Key Takeaways Pembina shares rose 10.4% in six months, outpacing the broader energy sector's 9.7% gain.PBA's 2026 earnings estimate is pegged at $2.23 per share, indicating 17.4% YoY growth.Pembina targets 5%-7% annual fee-based adjusted EBITDA per-share growth through 2030. Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA - Free Report) has posted an impressive performance over the past six months, with its shares rising 10.4%. This gain outperformed the broader energy sector’s growth of 9.7% and the sub-industry’s fall of 1.6% during the same time period. Pembina’s stronger upward momentum reflects greater investor confidence and more consistent resilience.

As one of Canada’s premier energy infrastructure companies, Pembina maintains a vast network of pipelines, gas gathering and processing facilities, liquids infrastructure, storage assets and export terminals. Its integrated business model provides end-to-end services that connect production sites with key markets across North America and beyond. Backed largely by long-term, fee-based agreements, Pembina generates stable and predictable cash flows while maintaining a strong focus on operational safety, reliability and disciplined capital allocation. The company continues to invest in strategic infrastructure projects aimed at supporting resource development, improving market connectivity and reinforcing its competitive position in a changing global energy environment.

For investors, the central question is whether the stock’s recent strong performance justifies maintaining a position for additional upside or warrants a reassessment of valuation levels. Evaluating Pembina’s financial strength, favorable industry dynamics and long-term growth opportunities can provide valuable insight into whether the stock remains an attractive holding.

Key Drivers Behind the Recent Surge of PBA StockA Positive 2026 Earnings Estimate: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PBA’s 2026 earnings is pegged at $2.23 per share, indicating 17.4% year-over-year growth. The positive earnings estimate outlook makes the stock attractive for investors.

PBA’s Earnings Estimate Overview
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Integrated Network Broadens Monetization: Pembina spans gathering, processing, transportation, fractionation, exports and marketing, allowing volumes to generate value across multiple stages of the chain. Management expects Western Canadian growth in oil, gas, condensate, LNG, petrochemicals and data-center demand to create linked opportunities across these assets. This integration supports capital-efficient expansions using existing infrastructure and reinforces Pembina’s ability to capture incremental basin volumes.

Greenlight Adds a Contracted Demand Platform:The 932-megawatt Greenlight Electricity Center extends Pembina into gas-fired power for data centers. The project is underpinned by a 20-year agreement with Meta and is expected to generate about C$310 million of annual adjusted EBITDA net to Pembina after entering service in the second half of 2030. Management is also advancing a potential second phase and additional gas-to-power opportunities.

Visible Fee-Based Growth Pipeline:Pembina has sanctioned the Greenlight Electricity Center and Heartland Extraction Plant while advancing Cedar LNG and other expansions. Management targets 5-7% compound annual fee-based adjusted EBITDA per-share growth through 2030. Its August 2026 plan indicates C$7-C$8 billion of cash flow after dividends through 2030, with sanctioned growth funded within free cash flow and leverage guardrails. Management also estimates growth could create about C$3 billion of incremental debt capacity within its target leverage range.

Risks That May Limit PBA's UpsideLarge Debt Remains a Constraint: Pembina carried C$19.8 billion of long-term debt at June 30, 2026. Management targets proportionately consolidated debt-to-adjusted EBITDA of 3.5x-4.25x and expects growth to remain within those guardrails, but the absolute debt load leaves less flexibility if capital requirements rise or project cash flows are delayed.

Marketing Earnings Remain Commodity-Sensitive: Pembina’s fee-based model limits direct commodity exposure, but Marketing & New Ventures still varies with NGL frac spreads, crude prices and export economics. Second-quarter 2026 benefited from wider NGL frac spreads and higher prices, while management said commodity prices remain a primary factor determining the 2026 guidance range. About 90% of third-quarter frac-spread exposure is hedged versus only 40% in the fourth quarter.

Major Projects Carry Execution Risk: Pembina’s growth plan relies on Cedar LNG, Greenlight, Heartland Extraction Plant and additional pipeline expansions reaching service on schedule and within planned capital. Cedar LNG is targeted for late 2028, Heartland for late 2029 and Greenlight for the second half of 2030. Delays, cost escalation or commercial setbacks could defer expected fee-based cash flows and reduce project returns.

Asset Upkeep Requires Sustained Spending: Pembina expects C$210 million of non-recoverable sustaining capital in its 2026 capital program and plans higher integrity and maintenance spending in the second half of 2026. Management also identifies the third quarter as its highest operating-expense period. These recurring requirements support reliability but can reduce cash available for discretionary uses when growth investment is also elevated.

Pembina: The Final WordPembina appears well-positioned with its integrated midstream network, contracted growth projects and expanding NGL, LNG and gas-to-power platforms supporting a visible path to higher fee-based cash flows. Recent project execution also reinforces management’s ability to add capacity within its financial guardrails and deepen customer relationships.

