How Targa Resources Corp. scores

As of October 19, 2026, Targa Resources Corp. scores 4.8 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of mixed quality. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Targa Resources Corp.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.

Ranked with the 87 Energy companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 42nd percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. A typical company in the group scores 5.0, and the best quarter starts from 5.9. Targa Resources Corp. is in line with that typical reading.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, Targa Resources Corp. scores 7.7, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.5 across 84 Energy companies, which places it well above them, at the 78th percentile. Returns and margins at this level leave room to reinvest, absorb a bad year or return cash to shareholders without straining the business.

Solvency

On solvency, Targa Resources Corp. scores 2.1, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 6.5 across 79 Energy companies, which places it well below them, at the 4th percentile. Weak solvency means debt is heavy relative to earnings or cash flow, which makes the business more sensitive to interest rates and to any fall in profits.

Growth

On growth, Targa Resources Corp. scores 4.2, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.2 across 66 Energy companies, which places it below them, at the 31st percentile. A middling growth reading is typical of a mature company whose next step depends on reinvestment rather than on its market growing for it.

Efficiency

Efficiency scores 4.9 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 81 Energy companies is 5.5, so Targa Resources Corp. is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 43rd percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.

Predictability

On predictability, Targa Resources Corp. scores 4.4, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 3.1 across 86 Energy companies, which places it above them, at the 78th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The gap between Targa Resources Corp.’s best and worst pillar is wide: profitability at 7.7 against solvency at 2.1, 5.6 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. When solvency is the soft spot, the question is how much of the cash flow is already spoken for by debt.

What would move the score

The pillar with the most room to move the score is solvency. If it rose to the median of Energy companies, 6.5, Targa Resources Corp.’s overall score would go from 4.8 to about 5.7. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Targa Resources Corp. has a reading on every pillar.
