Wednesday, May 1, 2:27 PM Seadrill Partners (SDLP) is initiated with a Buy at Global Hunter, which likes SDLP's young fleet that's highly contracted with major oil companies and anticipates a long runway of attractive distribution growth driven by dropdown acquisitions from parent Seadrill (SDRL). The firm sees limited downside risk given SDLP's IDR/subordination structure and ample distribution coverage cushion. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Friday, January 25, 6:45 AM Seadrill Partners LLC (SDLP) declares its first-ever distribution of $0.2906/unit, prorated for the period starting on 24 Oct. The quarterly distribution stands to $0.3875/unit or $1.55/unit on annualized basis. Forward yield 5.50%. For shareholders of record Feb. 04. Payable Feb. 14. Ex-div date Jan. 31. (PR) 1 Comment [Dividends]
Friday, November 16, 2012, 11:54 AM Seadrill (SDRL) is upgraded to Outperform from Neutral at Credit Suisse, which says the IPO of Seadrill Partners (SDLP) was transformational for SDRL as it provides a platform to deliver and/or further growth. Also, SDRL has incentive distribution rights that should increase in value by $3-$5/share as SDRL drops down assets into SDLP. 2 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 10:58 AM Seadrill Partners (SDLP +1.1%) is initiated at Citigroup with a Buy rating and $30 price target based on applying a 5.3% yield to its cash distribution estimate of $1.59/unit. The firm says SDLP already trades at a hefty premium due to its fleet comprised solely of new and technologically advanced rigs and attractive cash flow payout structure. 1 Comment [Energy, Quick Ideas]

SeekingAlphaReader: Not really? SDLP is small by market cap and rig count, and each future rig dropped down from SDRL will dramatically increase earnings.

SDLP does not appear to have yet sold all initial shares, and at the current daily volume we have yet to see a true trading range.
