Investing.com - Morgan Stanley initiated coverage on WaterBridge Infrastructure (NYSE:WBI) with an Equalweight rating and a $32.00 price target on Monday. The target represents potential upside from the current price of $24.17, though InvestingPro data indicates the stock’s RSI suggests overbought conditions.
WBI is described as a pure-play water infrastructure service provider for exploration and production companies, with assets primarily concentrated in the Delaware Basin, according to Morgan Stanley’s research note. The company, currently valued at $2.98 billion, generates annual revenue of $645.71 million with a robust gross margin of 58.56%.
The company provides water handling and recycling services for water produced alongside crude oil and natural gas, operating what Morgan Stanley identifies as the largest produced water infrastructure system in the United States.
As of July 31, 2025, WBI’s infrastructure network included approximately 2,500 miles of pipelines and 196 produced water handling facilities on a pro forma basis, with its system handling over 2.6 million barrels per day (MMBPD) of produced water.
Morgan Stanley noted that WBI’s recent pipeline expansions have increased its capacity to 4.5 MMBPD, exceeding current usage and positioning the company for expected growth over the next five years without requiring significant additional capital expenditure beyond in-flight projects to achieve strong EBITDA growth.
