  • Several firms, including Barclays, Stifel, JPMorgan and Scotiabank, have lifted price targets into the high US$30s to low US$40s, reflecting updated models after Q4 results and revisions across U.S. midstream peers.

  • Barclays keeps an Overweight rating with its move to US$39, and Stifel backs a Buy rating with a target of US$41. Both firms highlight confidence in Enterprise Products Partners’ execution and earnings profile within the midstream group.

  • JPMorgan and Scotiabank both reset targets to US$39 while maintaining Neutral and Sector Perform views. These moves suggest the units are seen as reasonably aligned with refreshed earnings assumptions.

  • Jefferies, RBC Capital, Citi, TD Cowen and Mizuho have also raised targets in recent months. This points to broad Street engagement around updated valuation work rather than isolated optimism.

  • Wolfe Research cut the units to Underperform and flagged a more cautious stance even as many peers raised targets. This may be important to consider if you are sensitive to downside scenarios.

  • Jefferies initiated with a Hold rating and US$33 target in January, citing a strong operator but questioning how much room there is for unit outperformance without a more meaningful unit repurchase shift.
