UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) price target of $57.00.

Analyst, Ronald J. Barone, said, "EPD again handily beat UBSe and consensus estimates in 1Q12. We continue to recommend the name as one of our top picks given strong recent operating performance, continued solid fundamentals, excellent project pipeline, and increasing fee-based margins. Excellent 1Q distribution coverage of 1.4x (ex non-recurring items) also continues a trend and, in conjunction with recent management comments, suggests potential upside to our increased 2013 distribution growth forecast of +5.7%."

"We have increased our 2012/2013 EPU estimates from $2.30/$2.43 to $2.50/$2.60, respectively, given recent strength and projected solid fundamentals.
