Oakmark Fund stated the following regarding Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE:TRGP) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

"Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE:TRGP) is a leading midstream natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) company. Targa is a part of a group that controls 90% of the fractionation capacity in the largest hub for NGLs in the world, known as Mont Belvieu. Thanks to the region's unique topography and proximity to the Gulf Coast, Targa benefits from meaningful cost advantages and significant barriers to entry. We like that Targa generates approximately 90% of its earnings through multi-year fee-based arrangements with its customer base, which provides protection against oversupply or re-contracting. Uncertainty around Permian oil production growth has recently weighed on the share price. However, in our view, Targa remains well-positioned to grow, even if the Permian slows dramatically. We were happy to purchase shares at a discount to peers based on normalized earnings power and our estimate of intrinsic value."
