Aug 4, 2011

El Paso Pipeline Partners (NYSE:EPB) reported Q2 EPS of $0.50, missing consensus estimates of $0.54 per share. Revenues for the quarter rose 9.1% year-over-year to $358.0 million, missing consensus estimates of $360.8 million.

Jim Yardley, president and chief executive officer of El Paso Pipeline Partners said, "We continue to deliver superior results for our unitholders with another quarter of higher earnings and cash flow. Our portfolio of high-quality assets continues to grow through acquisitions and expansions. During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of additional interests in CIG and SNG, and now own 100 percent of SNG. We also placed into service additional expansion projects which brings our total to fourteen in less than three years. Our successful acquisitions and expansions have enabled us to deliver consistent distribution growth, as we have increased quarterly distributions every quarter since our IPO in 2007."

El Paso Pipeline Partners has a potential upside of 19.4% based on a current price of $35.29 and an average consensus analyst price target of $42.15.
