Summit Midstream's recent financial reorganization introduces a new major shareholder. The troubled past of Summit Midstream may lead to market mispricing compared to future prospects. The stock's volatility is heightened by the lack of historical performance under the current structure.
Summit Midstream has transformed post-COVID-19, improving its financial position and extending debt maturities to 2029, enhancing shareholder returns. The Tall Oak acquisition and portfolio improvements position Summit Midstream for long-term growth, with a focus on natural gas and 8% EBITDA growth. Key risks include the future of the Piceance basin and natural gas demand; however, rising prices and LNG demand are promising.
Summit Midstream Corporation is a small-cap company worth almost $400 million that was heavily impacted by COVID-19. The company's non-premium assets have posed challenges, but efforts to clean up the balance sheet are underway. Summit Midstream is focused on generating long-term shareholder returns despite the difficult position it currently finds itself in.
