Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA) Latest News
22 Sep
Plains All American Pipeline trades at $24.55, down 4.73% in the last week after a 14.35% 90-day gain and a 54.78% one-year return. The stock sits impliedly undervalued relative to a $25.31 fair value estimate, about 3% below parity. A Canadian NGL divestiture will redeploy roughly $3 billion into higher-growth U.S. crude assets, aiming to stabilize throughput and cash flow. Strong Permian positioning and potential stakes in BridgeTex bolster the volume base and long-run revenue trajectory amid North American population and economic growth. Risks include softer crude-focused volumes in key basins and capital expenditure that could squeeze free cash flow. On earnings multiples, PAA trades around 21.1x P/E versus 13.2x industry and a 17.7x fair, leaving limited room for disappointment if growth slows. Redeploying proceeds into higher-growth US assets could lift growth and cash flow, but a rich multiple and volume risks cap upside.
20 Sep
Plains All American Pipeline said its subsidiary will acquire Silver Creek’s Powder River Basin assets for about $585 million in cash, with closing expected in Q4 2026 subject to customary conditions, including antitrust clearance. The assets provide more than 350,000 barrels per day of capacity and about 125,000 barrels per day of throughput. The deal would add roughly 600 miles of gathering and transmission pipelines and 1.2 million barrels of operational storage, expanding access from Guernsey and Fort Laramie toward the Rockies and Cushing. Higher throughput could spread fixed costs across more barrels, supported by 915,000 acres of long-term dedications and minimum volume commitments with average contract terms over eight years. Management targets IRR of 300–500 basis points above cost of capital, though standalone earnings and synergies aren’t disclosed. The transaction includes a 49% non-operated interest in Powder River Gateway; closing remains subject to conditions, including antitrust clearance. Significant capacity expansion, storage, and long-term commitments with IRR targets could meaningfully shift PAA's throughput and returns, though lack of disclosed standalone earnings/ synergies adds uncertainty.
