Plains All American ( (PAA) ) has issued an announcement.
On February 6, 2026, Plains All American reported strong fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, with net income attributable to PAA of $342 million for the quarter and $1.435 billion for the year, and adjusted EBITDA of $738 million and $2.833 billion, respectively, alongside an 18% year-over-year increase in operating cash flow to $2.94 billion. The partnership ended 2025 with a pro forma leverage ratio of 3.9x after refinancing and funding its EPIC (now Cactus III) acquisition, and set 2026 guidance around a midpoint of $2.75 billion in adjusted EBITDA and approximately $1.8 billion in adjusted free cash flow, supported by $100 million in planned efficiency gains through 2027 and $50 million of expected Cactus III synergies. Plains also raised its annualized distribution by $0.15 per unit effective with the February 13, 2026 payment and lowered its distribution coverage threshold from 160% to 150%, signaling confidence in more predictable cash flows and a multi-year runway for further capital returns, while advancing a strategic shift toward a streamlined crude oil midstream portfolio through the planned sale of its Canadian NGL business to Keyera Corp., which has been classified as discontinued operations ahead of an anticipated closing toward the end of the first quarter of 2026.
The most recent analyst rating on (PAA) stock is a Buy with a $21.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Plains All American stock, see the PAA Stock Forecast page.
