Global Hunter Securities upgraded EV Energy Partners (NASDAQ: EVEP) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $42.00 (from $43). Analyst Bernard Colson thinks units are meaningfully undervalued

"Our $42 price target is composed of $24 for the base business, $12 for the Utica acreage and $6 for the MLP's Utica midstream investments. In addition, despite the 0.65x distribution coverage reported in Q1, we believe the distribution is sustainable at the current level, meaning EVEP's current 8.8% yield should serve as a solid valuation foundation as the company works through the process of selling the Utica acreage, redeploying the proceeds and investing in and monetizing midstream," said Colson.
