Scotiabank Raises EPD Price Target Amid Surpassing Earnings Expectations
Scotiabank has increased its price target for Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD), citing the energy infrastructure company’s better-than-expected earnings and positive outlook. In a research note, the bank reiterated its “buy” rating on EPD, citing strong demand for midstream services in North America and growing interest in renewable natural gas. Scotiabank also pointed to improving EBITDA margins at EPD, driven by increased processing volumes and improved yield from existing assets. The analyst forecast a stronger-than-expected earnings per share (EPS) of $1.38, exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.29, according to StreetAccount. The company’s quarterly production guidance also met expectations, with management confirming that it would continue to expand its midstream capacity in key markets such as the Permian Basin. The revised price target represents a 10% increase from Scotiabank’s previous estimate and reflects growing confidence in EPD’s ability to deliver strong earnings growth in the coming quarters.
