UBS downgraded Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. (NYSE: PSE) from Neutral to Sell. PT unchanged at $24.

Analyst, Christopher P. Sighinolfi, said, "PSE enjoys a portfolio of long-lived, slow decline assets, an oil-directed drilling program, balanced commodity exposure, and a close affiliation with Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE: PXD). Its steady performance through varied market conditions underscores the benefits of its asset profile. However, PSE’s relatively weak hedge profile, tight coverage ratio, limited distribution growth history, and sub-8% yield leave us cautious at current levels; hence, we are downgrading to Sell on valuation."

"In the E&P MLP space, we continue to favor Linn Energy (Nasdaq: LINE) & Legacy Reserves (Nasdaq: LGCY) given stronger hedge profiles, higher coverage ratios, and mgmts’ commitment to distribution growth."
