Atlas Pipeline Partners LP (APL): Engages in gathering and processing natural gas. Market cap at $2.16B, most recent closing price at $33.82.
The EPS estimate for the company's current year increased from 1.01 to 1.08 over the last 30 days, an increase of 6.93%. This increase came during a time when the stock price changed by 5.71% (from 31.72 to 33.53 over the last 30 days).
I continue to see it as undervalued in its peer class and considerable upside for 2013.
$APL is good income addition at $32 a share:
APL yields over 7% (7.2%) and has a series of nice distribution hikes over the past two years. The additional cash flow from the Cardinal acquisition should be positive for future distribution payment hikes.
One of the best ways to evaluate this type of play is to look at how it has done in growing operational cash flow. Atlas has almost tripled this metric over the past three years.
The five analysts that cover the stock have a median price target of $40 a share in a tight range (low target: $39 a share, high target: $42 a share). Good potential capital appreciation potential on top of the 7% yield.
With the Cardinal purchase, revenues should increase more than 50% in FY2013.
Atlas Resource Partners (ARP) reached record average net production of 62.5 Mmcfe/d for the second quarter 2012, a 57% increase from the sequential quarter and a 71% increase from the prior year quarter
Following the second quarter 2012, pro forma average net daily production reached a peak rate of approximately 102 Mmcfe/d, due to the closing of the Titan transaction in the Barnett Shale
ARP’s recent acquisitions in the Barnett Shale added approximately 527 Bcfe of net proved reserves, and increased total net proved reserves to over 700 Bcfe
ARP’s borrowing base increased on its revolving credit facility to $310 million in conjunction with the Titan acquisition
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On July 3, 2012, Patrick J. McDonie was retained as the Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Atlas Pipeline Partners GP, LLC (the "General Partner"), the general partner of Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), effective on a mutually agreeable date on or before July 23, 2012.
Since 2008, Mr. McDonie, age 52, has been President of ONEOK Energy Services Company, a natural gas transportation, storage, supplier and marketing company. Before becoming President of ONEOK Energy Services Company, Mr. McDonie was its Senior Vice President of Origination and New Business Development. Before that, from 1997 to 2000, Mr. McDonie was Director of Trading and then, from 2000 to 2005, Vice President of Trading, for ONEOK Gas Marketing Company.
In connection with Mr. McDonie's employment, Atlas Energy, L.P. ("ATLS"), the parent of the General Partner, entered into an agreement with Mr. McDonie (the "Agreement"), under which he will serve as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the General Partner. Mr. McDonie's employment is for a two year period, commencing as of the effective date of Mr. McDonie's employment (the "Initial Term"). His employment term will automatically renew for one year renewal terms unless ATLS gives prior written notice of non-renewal.
The Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $350,000, a one-time award of 70,000 phantom units of the Partnership and a one-time award of 20,000 phantom units of ATLS. The phantom units of the Partnership vest 25% per year over 4 years and the ATLS phantom units vest 25% on the third anniversary of the grant and 75% on the fourth anniversary of the grant. Upon vesting, the phantom units automatically convert to common units of the respective issuer. Mr. McDonie is also eligible for: (i) discretionary bonus compensation, which will be guaranteed for fiscal 2012 at $200,000; (ii) car allowance and country club dues; (iii) eligibility to receive subsequent grants of equity compensation; and (iv) participation in all employee benefit plans in effect during his employment.
The Agreement provides the following regarding termination and termination benefits:
-- ATLS may terminate Mr. McDonie's employment (i) for cause; (ii) without cause upon 60 days' written notice; (iii) for death or disability; or (iv) by non-renewal of the Agreement at the end of the term.
-- Mr. McDonie may terminate his employment for good reason or without good reason upon 60 days' prior written notice.
-- Upon termination of employment by ATLS without cause or by Mr. McDonie for good reason, Mr. McDonie will receive (i) his base salary paid through the end of the then-current term; (ii) pro-rated cash bonus for the year of termination, based on actual performance for the year; (iii) 100% accelerated vesting of his equity awards; and (iv) monthly severance pay in an amount equal to 1/12 of (x) his annual base salary and (y) the annual amount of cash bonus paid to Mr. McDonie for the fiscal year prior to his year of termination. For purposes of calculating the monthly severance payment upon termination of employment by ATLS without cause or by Mr. McDonie for good reason on or before December 31, 2012, the annual cash bonus paid to Mr. McDonie for the prior fiscal year is assumed to be $200,000. If Mr. McDonie's employment is terminated without cause or Mr. McDonie terminates his employment for good reason during the Initial Term, the monthly severance payments will be made for two years. If Mr. McDonie's employment is terminated due to a non-renewal for the first renewal period, the monthly severence payments will be made for one year and, if he is terminated thereafter, the monthly severence payments will be made for the unexpired term, as then in effect.