However, the company still carries a large debt load, retains exposure to commodity-sensitive marketing earnings and faces an uneven near-term earnings cadence. Its longer-term outlook also depends on timely delivery of several capital projects and continued Western Canadian production growth. With durable infrastructure advantages and new demand opportunities offset by financing, execution and market risks, a wait-and-see approach appears prudent for this company, allowing investors to participate in structural upside while waiting for clearer earnings traction.

PBA Pembina Pipeline

Original source text
Key Takeaways Pembina Pipeline missed Q2 EPS estimates, while revenues climbed about 20% year over year.PBA beat volume estimates across Pipelines, Facilities and Marketing & New Ventures segments.Pembina Pipeline reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance and expects Q4 earnings to be stronger. Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of 48 cents, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. However, it increased from the year-ago quarter’s level of 47 cents. This improvement was primarily driven by strong underlying operational performance and volume growth across the Pipelines and Facilities and Marketing & New Ventures divisions.

PBA’s Pipelines, Facilities and Marketing & New Ventures volumes for the period were 2,809 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (mboe/d), 889 mboe/d and 372 mboe/d, respectively, beating the consensus estimates of 2,777 mboe/d, 302 mboe/d and 362mboe/d.

This Calgary-based oil and gas storage and transportation company’s quarterly sales of $1.55 billion increased about 20% year over year, driven by higher revenue performance across all three segments.

The company’s operating cash flow increased 13.5% to C$897 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased about 5% year over year to C$1.06 billion.

Pembina Pipeline’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 73.5 Canadian cents per share to its common shareholders of record as of Sept. 15. The payout will be made on Sept. 29, 2026.

During the second quarter, Pembina Pipeline advanced major pipeline and facilities projects, approved nearly C$3 billion (net) for the Greenlight Electricity Center and Heartland Extraction Plant, joined a West Coast oil pipeline initiative, and expanded long-term ethane agreements, supporting its 3Cs strategy and 5-7% annual fee-based adjusted EBITDA per-share growth target through 2030.

PBA’s Q2 Segmental InformationPipelines: Adjusted EBITDA of C$626 million decreased about 3.1% from the year-ago quarter’s level. This was caused primarily by lower net revenues on Alliance Pipeline as a result of the Alliance New Toll Structure.

Volumes in this segment saw a 1.5% year-over-year increase to 2,809 mboe/d.

Facilities: Adjusted EBITDA of C$386 million increased from the year-ago quarter’s C$331 million, driven primarily by higher revenues from the Redwater Complex as a result of RFS IV entering service in May 2026 and no comparable planned outage as occurred in the second quarter of 2025 and higher contributions from certain PGI assets due to higher volumes from the Wapiti Expansion entering service in March 2026, stronger performance at the Dawson assets, fewer planned outages compared to the prior period and higher recoveries driven by an asset upgrade.

Volumes of 889 mboe/d increased by about 7.6% year over year.

Marketing & New Ventures: Adjusted EBITDA of C$111 million increased from the year-ago quarter’s C$74 million. This increase was driven by wider WCSB and U.S. NGL frac spreads resulting from higher NGL prices, including the benefits from exposure to premium propane prices in Asian markets through West Coast exports, higher crude oil prices and sales volumes and higher realized losses on NGL-based derivatives and lower realized gains on crude oil-based derivatives.

Volumes of 372 mboe/d increased 23.2% year over year.

PBA’s Capital Expenditure & Balance SheetThe company spent C$218 million as capital expenditure in the quarter under review compared with C$197 million a year ago.

As of June 30, 2026, PBA had cash and cash equivalents worth C$153 million and C$19.8 billion in long-term debt. Debt-to-capitalization was 53.7%.

PBA’s Q3 & 2026 GuidanceThis Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) company reiterated its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of C$4.35 billion-C$4.55 billion, noting that it is currently trending to the midpoint of the range. At the midpoint of its guidance range, Pembina Pipeline expects third-quarter adjusted EBITDA to be lower than the second quarter due to seasonal trends, spending timing and certain one-time items, with stronger earnings anticipated in the fourth quarter.

Important Earnings at a GlanceWhile we have discussed PBA’s second-quarter results in detail, let us take a look at three other key reports in this space.

Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted net income per share of 55 cents, marginally beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 54 cents. The outperformance was backed by year-over-year revenue growth. However, the bottom line was flat compared with the prior-year level. Meanwhile, HAL’s second-quarter revenues of $5.7 billion were up 3.7% year over year and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.5 billion. The outperformance was driven by higher revenues in both segments of the company — the Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment.

Halliburton reported second-quarter capital expenditure of $235 million. As of June 30, 2026, the company had approximately $2 billion in cash/cash equivalents and $7.1 billion in long-term debt, representing a debt-to-capitalization of 39%.

Liberty Energy Inc. (LBRT - Free Report) reported a second-quarter 2026 adjusted net profit of 9 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents. The outperformance was driven by the company’s focus on AI-driven technology advancements and strong operational execution. However, the bottom line decreased from the year-ago quarter’s profit of 12 cents due to increased year-over-year costs and expenses. LBRT's revenues totaled $1.2 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.1 billion. The top line also increased from the prior-year quarter’s $1 billion by 14%, supported by record utilization and a modest pricing uplift along with higher product sales.

