Midstream Stocks Climb on Permian Strength, Export Demand Outlook, RBC Says

作者

-- Midstream energy firms are set for a busy earnings week after a strong run in the sector, with rising oil prices and robust volumes underpinning investor optimism, RBC Capital Markets strategists said in a note on Friday.

RBC said the Alerian Midstream Index climbed 4.3% in the week ended Apr. 30, outperforming the broader S&P 500, which rose 1.4%. Year-to-date, the AMZ is up 19.5%, significantly ahead of the S&P 500's 5.3% gain.

Though the sector has also outpaced defensive segments such as utilities, RBC said it continues to lag upstream oilfield services and exploration and production companies.

Crude prices provided a tailwind, with front-month West Texas Intermediate futures rising about 10% during the week to around $105 per barrel, while US natural gas benchmark Henry Hub gained about 6% to $2.77 per MMBtu.

Targa Resources led weekly gains, climbing 8.4% as investors responded to higher crude prices and improving dynamics in the Permian Basin.

Rising gas-oil ratios in the region, highlighted in Enterprise Products Partners LP's earnings, are boosting demand for processing and takeaway capacity, RBC said.

The bank said additional capital spending by ConocoPhillips (COP) in the Delaware Basin has also reinforced expectations for incremental activity, supporting Targa's growth outlook.

Valuations remain elevated but supported by earnings visibility. RBC estimates the midstream universe is trading at about 10.2 times enterprise value to 2027 EBITDA, suggesting investors are willing to pay a premium for stable cash flows and exposure to rising US hydrocarbon exports.

Meanwhile, RBC said recent earnings have reinforced that narrative. Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) beat expectations on stronger volumes and gains in natural gas marketing, while Oneok (OKE) raised its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance following a Q1 beat and a more constructive outlook for volumes.

RBC analysts say export demand, partly driven by disruptions in the Middle East, could provide an additional tailwind for companies with Gulf Coast exposure, including Targa and Energy Transfer.

研究快訊:CFRA維持對淡水河谷公司(Vale S.A.)的持有建議。

獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點摘要如下:我們維持12個月目標價18美元不變,主要依據是2027年EBITDA預期值對應的企業價值/息稅折舊攤銷前利潤(EV/EBITDA)為5.0倍,高於淡水河谷過去三年平均預期EV/EBITDA 3.9倍,但同業低於平均水平6.5倍。我們將2026年每股美國存託憑證(ADS)收益預期下調0.49巴西雷亞爾至10.28巴西雷亞爾,並將2027年預期下調0.45巴西雷亞爾至10.52巴西雷亞爾。淡水河谷在2026年第一季展現了強勁的營運業績,多個資產的產量均創歷史新高,推動鐵礦石產量成長3%,銅和鎳產量實現兩位數成長。然而,巴西雷亞爾升值和油價上漲帶來的成本壓力將C1成本推高至每噸23.6美元(年增12%),促使管理階層將2026年成本預期調整至預期上限。淡水河谷基本金屬業務創造了顯著價值,其EBITDA較去年同期成長超過一倍。淨債務擴大至178億美元,並正朝著100億至200億美元目標區間的中點邁進,管理層表示有信心在當前大宗商品價格水平下,派發可觀股息並持續回購股票至2026年。

研究警告:CFRA維持對泰瑞達公司股票的賣出評等。

獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師總結如下:我們將目標股價上調15美元至252美元,本益比為29倍(基於我們2027年的每股盈餘預期),高於三年平均(約25倍),因為人工智慧的廣泛應用抵消了客戶集中度風險。我們將2026年每股盈餘預期調高1.08美元至6.98美元,2027年每股盈餘預期調高1.30美元至8.70美元。 2026年第一季業績表現依然強勁,但第二季業績指引(銷售額年增87%)僅接近預期,未能顯著超出預期,令市場看漲者感到擔憂。我們一直警告稱,鑑於主要客戶的訂單波動較大,近期的強勢可能會逆轉。隨著今天的拋售,我們認為估值開始回歸理性,因為投資者預計2026年下半年將比跌幅更明顯。 TER也正式贏得了一些商用GPU業務,但其早期業績(預計2026年營收為5000萬美元)略顯遜色,且市場份額的進一步增長也無法保證,這在一定程度上抑制了TER的短期上漲空間。同時,我們仍然認為,內存短缺為2026年下半年和2027年的行業活動帶來了風險,而這些風險尚未被充分反映在股價中。
