Peabody Energy (BTU) Reviewing Met Cost Cut Opportunities vs Curtailment, Still Positive on US Thermal 24 April 2014 ¦ 11 pages ir.citi.com
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP (BWP) Solid 1Q Beat; UPGRADING to OUTPERFORM (from Underperform); Raising TP to $20 (from $15) on Growing Demand for Reversals; Revising EPS estimates 29 April 2014 sendspace.com
Raise to Outperform, Risks to the Upside: The bottom on BWP appears to be in. After a detailed review asset by asset, and after taking into account contract roll-offs, offset by likely contract reversals amid a growing demand for N to S pipeline capacity, we believe that BWP is likely to be capable of raising its distribution back to a normalized pay-out as early as 2017, though we have continued to assume 2018. Consequently, we have raised our estimated pay-out by $0.20/unit/year in 2018, to $1.60/year followed by $0.01/unit/Q increases through 2020, 5% increases thereafter and we have assumed a 1% terminal growth rate.

Distributable cash of $38.9 mil was higher than our forecast of $37.5 mil primarily due to lower than expected maintenance capex.

Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN) Raising Estimates and Price Target 24 April 2014 ¦ 14 pages ir.citi.com
The U.S. land rig market continues to generate strong demand for new AC drive rigs with walking systems for pad-type drilling. PTEN will build and deliver another 17 of these rigs before year-end and all are contracted to customers. The company is seeing demand grow for its legacy SCR rigs and has reactivated a total of 8 rigs in the past six months, with another 12 readily available for reactivation. The challenge for the company is the staff all of the new rigs that are being built or reactivated with skilled workers. We have raised our EPS estimates for 2014-16. Based on PTEN’s improving earnings outlook and the multiple indicators of new pricing power in its two core businesses, we raise our price target from $36 to $38.
