UGI (UGI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
UGI Corp's positive outlook is supported by expected year-over-year growth in its Energy Services and Utilities segments, bolstered by new rate implementations in West Virginia and the benefits of Minimum Volume Commitments (MVC) protections. The company's long-term projections highlight a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6.5% for earnings per share (EPS) at UGI Utilities, backed by strong regulatory frameworks and a solid capital backlog. Furthermore, anticipated improvements in cash flow from its AmeriGas Propane segment and growth in the Midstream business with renewable natural gas projects are contributing factors to UGI's overall financial strength.
Bears say
UGI Corp is expected to lower its long-term earnings per share (EPS) growth targets from the previous range of 6-10% to mid-single digits, specifically around 4-6%, reflecting a more cautious outlook. The company's adjusted EPS estimates for FY1Q24 have been reduced to $1.01 per share, which signals a decline from the prior year and also falls below analyst consensus estimates. Additionally, the strategic shift to divert capital from LPG businesses to natural gas, along with lower capital expenditure projections and reduced growth expectations for the UGI International segment, underscores a constrained free cash flow situation that may hinder future investment opportunities.