As of June 30, Liberty Energy had approximately $555.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The pressure pumper’s long-term debt of $1.3 billion represented a debt-to-capitalization of 39.5%.

Houston, TX-based oil and gas storage and transportation company Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 37 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 31 cents by 19.35%. Earnings increased 32.1% from 28 cents in the year-ago quarter. KMI’s revenues increased 10.8% year over year to $4.48 billion from the prior year’s figure of $4.04 billion. Revenues surpassed the consensus estimate of $4.29 billion by 4.43%.

Cash flow from operations was $1.96 billion in the quarter. Meanwhile, free cash flow was $978 million and free cash flow after dividends reached $313 million. As of June 30, 2026, KMI reported $89 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net debt stood at $32.03 billion at quarter-end.

Pembina schválila projekt Greenlight za C$4,6 miliardy
PBA Pembina Pipeline
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways Pembina approved the C$4.6B, 932-MW Greenlight project to power a Meta data center in Alberta.Greenlight could lift demand across Pembina's gas processing, transport, fractionation and marketing assets.A second phase and nearby land could support more data-center power projects, though execution risks remain. Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA - Free Report) is adding a new growth avenue through dedicated power generation for data centers. The Greenlight Electricity Centre broadens the company’s role beyond pipelines and midstream services while preserving its preference for long-term contracted cash flows.

The project also could lift demand across Pembina’s existing natural gas and natural gas liquids infrastructure. That wider value-chain effect is central to the investment case.

Greenlight Gives Pembina a New Growth PlatformThe 932-megawatt Greenlight facility will supply dedicated gas-fired power to a Meta data center in Alberta. Pembina and its partners reached a positive final investment decision on the C$4.6 billion gross project, with Pembina viewing it as a low-risk, stable cash flow stream.

Greenlight also diversifies Pembina’s customer and business mix. Management has described the development as a new platform at the intersection of energy infrastructure, artificial intelligence and data-center construction, giving the company another path to growth beyond its established midstream footprint.

How PBA Could Benefit Beyond the Power ProjectGreenlight is expected to create incremental demand for Western Canadian natural gas. That demand could support Pembina’s gas processing and transportation systems as well as its natural gas liquids transportation, fractionation and marketing operations.

The opportunity is therefore broader than the earnings contribution from the power plant alone. Pembina’s integrated model allows one source of gas demand to generate activity across several stages of the value chain, improving the potential economics of future projects that use nearby infrastructure.

Image Source: Pembina Pipeline Corporation

Pembina’s First-Mover Edge Could Support ExpansionManagement is pursuing a possible second phase of Greenlight and other gas-to-power developments for data centers. Pembina recently acquired land near Greenlight and the Redwater Complex, giving it room to support additional projects if customer commitments and economics align.

The competitive field is developing. TC Energy Corporation (TRP - Free Report) is targeting gas-supply growth tied partly to data centers, while Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) is advancing gas transmission opportunities serving utility, LNG and new data-center demand. Pembina’s nearby assets, land position and integrated NGL network could help it compete for projects in Alberta.

Execution and Capital Risks Still Matter for PBAGreenlight is one of several major developments competing for Pembina’s capital and management attention. The company also is advancing Cedar LNG, the Heartland Extraction Plant and other infrastructure initiatives, increasing the importance of disciplined project sequencing and cost control.

Construction costs, regulatory approvals, schedules and customer commitments could affect returns or delay cash flows. Pembina ended the second quarter of 2026 with C$19.8 billion in long-term debt, and current assets remained below current liabilities, limiting tolerance for execution setbacks.

What PBA’s Signals Say About the ThemeGreenlight could extend Pembina’s growth runway beyond 2030, particularly if the first project leads to additional data-center developments. The near-term stock signals, however, remain less favorable than the long-duration strategic opportunity.

PBA currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), along with a Growth Score of F and a VGM Score of F. The Zacks Rank reflects unfavorable earnings-estimate revision trends over the next one to three months, while the weak Style Scores indicate that the stock does not currently screen well on growth or a combined value, growth and momentum basis. Investors may therefore want to separate Greenlight’s long-term potential from PBA’s weaker near-term quantitative profile.

Pembina zvýšila EBITDA a potvrdila výhled pro rok 2026
PBA Pembina Pipeline
FMP Stock News 92
Original source text
Opportunity Knocks: Buy the Dip on Permian Resources Stock?Pembina Pipeline NYSE: PBA reported second-quarter adjusted EBITDA of C$1.064 billion, up C$51 million, or 5%, from the same period a year earlier, as solid pipeline and facilities operations and stronger marketing results offset the impact of a revised Alliance Pipeline toll structure and revenue-sharing mechanism.

