On Wednesday, Stifel analysts reinstated coverage of TXO Energy Partners (NYSE: TXO) with a Buy rating and established a price target of $20.00 per share. Currently trading at $16.92, the stock has attracted attention from analysts who have set price targets ranging from $22 to $27. The firm highlighted the company’s experienced leadership and low debt as key factors in its positive outlook. InvestingPro data confirms the company operates with moderate debt levels, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.26. TXO Energy Partners, characterized by Stifel as a low-leveraged exploration and production master limited partnership (MLP), has garnered attention for its asset portfolio, which includes holdings in the San Juan Basin, the Permian Basin, and the Bakken Shale.
The assets, particularly noted for their low production decline rates, have been further bolstered by a recent acquisition in the Bakken region. Stifel pointed out that TXO Energy’s conservative capital expenditure budget is designed to maintain relatively stable production levels while cash flows are expected to fluctuate with commodity prices, albeit mitigated by the company’s hedging strategies.
Stifel’s analysis also underscored the company’s distribution strategy, which aims to allocate 100% of its cash available for distribution to its unitholders. This approach is backed by a goal to sustain leverage around 1x. The firm’s positive stance is further justified by the potential total return of 29% for TXO Energy Partners’ unitholders, which is anticipated to come from an 11% yield, based on Stifel’s 2025 distribution estimate, and an 18% capital appreciation. Current InvestingPro data shows an impressive dividend yield of 14.42%, with dividend growth of 17.31% over the last twelve months.
