UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Inergy (NYSE: NRGY) price target cut from $18 to $14.
UBS analyst said, "In Jan 2012, NRGY announced it would likely reset its distribution lower at its March quarter distribution announcement, stating it would reset to a “level that is supportable by the cash flow expected to be generated by Inergy’s businesses in the near-term.” Although we had previously expected its ann. distribution to be reset to ~$1.80 (from $2.82), we are lowering our forecast to ~$1.40 given recent weather and FGP F2Q12 (Nov-Jan) results that indicate NT conditions worse than previously forecast."
"Lowering Our FY12e EPU from $0.22 to $0.15 (Cons $0.16): Driving our lower FY12e EPU is F2Qe (March-end), which falls to $0.39 (cons $0.57) given a) the early read from FGP’s disappointing Jan quarter; b) weather YTD that we estimate has been 16% warmer than year ago—slightly worse than the 15.5% increase NRGY reported in its F1Q; and c) more difficult 2-year stacked retail propane volume comparisons in F2Q vs. F1Q."
