Highlights From Management Meetings; Target to $29 From $27 (Still Top Idea)
Bottom Line:
Virtual investor meetings with ALA's CFO James Harbilas confirmed our positive thesis
on the shares. More specifically, we believe the de-leveraging journey remains on
track and there is a visible (yet underappreciated) path to above-average growth in
regulated utility and now also midstream. We are raising our target price to $29 vs. $27
as we gained increased confidence that growth could exceed expectations and with a
potential total return of ~15% including a 3.8% dividend yield, we are maintaining our
Outperform rating and Top Pick designation.
