Atco Ltd (ACO.X-T) is gaining significant attention for its modular housing segment, which is thriving due to government initiatives like Canada Builds Homes.

The stock has shown consistent upward trends since late 2023, indicating strong market support.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 20/22, Down 7%)

Has 20 years of dividend increases. But rising interest rates are competition for dividend-paying utilities. That said, long term this is a good company.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

We again reiterate this Canadian infrastructure utility, who just acquired a sizeable portfolio of wind and solar assets in Alberta and Ontario as a TOP PICK.  They inked a 15 year renewable energy deal with Microsoft. It trades at 1.2x book and at 12x earnings. We like that cash reserves are growing while paying down debt and buying shares.  It has a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 55% of cash flow. We recommend maintaining the trailing the stop at $40, looking to achieve $50 -- upside over 16%. Yield 4.2%

(Analysts’ price target is $49.81)

WEAK BUY
Boring company, but outperformed the market this year. Decent yield, not high growth. Decent player over time. He'd prefer pure utility stocks, like CU. OK at this time.
TOP PICK
Believes company is a good defensive position. 29 years of dividend increases. Well managed company that is moving into renewable space. Stock price has outperformed other sectors of economy. Under followed company. Good price to buy.
TOP PICK
This is a cheaper way into Canadian utilities. It is very close to its long term low which is its book value. Has a slightly smaller dividend yield. It puts some defensiveness in your portfolio. Hold for the long term. Buy 4 Hold 2 Sell 1

DON'T BUY
No growth in this company and does not own anymore. If rate base doesn't grow, profitability and dividend won't grow. Growth rate not offsetting inflation. Not a good company to own.

BUY
Has long admired it. Given all the building going on, opportunities are opening up for them. Board has always been sensitive to shareholders concerns. Good, long-term hold.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 06/20, Up 20%) Has over 26 straight years of dividend growth, but can't catch a break from the market. He still likes it for its dividend, exposure to renewables (regulated assets) and its management. It's a bond proxy and a steady operator.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 06/20, Up 14%) Dividend aristocrat. Safe and steady. Gets little love from investors. Continues to chug along. Good for income in your portfolio.
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 18/20, Up 27%) 27 consecutive years of increasing dividends. Very well run operations. They also have renewable assets. The value rotation has helped the stock run up. the dividend is now at 3.9%. The run up is more a normalization and continues to buy it.

BUY
Very defensive. Reasonable investment as a long-term, income stock. Growing and geographically diversifying. Yield is 4.5%.
