Most Popular Narrative: 7% Undervalued
Targa Resources is being framed as undervalued, with a widely followed narrative fair value of $325.14 against the recent $302.37 close, which puts the spotlight on how its long life infrastructure projects line up with that gap.
An expanding set of long dated growth projects, including the Speedway NGL system with initial 500,000 barrels per day of capacity, multiple Permian gas plants scheduled through early 2028, a 20 year processing and downstream volume agreement with a large producer and a 230 megawatt behind the meter power deal to support Permian processing, collectively increases Targa’s potential share of basin volumes and can support higher revenue and adjusted EBITDA over time.