President and Chief Executive Officer Scott Burrows said the quarter reflected “a constructive industry environment” alongside operational performance and new assets entering service. The company reaffirmed its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance range of C$4.35 billion to C$4.55 billion and said it was trending toward the midpoint.

Get Pembina Pipeline alerts:

Net earnings for the quarter were C$512 million, a 23% increase from the prior-year period. Adjusted earnings rose 10% to C$415 million. Total volumes across Pembina’s pipelines and facilities businesses increased 3% year over year to 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Operations and new assets support results Chief Financial Officer Cameron Goldade said the pipelines segment benefited from higher contracted volumes on the Nipisi Pipeline, which serves the Clearwater formation, and higher Cochin Pipeline revenue related to prior-period tariff adjustments. Those factors were partly offset by a lower Alliance Pipeline contribution under its negotiated settlement with shippers.

The facilities business benefited from the late-May startup of the RFS IV fractionator at the Redwater Complex and the Wapiti Expansion in Pembina Gas Infrastructure, or PGI, which entered service at the end of March. Both projects were completed on time and at or below budget, according to management.

RFS IV added 55,000 barrels per day of propane-plus fractionation capacity at Redwater. Pembina also cited improved performance at Dawson-area assets, fewer unplanned outages and higher recoveries from an asset upgrade as contributors to facilities results.

Marketing and new ventures results were supported by wider Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and U.S. natural gas liquids fractionation spreads, higher NGL prices, higher crude oil prices and higher sales volumes. Goldade said Pembina also benefited from its exposure to premium propane markets through West Coast exports, though realized NGL derivative losses were higher and realized crude-oil derivative gains were lower.

Guidance outlook includes seasonal second-half effects While maintaining its annual outlook, Pembina expects third-quarter adjusted EBITDA to be lower than the second quarter before a stronger seasonal fourth-quarter contribution. Goldade said the third quarter historically has represented 23% to 27% of annual adjusted EBITDA, with the company’s current outlook placing this year’s third-quarter contribution at the low end of that range.

Factors expected to affect the second half include seasonal weakness in WCSB NGL fractionation spreads during the third quarter, higher integrity and maintenance spending, lower Cochin Pipeline contributions compared with the first half, and seasonal Alliance Pipeline volumes. Pembina has hedged approximately 90% of its NGL fractionation-spread exposure for the third quarter and 40% for the fourth quarter.

The company said its marketing business remains sensitive to commodity prices, while annual results are also influenced by interruptible volumes, the U.S.-Canadian dollar exchange rate and share-price-driven incentive compensation costs.

Growth projects span NGLs, LNG and power demand Burrows highlighted projects across Pembina’s “3Cs” strategy of capturing basin volumes, connecting them to markets and catalyzing additional hydrocarbon demand.

Beyond RFS IV, Pembina sanctioned the Heartland Extraction Plant, which will use existing infrastructure and monetize extraction rights on the Yellowhead Pipeline. The project was accompanied by an expansion of Pembina’s commercial relationship with Dow that increases contracted ethane supply volumes by 15%.

The company also reached a positive final investment decision on the 932-megawatt Greenlight Electricity Center, a gas-fired power facility intended to provide dedicated power to a new Alberta data center being developed by Meta. Burrows described Greenlight as a new growth platform that is expected to generate long-term cash flows while creating incremental demand for Western Canadian natural gas.

Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Chris Scherman said Pembina intends to pursue future gas-to-power developments using a structure similar to Greenlight: long-term, fixed-fee and low-risk arrangements. He said the company is not pursuing a merchant-power model or a broader independent power producer strategy. Pembina has acquired additional land near the Greenlight site and Redwater Complex and is advancing discussions with potential customers for future phases.

Construction on Cedar LNG is also advancing toward expected first exports in late 2028. During the quarter, Pembina completed the pipeline that will supply the facility and moved the floating LNG vessel hull from dry dock to wet dock in South Korea. Burrows said the remaining major uncertainty is the vessel hookup and commissioning process, while other workstreams are tracking well.

Management sees broader Western Canadian growth opportunity Pembina also announced participation in the proposed West Coast oil pipeline, where it expects to contribute development and execution capabilities. Management said the project’s path to a final investment decision will require regulatory approvals, a competitive cost estimate and sufficient contracted volumes.

Burrows said incremental oil-sands production and new crude export capacity could require substantial additional condensate supply, much of which Pembina expects to come from the WCSB’s Montney and Duvernay regions. That growth could also increase demand for natural gas processing, NGL fractionation and exports.

Goldade said Pembina’s 2026-to-2030 outlook incorporated more historically based liquids-volume growth assumptions of roughly 2% to 3%. Faster basin growth could provide an additional, capital-efficient upside, he said, although it could eventually require more fractionation capacity and potentially further infrastructure investments.

The company continues to target 5% to 7% compound annual growth in fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share through 2030. Burrows said potential future Greenlight phases, the proposed West Coast oil pipeline and condensate-related opportunities could support growth into the following decade.

