Targa Versus Peers

Heejung Ryoo, the firm's analyst, noted that estimated dividend yield of 7.8 percent for 2017 is 250–550 basis points higher than its c-corp mid-stream peers such as Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE: KMI), Plains GP Holdings LP (NYSE: PAGP) and ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE).

The analyst also noted that Targa has reduced its leverage since early this year. Accordingly, the analyst sees support for the current dividend yield even under a more bearish price scenario due to the healthy balance sheet.
