Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$38.34

-44.6% from spot

The base scenario reflects the house modal expectation where execution of fully subscribed take-or-pay pipeline laterals and the integration of Momentum drive solid revenue and earnings expansion. Elevated transformation build expenditures peak across the near term before moderating, enabling free cash flow conversion to normalize. This path generates a target of $38.34 with an assessed probability of 55.0%, representing an expected return of -44.6% relative to $69.26.

Line 200 expansion and lateral projects commercialize in line with multi-year schedules
Operating margins stabilize near normalized levels despite marketing segment fluctuations
Capital intensity declines post-build phase toward ongoing maintenance requirements

Bull20%

Price target

$41.89

-39.5% from spot

Under the bull scenario, power generation interconnect demand accelerates rapidly, driving data center multi-lateral contract expansions and higher recontracting tariffs across the Transco corridor. Momentum synergy capture exceeds targets, expanding operating margins and lifting compound earnings growth toward double digits. Supported by fully contracted take-or-pay capacity, this path yields a target of $41.89 with an estimated probability of 20.0% and an implied return of -39.5% from the reference price of $69.26.

Power generation interconnect demand accelerates with multi-lateral utility commitments
Momentum acquisition integration exceeds synergy expectations with margin expansion
Terminal valuation multiple expands reflecting premier infrastructure scarcity