PBA Pembina Pipeline
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA), today announced that it has entered into a non-binding Heads of Agreement (the "HOA") with the Government of Canada, the Province of Alberta, Trans Mountain Corporation, and Alberta Petroleum and Marketing Commission, to participate in a proposed nation-building energy infrastructure initiative intended to strengthen Canada's energy transportation network and expand market access for Canadian crude oil. Pembina will contribute its development and execution expertise to a multi-stakeholder initiative connecting Canadian energy to global markets. Pembina's participation remains subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

A first-of-its-kind initiative in Canada

The HOA contemplates the development of a new approximately one million barrel per day crude oil pipeline system connecting Alberta to Canada's West Coast, and a related export terminal (the "Project"). The proposed pipeline will leverage the existing Trans Mountain pipeline right of way, also known as the southern route. The Project is being advanced as a national priority that brings together the Government of Canada, the Province of Alberta, Indigenous partners, and industry. Under the framework in the HOA, the Project would be held through a development company jointly owned by the Government of Canada, the Province of Alberta, and Pembina, with a working interest to be reserved for Indigenous partners to acquire at commercial operations. Pembina's economic interest through construction will be 10 percent with the opportunity for up to an additional 10 percent once the Project enters commercial operation. Trans Mountain Corporation will serve as the lead Project proponent, responsible for construction of the Project, the regulatory process, stakeholder and Indigenous engagement, and subsequent operation of the asset.

A defined, expertise-led role

Pembina would participate as an experienced industry operator able to provide an independent perspective on cost, schedule, and execution — complementing, rather than replacing, the lead Project proponent. In this capacity, Pembina would bring more than 70 years of safe, disciplined and cost-effective project development and execution working alongside the experienced team at Trans Mountain Corporation. As part of this, Pembina, through the HOA, is in early stages of reviewing the development plans and initial capital cost estimates for the Project; this due diligence work stream will continue until signing of definitive agreements, which is targeted for September 2026.

A measured, disciplined and risk-managed approach

Consistent with its long-standing approach to capital allocation, Pembina will evaluate participation in the Project through a disciplined and rigorous investment framework. The proposed multi-stakeholder structure is intended to appropriately align risk and responsibility among participants and includes protection for Pembina related to matters such as cost overruns and returns. Pembina has full discretion over any final investment decision ("FID") for its interest and shall have no at-risk development capital prior to FID. Pembina will assess the opportunity against defined Project milestones throughout the development period and will evaluate its participation in the context of its longstanding prudent capital allocation guardrails and its broader development portfolio. The Company intends to provide updates at appropriate milestones as the evaluation of the Project progresses.

"The Project represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to advance nation-building energy infrastructure that strengthens Canada's economy and expands access to global markets for Canadian energy," said Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pembina. "We are proud to bring our development and execution expertise to a project of this national significance. Our participation will be evaluated through the same disciplined lens we apply to every capital decision. We have approached our involvement in a way that is measured, that preserves our financial flexibility, and that incorporates meaningful protections — so that any participation remains consistent with our financial guardrails and creates durable value for our shareholders."

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA), Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners ("MSIP"), and Kineticor Asset Management ("Kineticor"), partners in the Greenlight Electricity Centre Limited Partnership ("Greenlight") (collectively, the "Partners"), today announced a positive final investment decision on the Greenlight Electricity Centre ("GLEC" or the "Project"). GLEC is a 932 megawatt ("MW") gas-fired combined cycle power generation facility to be located in Sturgeon County, within the Alberta Industrial Heartland, to serve a major data centre development (the "Customer").

Rapid growth in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing is driving durable global demand for data centre capacity and Alberta has positioned itself as an attractive jurisdiction for significant investment. Data centre projects require long-term, reliable power, and natural gas-to-power infrastructure has an important role to play in the success of this growing industry. Pembina and Kineticor have been instrumental in enabling development of the Customer's data centre project, a first of its kind in Canada. The Partners are first movers in responding to Alberta's large-scale data centre power needs and are proud to serve as the Customer's long-term, behind-the-meter power provider.

