UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company (NYSE: KED) price target of $21.00 from $19.
UBS analyst says, "F2Q11 results from operations drove a $0.97/share increase in NAV (to $22.85 from $21.88); KED achieved a total return of 5% (as measured by the change in adjusted NAV) versus -3% for the AMZX and 1% for the S&P 500. Paying down debt allowed Direct Fuels to resume cash distributions and contributed to a 30% valuation increase to $13/unit from $10/unit. Now expecting a full recovery on the first lien debt, mgmt increased ProPetro’s valuation by $10mm...Factoring in final adjustments for the IRP sale and stronger than expected guidance, we are raising our 2011/12 EPS estimates to $1.60/$1.32 from $0.80/$0.97 and our 12-month price target, which is based on a forward ~0.9x book multiple (inline with KED’s historical average)."
