Wells Fargo downgrades EV Energy Partners (Nasdaq: EVEP) to Market Perform from Outperform.

Wells analyst says, "We are increasing valuation ranges across our MLP coverage universe by 12% (median). Our revised valuation ranges suggest MLPs still have moderate upside potential with an estimated median total return of 13% (target yield of 8.0% and 2010E distribution growth of 2.8%). Specifically, we are lowering the required rate of return (ROR) in our distribution discount models (DDM) by 100-200 bps in recognition of investors’ increased risk appetite...As a result of our valuation adjustments, we are downgrading EV Energy Partners to Market Perform."
