Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Enbridge Energy Partners (NYSE: EEP) price target of $33.00.
Analyst, Richard Gross, said, "EEP's preannouncement does provide clarity, but distribution coverage will likely fall below 0.9x in 2012. While we view EEP's $3B portfolio of largely fee-based crude oil and NGL pipeline projects as favorable long term, tempering our near-term view are large financing needs, lag in cash flows from projects, and low coverage in 2012."
Gross cuts FY12 EPS estimate from $1.25 to $1.01 and FY13 from $1.66 to $1.52.
"We are decreasing our 2012 EBITDA estimate from $1.23 to $1.14B and expect the Street to lower estimates with consensus currently at $1.24B...We are modestly decreasing our 2012/13-year distribution CAGR estimates from 2.3%/2.9% to 1.8%/2.7%."
