In short
- Thesis
- The market prices Pembina as a steady pipeline business with large spending plans, and fee-based growth from sanctioned projects that start on time while the dividend stays covered can lift its value.
- Gap
- Slow. Only several years of new projects that start on time, such as Cedar LNG and Greenlight, can raise fee-based earnings per share toward the price.
Company guidance: 2026 adjusted EBITDA of C$4.45 billion to C$4.55 billion, trending to the upper end of the range (, Q3 2026 results (6-K))
Price history
About
Pembina Pipeline Corporation (Pembina) is a Canadian energy infrastructure company based in Calgary, Alberta. It moves and processes oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) in western Canada, and it exports NGL from the West Coast. It has three divisions: Pipelines, Facilities, and Marketing & New Ventures. Pipelines had adjusted EBITDA of $606 million in Q3 2026, Facilities had $400 million and Marketing & New Ventures had $167 million.
Pembina also has stakes in Alliance Pipeline, Cedar LNG, Pembina Gas Infrastructure and the Greenlight Electricity Centre, which it reports as equity accounted investees. Total adjusted EBITDA was $1,128 million in Q3 2026. Pembina reports in Canadian dollars and had 582 million common shares at the end of Q3 2026. The shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: PPL) in Canadian dollars and on the NYSE (PBA) in US dollars.
The pick is the NYSE listing, and one NYSE share is one common share. Pembina files an annual report on Form 40-F and furnishes its quarterly reports on Form 6-K.
Thesis
The market prices Pembina as a steady pipeline business that now has slower growth and large spending plans. Adjusted EBITDA rose 9% to $1,128 million in Q3 2026, and Pembina says that its 2026 adjusted EBITDA is trending to the upper end of a range of $4.45 billion to $4.55 billion. Part of the gain came from NGL margins that depend on commodity prices, not from fees. Pembina sanctioned about $3 billion of projects since April 2026, including the 932 megawatt Greenlight Electricity Centre, and it is building Cedar LNG, so cash goes out before earnings arrive.
The new toll structure on Alliance Pipeline lowers its revenue. For the gap to close, fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share must grow at the target of 5% to 7% a year through 2030, and the new projects must start on time and on budget. The dividend of $0.735 per share each quarter must stay covered while debt stays inside Pembina's limits. The Q4 report in February 2027 and the Pacific Link conditions in the second half of 2027 are the next tests.

Risks
- Part of earnings depends on commodity prices. The Q3 2026 gain in the Marketing division came from NGL margins and premium propane prices in Asia. If these prices fall, adjusted EBITDA will fall even when fees do not.
- Large projects may cost more or start late. Cedar LNG is more than 77% built and 2026 is its largest spending year. Greenlight is a new business with $2.7 billion of loans for the plant. Pacific Link depends on approvals and on a final investment decision.
- Alliance Pipeline earns less over time. The new toll structure lowered Alliance revenue in Q3 2026, and the rate settlement keeps today's mainline recourse rates only until the end of May 2028, then steps them down.
- Debt is high for a business with large spending. Loans and borrowings were $12,071 million, hybrid notes $1,025 million and Pembina's share of investee loans $4,712 million at September 30, 2026. Interest costs rise if debt grows.
- Producers in western Canada may drill less. Volumes depend on gas and oil production of customers such as Whitecap, and lower prices can slow drilling.
