ETP: Value Exists

JEREMY TONET, UBS Securities (05/31/2010)
"For ETP, we view the transaction as roughly cash-flow neutral, as the transaction will reduce ETP's GP & LP payments to ETE by ~$70MM. This reduction is approximately equal to the 2011E DCF contribution from MEP, after incorporating the forgone $86mm MEP payment that RGNC will make to complete MEP. While increased growth expectations at RGNC will partially come at ETP's expense, we still see value in ETP at current levels; ETP possesses the highest yield among peers and has underperformed the AMZI by 5% since the deal was announced. Nevertheless, our belief that ETE will be less focused on ETP distribution growth (since it is more difficult to accomplish with ETP's higher cost of equity) is decreasing our DDM-derived price target to $48 from $51."
