UBS Raises Target on ETP

RONALD BARONE, UBS (08/09/2010)
"After excluding non-cash items, ETP achieved adjusted Q2 EBITDA of $336MM vs. the UBS estimate of $366MM. Other than the Intrastate T&S results, segment EBITDA was largely in line with our expectations.

Basis differentials point to stronger H210
. . .We believe the current basis spread environment is a material improvement as compared to earlier in the year (current Katy to Waha spread of ~$0.20/mmbtu vs. $0.10/mmbtu or less for the first five months of the year). We believe this favorable spread will drive stronger volumes and improved H210 results.

Valuation: Raising Price Targets, Reiterate Ratings
Rolling our DDM calculation forward moves our PT to $50.50 (from $48) for ETP and $34.50 (from $32.50) for ETE. We rate ETP Buy and ETE Neutral. We believe investors overreacted to results (ETP down ~5%) presenting an good buying opportunity."
