with the $5.8B midpoint implying 17% growth over 2025 levels. TRGP has six new Permian processing plants in development for 2027-28, with 2026 growth capex expected around $4.5B.

Research Alert: Lincoln National Q1 Results Reflect Turnaround Progress

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:LNC posted Q1 operating EPS of $1.66 vs. $1.60, topping the $1.58 consensus but missing our $2.08 estimate. Operating revenues rose 3.4%, due to 9.8% higher investment income, while premium revenues declined fractionally and fee revenues were flat. Life insurance staged a turnaround with $41M operating profit vs. a $16M loss, aided by better investment income, lower costs, and improved mortality trends. Annuity margins contracted despite 4% sales growth, with net outflows widening to $2.2B from $1.7B. Group Protection profits rose 11% on favorable claim experience, while Retirement Plan Services earnings surged 26% with improved net flows. We acknowledge LNC's operational turnaround progress, but the firm remains heavily exposed to equity market fluctuations without appropriate upside growth potential to justify that risk, in our opinion. LNC shares' beta of 1.2 is among the highest in the life insurance peer group.

Research Alert: Lamar Advertising Company: Q1 Beat On Strong National Advertising Demand

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Lamar Advertising Company (LAMR) reported Q1 2026 revenue of $528M (+4.5% Y/Y), beating consensus by $5M, though down 11.4% sequentially as Q1 is typically the weakest quarter for outdoor advertising. Acquisition-adjusted revenue grew 3.9% Y/Y, marking the 20th consecutive quarter of positive Y/Y growth and demonstrating consistent operational momentum across market cycles. We view the sustained revenue growth streak and strong customer demand as supportive of LAMR's market position in the outdoor advertising space. Management highlighted strong demand from both local and national customers, with pacings trending at the top end of previously provided 2026 AFFO per diluted share guidance. Capex increased 10.9% Y/Y to $33M, though digital billboard spending declined 18.3% Y/Y to $13M, suggesting a more measured approach to digital expansion this quarter. We believe the positive pacing trends and robust customer demand position LAMR well for continued growth momentum through 2026.

Research Alert: Pbh Q1: Revenue Up 25% To Cad2.1b On Stampede Deal; Maintains 2026 Guidance

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Q1 revenue from continuing operations rose 24.6% to CAD2.1B, with acquisitions contributing 70% of growth and organic volume adding 23%. Adjusted EPS increased 36.1% to CAD0.83 versus CAD0.70, while adjusted EBITDA grew 26.7% to CAD171.2M with margin expanding 10 basis points to 8.3%. Volume growth continues in the U.S. and EBITDA margins expanded despite highly inflationary conditions, while we believe PBH is beginning a capital recycling period to monetize ~CAD1B in non-core assets. Management maintained full-year guidance of CAD9.25B-CAD9.55B revenue and CAD870M-CAD910M adjusted EBITDA, reaffirming expectations to exceed 2027 targets of CAD10.0B revenue and CAD1.0B EBITDA. The company completed the Shaw Bakers divestiture for CAD160M in net proceeds. Consumer behavior is shifting from higher priced beef products, which remains a focal point worth monitoring. We believe executing the asset monetization strategy in an accretive manner provides meaningful upside potential to profitability.