Highlights

Strategic Fit – The Project fits squarely within Pembina's 3C's Strategy to Capture volumes, Connect them to markets, and Catalyze new demand platforms. Extending its track record of value creation from adjacent new businesses, Pembina will benefit directly from its investment in GLEC through a new long-term, stable cash flow stream, and increased business and customer diversification. Additionally, GLEC will Catalyze intra-basin natural gas demand and provide a valuable new egress option to support Canadian natural gas production growth. This growth is expected to benefit Pembina's existing businesses, including natural gas processing and transportation, and natural gas liquids ("NGL") transportation, fractionation and marketing. Long-term Commercial Support – Consistent with Pembina's fee-based midstream model, GLEC will supply electricity to the Customer's data centre under a long-term tolling agreement. The agreement is a tolling arrangement providing revenues in the form of capacity payments and usage-based payments (e.g. fuel and operations and maintenance costs). The anticipated in-service date for the Project is the second half of 2030. Strong Project Economics – Greenlight has obtained a Class III level capital cost estimate of approximately $4 billion, or approximately $2 billion net to Pembina. Approximately 85 percent of this cost has been secured under fixed price agreements. The total Project cost, including $0.6 billion (gross) of interest during construction and other financing costs is expected to be approximately $4.6 billion, or approximately $2.3 billion, net to Pembina. Inclusive of the proceeds of $190 million, net to Pembina, from the sale of land to the Customer, Pembina's total net investment in GLEC will be approximately $2.1 billion. The Project is expected to generate annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA of approximately $310 million, net to Pembina. Growth Platform – GLEC will provide a meaningful contribution to Pembina's growth in 2030 and beyond, including its recently announced 5-7 percent fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share growth target to 2030. Further, Pembina believes this to be a highly scalable new business line. Pembina and its partners are advancing potential additional power-to-data centre projects, including a second phase of the generation Project, as well as other opportunities that could contribute significantly to Pembina's long-term growth. Greenlight Ownership – Greenlight is owned by Pembina (47.5 percent), MSIP (47.5 percent), and Kineticor (5 percent). "This is a tremendously exciting development within Pembina's growing and increasingly diversified business. Together with Kineticor, we have leveraged our advantaged position within the Canadian midstream energy industry and are proud to be the first mover in responding to the power requirements of Alberta-based data centres, all within Pembina's proven midstream model. Dedicated, contracted gas-to-power infrastructure represents a promising new growth platform, through which we are also helping to catalyze new natural gas demand that will provide additional benefits throughout our business." – Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer, Pembina

"The GLEC represents a significant investment in Alberta's future and a major step forward in establishing a dynamic new industry. Alberta's strong regulatory framework combined with the Province's commitment to the sustainable growth of the data centre industry has created the conditions necessary to advance this project to a positive final investment decision. We remain committed to developing sustainable infrastructure projects across Alberta that deliver affordable and reliable power while supporting long-term economic growth." – Andrew Plaunt, Chief Executive Officer, Kineticor

"Reliable, dispatchable power is the foundation of the AI and cloud economy and Greenlight will deliver it at scale to one of Canada's most important new data centre developments. We are proud to partner with Pembina and Kineticor to begin construction on this landmark project and look forward to expanding the partnership to support future growth in Alberta." – Chris Ortega, Head of the Americas for MSIP

"Alberta natural gas is powering the digital economy forward with this significant investment in electricity generation. This announcement reflects the positive momentum created by the province's memorandum of understanding with the federal government last fall, including the abeyance of the federal government's Clean Electricity Regulations. Investments like this will lead to thousands of jobs, significant economic growth, and hundreds of millions in provincial revenue that can be reinvested to support the services that matter most to Albertans." – Premier Danielle Smith

"Greenlight is a great addition to our Industrial Heartland and we welcome the opportunities it brings with its development. By building new power generation, this project helps create the reliable energy supply needed to enable future industrial growth, attract investment, and strengthen our region's competitiveness without increasing demand on Alberta's electricity grid. We congratulate Greenlight and its partners on moving forward with this project and the role it plays in supporting Alberta's energy future." – Sturgeon County Mayor Alanna Hnatiw

Greenlight Electricity Centre Overview

The Project will consist of a 932 MW combined cycle gas power plant that will supply power on a dedicated basis to the Customer's data centre. The site has the potential to be expanded to a permitted generation capacity of 1,864 MW.

GLEC will utilize two highly efficient SGT6-8000H gas turbines, two SST6-5000 "KN" Steam Turbines coupled with two SGen6-3000W Generators - all from Siemens Energy. Combining gas and steam power production in this configuration increases energy efficiency compared to traditional simple cycle gas turbine generators. Greenlight has ensured delivery timing and cost certainty through a fixed price agreement with Siemens Energy Inc. as well as a long-term service agreement with Siemens Energy Canada Limited.

GLEC will require approximately 150 million cubic feet per day of natural gas. Through recent open seasons on Pembina's Alliance Heartland Expansion Project and the TC Energy Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. systems, and other commercial arrangements, Greenlight has secured sufficient natural gas transportation capacity on a long-term basis to support the Project. Greenlight's natural gas contracting strategy provides redundancy and operational flexibility.

Greenlight has leveraged the combined experience, strong relationships, and contracting expertise of Pembina and Kineticor to support development of the Project. Kineticor led the origination and development of GLEC as part of a fully integrated offering to the Customer and will be responsible for the ongoing development of future expansion opportunities. Pembina will lead the GLEC construction management workstream, leveraging its track record of building infrastructure on time and on budget. Following construction, GLEC will be operated by a third-party contract operator under a long-term services agreement.

The Project has received all major regulatory approvals and has an anticipated in-service date in the second half of 2030.

Commercial Structure

Greenlight and the Customer have entered into a long-term Electrical Energy Supply Agreement ("EESA") under which Greenlight will provide 932 MW of capacity from GLEC to power the Customer's data centre. The EESA is structured as a tolling agreement, supporting a stable stream of capacity payments and usage-based payments (e.g. fuel and operations and maintenance costs).

