Targa Resources May Still Interest Growth Investors
Summary Targa Resources Corporation, a $43.5 billion market cap gas midstream company focused on NGLs, offers a dividend yield of $3.00/share (1.5%) with an expected increase to $2.00/share (2.0%). The company dominates a much needed natural gas processing capacity niche in the Permian Basin. Waha prices remain pressured, which benefits Targa.

Targa Resources: From Commodity Exposure To Fee-Based Stability
Summary Over the past decade, Targa has transformed into a fee-based midstream operator. The company’s growth is driven by expanding assets in the Permian Basin, increasing processing capacity, and enhancing infrastructure. Despite its focus on fee-based revenue, strong cash flow, and capital allocation, I have some concerns about its high reinvestment rate, high debt-capital ratio, and low cash position. TRGP is well-positioned for long-term stability and growth. However, my valuation showed that there is no margin of safety at the current market price.

Targa Resources: Assuming The Past Never Happens Again
Summary Target Resources cut its dividend in 2020 to repay debt faster, reflecting its aggressive growth strategy. Midstream earnings are protected by "take-or-pay" contracts, but growth often slows during cyclical downturns (of customer upstream companies). The cyclical nature of the upstream business means growth will eventually slow, affecting stock performance. TRGP's rapid dividend growth, recently increased to $4 from $3, highlights its aggressive strategy, making it atypical for midstream investments. The time to invest in a company like this is when it is out of favor. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Aug 06
Targa Resources: Large Growth Potential With High Capex Spending
Summary Targa Resources is a high-growth midstream play whose assets provide an integrated system to deliver NGLs from the wellhead to export terminals. The company is very comparable to Enterprise Products in many ways. However, due to its smaller size, TRGP will realize a larger growth rate. With an estimated 13% CAGR, I rate TRGP as a buy with an initial price target of $180/share. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaRevenue & Expenses Breakdown
