Another View on Keyera's Valuation

The most popular Keyera narrative leans on detailed cash flow forecasts, but the current market price tells a different story. At about 87.7x P/E, the stock trades well above the Canadian Oil and Gas industry at 24.5x, its peers at 26.2x, and a fair ratio of 27.4x. That gap suggests investors are paying a high upfront premium, so how comfortable are you with everything that has to go right to justify it?
