Stifel analyst Selman Akyol upgraded Plains All American to Buy from Hold and raised his price target on the stock to $28 from $26. The analyst notes that since downgrading the shares in early May, Plains beat his Q2 estimates, continued to guide to 14%-15% fee-based growth in 2019, sold 30% of BridgeTex to help fund an incremental $500M of spending and feedback from his Permian event was largely positive where the majority of Plains cash flows are generated. When coupling with this was largely unchanged unit price and better visibility into the company's improved financial positioning into 2019, Akyol believes incremental capital allocation is warranted.
