UPDATE: Wunderlich Securities Initiates Coverage on Emerge Energy Services LP with Buy Rating, $120 PT on Positive Forecast

In a report published Tuesday, Wunderlich Securities analyst Abhishek Sinha initiated coverage on

with a Buy rating and $120.00 price target. In the report, Wunderlich Securities noted, “We are initiating coverage of Emerge Energy Services LP (EMES) with a Buy rating and $120 price target. Emerge is primarily engaged in the business of mining, processing, and distributing silica sand required for the hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells. The company also has a fuel segment that processes transmix and distributes refined motor fuels. In our view, EMES, with its high quality asset base and unparalleled logistics outreach, has a unique mix of strengths. The company is favorably placed to gain market share at the expense of marginal competitors as supply continues to be restricted to limited geographic locations with high barriers to entry. We think our $120 price target is supported by our forecast of an industry leading 32% 3-year CAGR in distributions.” Emerge Energy Services LP closed on Monday at $99.08.
