MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Pembina Pipeline
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Pembina Pipeline Co.:

  • Pembina Pipeline Co. offers a compelling income opportunity with a dividend yield of 4.40%, which is attractive for income-focused investors. The company recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.735 per share, payable on September 29, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 15, 2026. This consistent payout provides a steady cash flow stream, although investors should note that the payout ratio is currently high at 104.41%, meaning the company is paying out more in dividends than it earns in net income, which may rely on cash flow from operations rather than pure earnings.
  • The stock is currently trading at $48.42, which is significantly below the consensus price target of $64.00 set by analysts. This suggests a potential upside of approximately 32% if the stock reaches the target price. The current price is also well above the 52-week low of $36.20, indicating that the stock has recovered from its lows and is trading in the upper half of its annual range, with a 52-week high of $51.58.
  • Pembina Pipeline Co. has demonstrated strong revenue growth, with quarterly revenue up 20.1% year-over-year to $1.07 billion in the most recent quarter. This growth is driven by the company's core business of transporting crude oil, natural gas liquids, and condensate, as well as its gas processing and storage facilities. The company's asset base is concentrated in Western Canada, with operations extending into the United States, providing a diversified revenue stream.
  • Institutional investors have been increasing their holdings in Pembina Pipeline Co., with several large funds adding to their positions in the second quarter of 2026. For example, NEOS Investment Management LLC increased its holdings by 7.4%, while Nykredit A S purchased a new position of 296,833 shares. This institutional interest suggests confidence in the company's long-term prospects and may provide support for the stock price.
  • Pembina Pipeline Co. has a low beta of 0.58, indicating that the stock is less volatile than the overall market. This makes it a potentially attractive option for investors seeking to reduce portfolio risk. The company's stable cash flows from its midstream assets, which include pipelines, storage facilities, and marketing services, provide a defensive characteristic that can help cushion against market downturns.

Pembina Pipeline
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Pembina Pipeline Co. for these reasons:

  • Pembina Pipeline Co. missed analysts' earnings expectations in the most recent quarter, reporting $0.48 in earnings per share (EPS) compared to the consensus estimate of $0.49. Additionally, the company's revenue of $1.07 billion fell short of the consensus estimate of $1.46 billion. This underperformance may indicate challenges in meeting market expectations and could lead to a downgrade in analyst ratings or a reduction in the price target.
  • The company's payout ratio is currently 104.41%, which means it is paying out more in dividends than it earns in net income. This could be a concern for investors who are worried about the sustainability of the dividend, especially if the company's earnings do not improve. A high payout ratio can also limit the company's ability to invest in growth opportunities or reduce debt.
  • Pembina Pipeline Co. has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.78, which is relatively high for a company in the energy sector. This indicates that the company is using a significant amount of debt to finance its operations, which could increase its financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or if the company's cash flows decline. A high debt load can also limit the company's flexibility to respond to market changes or invest in new projects.
  • The company's quick ratio is 0.50 and its current ratio is 0.62, both of which are below 1.0. This suggests that Pembina Pipeline Co. may have difficulty meeting its short-term obligations with its current assets. A low quick ratio and current ratio can be a sign of financial distress and may indicate that the company is relying on external financing to meet its short-term needs.
  • Pembina Pipeline Co. has a high short interest, with 13,483,470 shares shorted as of the most recent record date. This represents 2.32% of the float, which is relatively high and could indicate that a significant number of investors are betting against the stock. A high short interest can also lead to increased volatility in the stock price, especially if there is a short squeeze, which could cause the stock price to spike or drop sharply.
