Keyera Announces Acquisition of Remaining 50% Interest in KAPS
Keyera buys out Stonepeak's KAPS stake for $1.2B, funds via $525M equity raise; execution on integrated midstream strategy continues.

Executive Summary
- Keyera closed the acquisition of the remaining 50% non-operating interest in the KAPS pipeline from Stonepeak Partners LP for $1.215 billion, achieving 100% ownership and operational control.
- The transaction is funded via existing credit facilities and will be repaid through a $525 million bought-deal equity offering priced at $53.55 per share.
- Management expects the acquisition to be low-single-digit accretive to distributable cash flow (DCF) per share.
- The deal increases the targeted fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share CAGR for 2025-2027 to 16%-18%.
- Incremental 2026 growth capital guidance is reduced by ~$100 million to $450 million-$525 million to fund Keyera's increased share of KAPS Zone 4 construction.
- KAPS Zone 4 construction remains on time and on budget, with an expected mid-2027 in-service date.
Material Impact
- The KAPS acquisition and equity raise are strategic executions of a previously announced plan. They are accretive to DCF per share, reduce near-term capex needs, and align with prior guidance. However, the stock's +35% run-up over the past year implies these benefits were already priced in. The equity raise at a standard bought-deal discount is routine financing. The news is positive but not a surprise, and the market's prior reaction suggests limited incremental upside unless synergies accelerate or capex comes in below guidance.
