Investment thesis

Despite a strong growth profile, BIP fails the quality minimum with free cash flow deeply negative relative to net income and price momentum broken; less than 1% headroom to the price target and a risk/reward of roughly 0.2-to-1 leave the setup without adequate compensation for the risks present.
