Wells Fargo downgraded Buckeye (NYSE: BPL) from Outperform to Market Perform with a price target range of $52-$57 (from $62-$66).
Analyst, Michael Blum, said, "Risk/reward appears balanced at the current valuation. We see several potential positive and negative catalysts which could determine the trajectory of unit price performance. We are lowering our valuation range to reflect Buckeye’s higher risk profile (higher leverage and lower distribution coverage). BPL currently yields 7.8% and trades at a 2013E EV/EBITDA multiple of 12.8x. This compares to a median yield of 7.6% and 2013E EV/EBITDA multiple of 13.6x for a "low growth" MLP subgroup (e.g. Boardwalk Pipeline Partners (NYSE: BWP), Enbridge Energy (NYSE: EEP), and NuStar Energy (NYSE: NS))."
