    Another View on Targa Resources Valuation

    The headline narrative frames Targa Resources as about 9.1% undervalued on future earnings assumptions. Yet on a simple P/E comparison the stock looks expensive, trading at 26.8x against a fair ratio of 23.8x and a US Oil and Gas industry average of 13.6x and peer average of 16.1x. That richer multiple can limit upside if expectations ease, so investors may want to consider how much conviction they have in the growth story that underpins it.
