Highlights

Shares of Williams Companies (WMB) have trended sideways year-to-date (down just 2%) after the year kicked off with an ill-timed, dilutive deal that sent the stock down 10%. The presenter remains long at $30, and sees upside potential (to $40-44) for shareholders looking out to 2018-19 on EBITDA growth and deleveraging. Downside should be limited due to decreased exposure to Chesapeake (from the high teens to low double digits) and the sale of an ethylene cracker that had weighed on results. With 97% of the business now fee-based, WMB could grow EBITDA by 7% - or slightly better - per year through the end of the decade. Applying a reasonable mid-teens multiple to the presenter’s estimates for distributable cash flow (DCF) per share in 2018 and 2019 (~$1.90 and ~$2.20, respectively) results in upside to $35 near-term. Longer-term, there is still the potential for upside into the $40s if EBITDA can grow faster than modeled in the base case.
