Citi Maintains 'Hold' on DCP Midstream Partners LP (DPM), Drops Price Target to $27

August 19, 2008 8:02 AM EDT

Citi maintains 'Hold' rating on DCP Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: DPM), but lowers price target from $38.50 to $27.

Citi analyst says, "Despite very strong natural gas gathering and processing fundamentals, DPM reported lower than expected results for the quarter as hedging losses offset fundamentals. DPM reported adjusted EBITDA of $28.8 million or ~11% below our expectations as hedging losses showed another sequential increase to $16.3 million...In the near term we believe valuations for MLPs will reflect a changing broader yield environment. However, we expect midstream MLPs to outperform alternative yielding asset classes in the long term due to strong fundamentals and growing distribution to unit holders."

DCP Midstream Partners, LP, along with its consolidated subsidiaries, was formed by DCP Midstream, LLC to own, operate, acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of midstream energy assets.
