UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on DCP Midstream Partners (NYSE: DPM) price target raised from $40 to $45.

UBS analyst says, "We view DCP Midstream as a play on some of the strongest elements of the nat gas space today—nat gas gathering and processing in strong growth areas (Eagle Ford, Permian Basin, DJ Basin); a mostly fee-based NGL business that is rather protected from any downward turn in NGL prices but that is nonetheless growing nicely due to acquisitions and improved throughput on solid demand; and a wholesale propane operation less exposed to volatility than retail-oriented peers."

UBS raises FY11 EPS estimate from $1.25 to $1.34 and FY12 from $1.28 to $1.50.
