Dominion Offers to Acquire Dominion Energy Midstream Units
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dominion Energy Inc. (D - Free Report) recently offered a proposal to acquire all outstanding units of Dominion Energy Midstream Partners (DM - Free Report) , which are not owned by the company, at 8.2% premium to the 30-day volume-weighted average unit price.
The offer is made to acquire all outstanding common units in exchange for Dominion Energy common shares. Per the offer, each unit will receive 0.2468 Dominion Energy shares, which equates to a per-unit valuation of $17.75.
Reason Behind the Proposal
Dominion Energy Midstream Partners is a partnership formed by Dominion Energy, Inc. to grow a portfolio of natural gas terminaling, processing, storage, transportation and related assets. This proposal is expected to address the negative impact of changes in FERC tax policy on future cash flow of current partnership assets and will control the drop in unit prices.
On Mar 15, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) revised a policy, which continues to have an adverse impact on the unit prices of Dominion Energy Midstream Partners. FERC revised its 2005 Policy Statement for Recovery of Income Tax Costs so that it no longer allows MLPs to recover an income tax allowance in the cost of service.
Since the Mar 15 revision, units of Dominion Energy Midstream Partners have lost 29.5% till Sep 18, 2018.
When the Deal is Expected to Close?
On Feb 23, 2018, Dominion Energy owned nearly 47.5% limited partner interest in the partnership. The agreement between the parties is expected to be reached in the fourth quarter and the transaction is likely to close in the first quarter of 2019.
The deal, when completed, will be dilutive to Dominion Energy but at the same time, the company will be in full control of a high-quality midstream operator.
Price Movement
In the past six months, shares of the company have gained nearly 4.4% compared with its industry's growth of 3.1%.
Northern Oil & Gas delivered an average positive earnings surprise of 138.54% in the trailing four quarters. Earnings estimates of the company have moved up 29.3% to 53 cents in the past 60 days.
NextEra Energy Partners delivered an average positive earnings surprise of 67.53% in the trailing four quarters. Earnings estimates of the partnership have moved up 61.9% to $2.77 cents in the past 60 days.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