GLEC's commercial structure aligns with Pembina's fee-based midstream model and will strengthen the Company's business profile by generating additional low-risk cash flows and diversifying its customer base with a new, global, investment grade counterparty.

Project Economics and Funding

Greenlight has entered into fixed price agreements with a consortium of Aecon Group Inc. (TSX: ARE) and Técnicas Reunidas for the engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") of GLEC. Together with the fixed price agreement for the purchase of turbines from Siemens, approximately 85 percent of the Project's cost has been de-risked.

Once operational, GLEC is expected to generate annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA of approximately $310 million, net to Pembina. The Project's economics reflect a prudent risk profile, including a long-term commercial agreement, lump sum EPC agreement, and certain cost protections. Separate from GLEC, Pembina may benefit from additional economics related to gas processing and transportation, liquids transportation, and fractionation.

Greenlight has arranged asset-level debt financing for approximately 60 percent of the Project's cost with the remaining 40 percent to be financed through equity contributions. Pembina's net investment of approximately $2.3 billion represents a requirement whereby each of Pembina and MSIP will fund 50 percent of Greenlight's capital. Pembina's contribution will be financed through a combination of project debt and approximately $1 billion of equity contributions. Capital spending in 2026-2027 will be funded with asset-level debt financing, while capital spending in 2028-2030 will be funded with partner equity contributions.

Integration and Expansion Opportunities

Pembina's advantages include its fully integrated wellhead-to-market infrastructure and ability to service customers across the full hydrocarbon value chain. Through GLEC, Pembina is extending its business into an adjacent opportunity arising from its existing footprint, unique capabilities, and strong relationships.

In addition to the direct benefits of Pembina's investment in the Project, GLEC will create valuable new demand for Canadian natural gas, supporting production growth that is expected to benefit Pembina's existing gas processing and gas transportation businesses, including providing support for a regional expansion of the Canadian segment of the Alliance Pipeline.

Alliance Pipeline's binding open season for a new proposed short-haul point-to-point transportation service on the Canadian segment of its system concluded on April 20, 2026. The proposed Alliance Heartland Expansion Project would provide natural gas delivery to a new meter station in Fort Saskatchewan with an anticipated in-service date in the fourth quarter of 2029. Successful proponents have been awarded capacity conditional on the project being sanctioned. The Alliance Heartland Expansion Project continues to progress toward a final investment decision, with ongoing workstreams focused on engineering and regulatory activities, including the filing of applications with the Canada Energy Regulator, which is expected to occur in August 2026.

Further, growing natural gas production supports the associated growth of other products in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, including condensate and NGL, providing additional benefits to Pembina from increased liquids transportation, fractionation and marketing services.

Future opportunities associated with GLEC include the potential to support development of the Alberta Carbon Grid and the transportation and sequestration of emissions from the Project.

GLEC is the first project within a scalable new platform. The Partners are aligned in their desire to build a midstream power business and aspire to repeat the success of GLEC with an expansion of the existing project and/or through the development of additional power plants for other data centre customers. A future expansion is expected to align well with the AESO's Phase 2 Large Load Allocation process and the Province of Alberta's 'bring your own power' data centre strategy.

Greenlight LP Ownership Update

MSIP has acquired from OPTrust, Kineticor's majority shareholder, its 50 percent ownership interest in Greenlight. In addition, upon FID, Kineticor was granted a five percent interest in Greenlight. The resulting ownership of Greenlight is Pembina (47.5 percent), MSIP (47.5 percent), and Kineticor (5 percent).

Greenlight's future capital expenditures will be funded equally between Pembina and MSIP.

"Pembina has enjoyed a strong relationship with OPTrust and Kineticor. Together we have supported development of a new data centre industry in Alberta and positioned Greenlight as a dedicated power provider with a scalable, high growth platform," said Scott Burrows, Pembina's President and CEO. "We look forward to working with MSIP given our complementary strengths and mutual desire to invest capital and generate attractive returns. MSIP is well funded and brings valuable expertise in global infrastructure development that will contribute meaningfully to our shared success."

FMP Stock News 85
Original source text
Key Takeaways Pembina Pipeline gained 24.5% in six months, outperforming its sector and sub-industry peers.PBA raised 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance after a stronger marketing performance and market conditions.PBA is advancing major projects backed by demand and contracts to support future earnings growth. Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA - Free Report) is one of Canada’s premier energy infrastructure companies, operating a vast network of pipelines, gas gathering and processing facilities, liquids infrastructure, storage assets and export terminals. Its integrated business model provides end-to-end services that connect production sites with key markets across North America and beyond. Backed largely by long-term, fee-based agreements, Pembina Pipeline generates stable and predictable cash flows while maintaining a strong focus on operational safety, reliability and disciplined capital allocation. The company continues to invest in strategic infrastructure projects aimed at supporting resource development, improving market connectivity and reinforcing its competitive position in a changing global energy environment.

