B.Riley FBR analyst Robert Balsamo reiterated a Hold rating on Nustar Energy LP (NYSE: NS) today and set a price target of $26. The company’s shares opened today at $23.99, close to its 52-week low of $19.22.
Balsamo noted:
“NuStar Energy LP (NS) continues its 2018 transition as its simplification with NuStar GP Holdings ( NSH) remains on track, post Hurricane Harvey repairs and integration of acquisitions continue, and organic opportunities are pursued. During 1Q, NS realized strong operational performance from its Permian Crude system as well as increased storage rates on the partnership international storage facilities. We expect these trends to continue, in particular the Permian, as NS has allocated the majority of its capex budget towards further growth in the region. We are reiterating our Neutral rating and $26 PT for NS and we are reiterating our Neutral rating and $14 PT for NSH. As a reminder, NS is simplifying its structure and acquiring NSH for 0.55 NS units per NSH. Our NSH PT is derived through this conversion ratio.”
