11:28 AM EDT, 10/06/2025 (MT Newswires) -- National Bank of Canada Monday maintained Pembina Pipeline (PBA) 's outperform rating and $56 price target.

Pembina recently said it is advancing the phase one of the AESO large load allocation process with project partner Kineticor, securing a 907 MW allocation that has been assigned to a potential customer.

Pembina also announced that it signed an agreement to ensure grid connection and access to power by 2027 while reserving major equipment, including two turbines from a reputable power original equipment manufacturer, supporting a potential start-up of the combined-cycle project by 2030.

Meanwhile, Greenlight and a customer entered into a conditional agreement for land owned by Greenlight and Pembina for $190 million. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

The bank based the price target on a risk-adjusted dividend yield of 5.0% applied to the estimated 2026 dividend of $2.93 per share, a 12.0x multiple of the 2026 Free-EBITDA and DCF/sh valuation of $56.75.

Pembina's share price fell 1.5% at last look to $57.92 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Price: 57.99, Change: -0.78, Percent Change: -1.33

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
