RE:RBC CommentsNot sure why PPL is struggling to get hit $50 again after what I thought was a pretty good earnings report! Both RBC and BMO have target prices well above $50 so I'm not sure why it's lagging.
When someone downgrades a stock. In blink of an eye it tanks with no problem. Sure doesn't shred up when it's upgraded! Stock manipulation in full gear is how I see it!

10:19 AM EDT, 08/08/2022 (MT Newswires) -- RBC Capital Markets said over the weekend Pembina Pipeline Corp. (PPL.TO) is uniquely positioned to offer investors upside to growing WCSB gas and NGL volumes through its unutilized capacity and potential for growth projects, high commodity prices and wide commodity spreads.
RBC also flagged Pembina's attractive capital allocation strategy, which features true free cash flow generation that provides the company the ability to repurchase shares and reduce leverage.
Pembina upgraded its 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $3.575 billion to $3.675 billion from the previous range of $3.45 billion to $3.6 billion.
This reflects stronger results from the marketing segment, higher contributions from the Alliance and Cochin pipelines as well as certain gas services assets, and the anticipated closing of the joint venture with KKR later this month.
RBC noted that strong commodity prices are helping Pembina generate additional cash flow that will likely be used to reduce leverage, at least in the near term until it becomes clearer what growth projects could materialize.
RBC gave Pembina an outperform rating with a $58.00 price target.
