Altagas Ltd (ALA-T) has garnered positive reviews from experts, with many highlighting its strong asset portfolio that includes significant operations in the US East Coast and Canadian West Coast. The company is characterized by a stable mix of energy infrastructure (approximately 45%) and regulated utilities (about 55%), which provides a balance of growth potential and stability. Analysts commend its midstream operations and the pivotal role natural gas plays in supporting data centers, particularly as natural gas demand rises with the growth of AI infrastructure. While some analysts caution about its fair valuation and recent price movements, the overall sentiment leans towards growth opportunities associated with its strategic assets, particularly in a recovering energy market. The company's consistent dividend growth and management quality further bolster its appeal among long-term investors.

COMMENT

They have made a lot of positive progress on the balance sheet after the US acquisition. At this point they have done what it is required to stabilize the balance sheet. She does not own it.

BUY

His colleague upgraded ALA recently. It broke its long downtrend earlier this year and at that time he said don't buy until ALA breaks its downtrend. Now, it continues a new uptrend, and it pays a strong dividend. Cap your risk at recent lows; as long as it doesn't fall below around $19, ALA looks good. It's pushing higher in a new uptrend.

DON'T BUY

He would be careful with this one as the balance sheet appears stretched. Dividend growth is likely to be muted going forward. Money may come out of this one from investors.

HOLD

Selling US assets? The recent sale of assets has been to address balance sheet issues. The assets were non-core, which allows them to focus on the remaining. He does not own it, but feels management has been doing the right things. They are moving more towards being a regulated entity. Their credit rating has moved close to becoming junk status, which is why they are trying to improve the balance sheet.

HOLD

He owned it in the past. He wishes they would have come back in. The delay in the Washington acquisition caused debt to become an issue making them over levered. He owns the bonds. He likes how they are getting the balance sheet back into good repair. He would be comfortable holding.

DON'T BUY

Great business in Canada, and then they levered up to buy a gas company. No one in the market today likes debt. Numbers have stalled. There are more stable opportunities elsewhere.

BUY

Likes it. He's holding onto dividend payers like this one, but in an underweight position. Has a $20 target, and is comfortable with the dividend. A utility like this one is a good place to sit for the dividend. Massive downturn offers a great entry point. Cautionary note is the Alberta economy.

WAIT

He doesn't think we have seen the final outcome of their takeover yet, so would wait to see how that materializes. There may be some regulation hurdles to still overcome.

HOLD

A recovery story he missed. He prefers the dividend and growth that comes from Enbridge even as their business is more stable now.

HOLD

He bailed. They made this transformational acquisition in Washington and they over levered themselves. They had to spin out Alberta Gas Canada. He still owns the bonds as they are deleveraging. He wouldn't go back even as it is safer now.

BUY

They are trying to rebalance following the Washington asset acquisition. No one liked the cut in dividend, but it was prudent. The stock has bounced and the yield is around 5%. He thinks the market is not valuing it fully. They are selling assets at good prices and Washington Power had a great earnings quarter. The propane export terminal in Vancouver is a huge investment that is starting to pay off.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 10/17, Down 23%) He kept averaging down as it plunged last year, so it's been a strong performer as it has bounced up. That bottom should never have happened. problem was, they reported in Q3 when utilities report their weakest earnings in the warmest weather; you don't use as much lighting and heating then. So, ALA made a major acquisition at this time when they reported weak, and the market didn't like that. A good Q4 report then triggered a rally. He predicts Q1 will push this further up. What's under the radar is their new propane exports terminal starting now, which will help ALA recover. Sometimes the market is focused on the short term. Be patient.

COMMENT

Own debt rather than the stock. Acquisition from 2016-17 got delayed, too much debt, management changes. Core focus has to be on what core assets are in US. Not top of his list in the space. Have to get the debt down and sell assets. For dividend investors, it's at an OK level.

DON'T BUY

They spun out Canadian assets to pay for an American purchase. Pays a good yield, but sees better cash flow growth and a better balance sheet elsewhere.

BUY

The preferred K, a rate-reset They've done a good job of splitting up the company into two stocks. They've got things on track. You can hold this preferred. The next reset is not till 2022. ALA has to do more work, but he is confident they can dig themselves out.