-- Upon termination of employment due to death or disability, Mr. McDonie will receive (i) his base salary paid through the termination date; (ii) pro-rated cash bonus for the year of termination, based on the bonus paid for the prior year (assumed to be $200,000 if Mr. McDonie's employment is terminated due to death or disability on or before December 31, 2012); and (iii) 100% accelerated vesting of his equity awards.
-- Upon termination of employment by ATLS for cause or by Mr. McDonie for any reason other than good reason in the first two years of employment, Mr. McDonie is subject to a one year non-competition covenant and will receive his base salary paid through the date of termination.
-- Mr. McDonie is also subject to confidentiality and non-solicitation covenants.

Almost divi time at APL. Anyone think we will get an increase this quarter?
One day at a time
OKS down a well as APL over the past week.
O&G getting hit today in general.
Trueheart
I'm guessing there has been some profit taking in APL since the new 52 week high. I don't see any news to bring it down like this.
One day at a time
Higher highs again today. That's what we're looking for! Would be nice to see them pony up on the divi this quarter. I'm drawing about a grand a year on the divi now.
One day at a time
APL is holding strong again today. Got to move that oil and gas!
One day at a time
Congrats on the great timing of your buy. Five bucks!
I got in only recently on a tip from a friend who, like you, has been in it a long time.
I'm up almost 6% so far and I'm loving it.
Trueheart
I've been riding this pony since Dec 2008 under 5 bucks a share. This is a 20 year hold and ride the divi to retirement stock for me. I do think that divi will get sweeter this year!
One day at a time
Ain't this stock the best? Share price gains and a nice dividend.
Whooooeeee!
Trueheart
New 52 week highs. Let her run! APL has been very good to me!
One day at a time
Didn't hold that big move on news the other day. This is a core holding for me having first bought in the 5 dollar range. APL has been good to me.
To thine own self be true
APL Monster pop after hours on news. Could be a good day tomorrow. May see new 52 week highs.
To thine own self be true
Nice week so far. Even my high priced divi shares are in the money after today.
To thine own self be true
I will second that. APL is a winner.
APL has been a great buy and hold for me. My starter positions are up over 500%. If this moronic market pushes it below $30 that's a no brainer add for me. I do like the divi. Looking for it to climb to a buck barring catastrophe.
To thine own self be true
This is a very good company to invest in. IMO I like these pipeline plays.
APL getting beat down today. Not seeing any specific news to push it down.
To thine own self be true
Opened my first position in Atlas under 5 bucks. Finally added more in the low 20s. Add in the divi and Atlas has been very very good to me.
To thine own self be true
I did pick up a little of this SE. I'm taking your advice and getting some of these MLP's.
APL.. Check it out, see if you like it as much as I do.
Mlp's are a great way to build a nest egg for retirement.
APL offers solid growth potential along with a solid distribution.
APL.. This is one of my Favorite MLP's along with MWE..
Great income and dividend here! Yielding 7% this $1.1b energy company is a provider of natural gas gathering services in the Anadarko and Permian Basins. It owns and operates eight natural gas processing plants with a capacity of over 900 million cubic feet/day and a treating facility with approximately 200 million cubic feet/day. It partners with other companies such as Laurel Mountain to leverage interests.
Natural gas sector stocks are going to outperform in 2011. This is one of them IMO.
Nice call here LGB, it hit your market on Que and then some!
$20 just about here.. i think we hit it this week.
well check out that news!! doesnt get much better than this!!
I agree, when APL gets going again its going to $20+ imo. GLTY TFF
hope everyone has got in here by now, this thing is a monster the lately!
Bottom gotta be getting close now imo. GLTA TFF
Was just making sure news wasnt driving her down, love this company.
all stocks have been selling off, the market has sucked everyones money out all week
1 year target $25/share. that would be niiice
i say we make it to $15 today.
anyone listening in on the call right now?
glad i got in this stock when i did!
OOps sorry Sister.....My bad really
Let me know if you find anything positive or negative....
If the markets dont have a sudden correction then I feel APL will generally keep zig zagging up....lol
