Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (PAGP): score, valuation & FAQ
Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (PAGP) is an Oil & Gas Midstream company that scores 58.5 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are PEG (A-) and Rev (B+). On valuation, PAGP sits about 91% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking 25% or more next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten.
Is PAGP a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores PAGP 58.5 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by PEG (A-) and Rev (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Plains GP Holdings, L.P.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does PAGP score 58.5 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on quality at 70.0 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 50.0 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. PAGP earns its highest marks on PEG (A-) and Rev (B+). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so PAGP is measured against Oil & Gas Midstream peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is PAGP overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $26.62, PAGP sits about 91% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking 25% or more next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 60.5x P/E (graded C). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in PAGP?
Trailing P/E 60.5x prices in sustained high growth — any quarter that disappoints triggers sharp re-rating. Dividend payout 363% of earnings on a 6.3% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut. Net margin 1.1% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first.
