Benjamin Pham has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that, in his view, outweigh the temporary noise in Keyera’s recent results. He acknowledges that Q1/26 was distorted by one-time Plains transaction expenses and the AEF outage, yet emphasizes that the company’s core businesses are operating in line with expectations and that asset utilization remains solid.

Benjamin Pham’s rating is based on the strategic and financial upside he sees from the Plains NGL acquisition, including meaningful synergy potential, enhanced marketing margins, and additional organic growth projects tied to rising WCSB production. He also highlights management’s intention to extend its fee-based EBITDA growth guidance through the end of the decade and notes that the stock’s valuation remains attractive, supporting an Outperform view alongside an upwardly revised price target of $60.

In another report released today, TD Cowen also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a C$61.00 price target.
