Wells Fargo upgraded Penn Virginia Resource Partners (NYSE: PVR) from Market Perform to Outperform, price target range raised to $29-32 from $26-28.
Analyst, Ronald Londe, said, "PVR announced an agreement to acquire natural gas gathering systems in the Marcellus shale from Chief Gathering LLC (Chief) for $1 billion. We view this transaction as a positive event for PVR unitholders because it transforms the partnership from roughly 60% of PVR’s EBITDA coming from coal operations to midstream operations accounting for 75% of its total EBITDA by the end of 2013. Further, it adds to the visibility of distribution growth...We are increasing our 2012 and 2013 DCF per unit estimates to $2.23 and $3.54 from $2.20 and $2.36, respectively."
