In a report published Tuesday, J.P. Morgan analyst Alistair J. Meadows initiated coverage on Legacy Reserves LGCY with a Neutral rating and $28.00 price target.

In the report, J.P. Morgan noted, “We are initiating coverage of LGCY with a Neutral rating and a $28 Dec 2013 price target. Since the partnership's IPO in January 2007, LGCY has driven consistent distribution growth with healthy coverage via intelligent acquisitions. In addition, LGCY's lack of a general partner lowers the partnership's cost of equity capital, making acquisitions further accretive to the LP. Although we favor the partnership's history of distribution growth, lack of a general partner, and historically conservative approach to maintenance capital accounting, we believe the market is already applying a justifiable premium to LGCY and thus initiate at Neutral.”

Legacy Reserves closed on Monday at $25.61.