For investors, the central question is whether the stock’s recent strong performance justifies maintaining a position for additional upside or warrants a reassessment of valuation levels. Evaluating Pembina Pipeline’s financial strength, favorable industry dynamics and long-term growth opportunities can provide valuable insight into whether the stock remains an attractive holding.

PBA’s Price PerformanceIn the past six months, PBA’s shares have gained 24.5%, outperforming the broader oil and energy sector's rise of 19.3% and the Oil & Gas Production and Pipelines sub-industry’s growth of 17.3%.

Core Strengths of Pembina PipelineStrong Fee-Based Business Model Provides Stable Cash Flows: Pembina Pipeline's business remains heavily supported by long-term, fee-based contracts, insulating earnings from commodity price volatility. Management highlighted that the fee-based business is performing ahead of plan and continues to support the company's target of approximately 5% annual adjusted EBITDA-per-share growth through 2026. This predictable cash flow profile allows Pembina Pipeline to fund growth projects, maintain balance sheet strength and support shareholder returns even during periods of energy market uncertainty. The stability of its pipeline and midstream infrastructure network makes the company particularly attractive for income-oriented and risk-conscious investors.

Upward Revision to 2026 EBITDA Guidance Signals Momentum: Following a strong first quarter, management increased its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance range to C$4.35-C$4.55 billion, representing a midpoint increase of approximately C$175 million from prior expectations. The upgrade reflects stronger marketing performance, improved commodity-related opportunities and favorable market conditions. Raising guidance early in the year demonstrates confidence in operating performance and suggests earnings momentum is stronger than originally anticipated. Companies that consistently outperform and raise forecasts often command higher valuation multiples over time.

A Positive 2026 Earnings Estimate: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PBA’s 2026 earnings is pegged at $2.28 per share, indicating 20% year-over-year growth. The positive earnings estimate outlook makes the stock attractive for investors.

PBA’s Earnings Estimate Overview
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Significant Growth Project Portfolio Creates Long-Term Upside: The company continues to advance a substantial portfolio of projects, including Cedar LNG, the RFS IV fractionator, Alliance Pipeline expansion and the Greenlight Electricity Center. Several projects are progressing on time and under budget, while others are approaching final investment decisions. These developments should contribute incremental earnings over the next several years and expand Pembina Pipeline's integrated value chain. Importantly, many of these projects are backed by customer demand and long-term contracts, increasing the likelihood that future capital investments will generate attractive returns.

Risks That Could Hinder PBA's GrowthDeclining EBITDA in the First Quarter of 2026: Despite a solid quarter overall, first-quarter adjusted EBITDA fell approximately 3% from the prior year. Management attributed the decline partly to the new Alliance Pipeline toll structure and revenue-sharing mechanisms, as well as weaker NGL marketing economics earlier in the quarter. While the company expects improvement going forward, the decline highlights that regulatory changes, contract renegotiations and market conditions can offset volume growth and operational improvements, creating headwinds for earnings expansion.

Earnings Remain Exposed to Commodity-Related Marketing Activities: Although Pembina Pipeline's core business is fee-based, a meaningful portion of earnings still comes from marketing operations that are influenced by commodity prices, frac spreads and market conditions. Management acknowledged that guidance improvements were driven largely by stronger marketing expectations. If propane prices weaken, frac spreads narrow, or global energy markets soften, marketing profits could decline materially. This introduces earnings variability and can make financial results less predictable than those of a purely regulated pipeline operator.

Elevated Leverage Due to Growth Investments: Pembina Pipeline expects its debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio to range between approximately 3.5x and 3.7x in 2026. While manageable for a midstream company, leverage remains elevated due to ongoing capital spending and investments such as Cedar LNG. Rising interest rates, weaker earnings, or unexpected project expenditures could place additional pressure on the balance sheet. Investors seeking highly conservative financial profiles may view this leverage level as a potential concern.

Dependence on Producer Activity Levels: The company’s infrastructure volumes depend heavily on drilling activity and production levels from upstream energy companies. While management expects long-term production growth in Western Canada, short-term activity can fluctuate due to commodity price swings, mergers among producers, or changes in drilling plans. If upstream operators reduce capital spending, throughput volumes on Pembina Pipeline’s pipelines and facilities could decline, affecting revenues.

Final Thoughts on PBA StockPembina Pipeline appears well-positioned with its stable fee-based contract structure and upward 2026 EBITDA revision that supports predictable cash flows. Ongoing expansion projects and LNG export opportunities also provide visible long-term growth potential, while positive earnings expectations reinforce confidence in its operational outlook.

However, recent EBITDA pressure, exposure to commodity market fluctuations and the company’s heavy capital spending phase introduce near-term financial risks and potential earnings volatility. Given the balance between solid long-term fundamentals and short-term uncertainties, a wait-and-see approach appears prudent for this company, allowing investors to participate in structural upside while waiting for clearer earnings traction.
