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.

DON'T BUY

They bought a large operation in the US and then sold some assets to finance it. The market did not like it and eventually they cut the dividend. She likes other infrastructure companies that have more visibility in terms of cash flow and better growth profiles.

COMMENT

It was a disappointment in 2018. Their acquisition caused them to take on a lot of debt. People's appetite for debt laden companies came off the table. They restructured and took some debt off the table. The market didn't like their reduction in investment rating by a ratings company. It is still yielding 7% and they have an export terminal and they bought some gas assets that will generate some cash. The only issue is how they will raise money to address their remaining debt.

DON'T BUY

It is beaten up. The debt and acquisition they did. The spin out, AUI-T, he owns and likes. It has a safer yield.

COMMENT

A lot of the pain is now behind them. But don't expect a quick recovery. They just cut their dividend and are selling their Canadian divisions to reduce their heavy leverage. They might be fine. But this could be in $10-15 for some time. It takes time to de-leverage. But the worst is certainly behind them.

DON'T BUY

Time to buy? You can't find a good chart these days. But the longer term trend was bearish to begin with, and now with the recent waterfall, it's gone down. Market's oversold, and you could get a bounce, but that's all he'd look for. He starts with technicals, so he wouldn't even be looking at this stock.

DON'T BUY

Was the decision to cut the dividend a dumb move? That was necessary. Management is like a gang that can't shoot straight. They destroyed this business by making an acquisition in the US. Very disappointed investment. They sold it at around $20. They are trading utilities companies like day trading. Only investment bankers are making money off this company in the last 5 years.

COMMENT

They've disappointed investors. Before, you bought a good utility with this, but then they spun it off with a lot of leverage. Some may question if the dividend is sustainable. He doesn't think it'll be immediately cut, but be careful with this one. Other utilities are safer.

WATCH

They are paying too much in a dividend – twice what they are earning. It is trading at 40% of book value, which is cheap. If the earnings forecast of $1.09 per share comes through next year, it is really cheap today and could bounce back to $21.

DON'T BUY

The dividend isn't sustainable, now at 15%. The market has already priced in a dividend cut. He sold his shares in 2016. They blew their brains out on the WGL purchase, then the CEO left. Tax-loss selling is kicking in. But don't sell it now. A new CEO starts at Dec. 13 who may cut the dividend, and ALA may benefit from the January effect. But long-term, don't own this.

DON'T BUY

It is a tough call at this stage. They made a pretty bad acquisition in California that is really taking them down. There are better opportunities out there. He prefers KEY-T.

DON'T BUY

Dividend is over 15% now; it keeps rising because the stock keeps falling. He's short it. It's getting to the point where it's a dangerous short, because it's fallen so fast. It scores at the botom of valuation and price momentum. Balance sheet is okay. Aside from shorting, he wouldn't buy it. He wants to see the trend turn up to buy it; and he wants to see improving earnings.

DON'T BUY

The integration of WGL and concerns over funding costs were overshadowed by a weak quarterly earnings report. They sold out at $18.25. They own good quality assets, but financing costs and concerns over higher interest rates is casting doubt out the dividend being maintained. Their risk management would not allow them to enter into this.

COMMENT

He bought the spin-off, Altagas Canada, recently, not this; it has a better balance sheet and growth. For ALA, the worry has been over the WGL acqusition and they massively levered to buy it. The spin-off is helping to ease debt. It'll take time to assimilate WGL. Yes, there's tax-loss selling going on now. He wouldn't sell it now, but expect a dividend cut. Look at the spin-off instead.

SELL

He would be inclined to sell. This is not one of the strongest utilities, there are other options. He would like to see what their US acquisition does for them. Their balance sheet is quite over levered. He does not think the current dividend yield of almost 15% is sustainable.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 13/17, Down 36%) Got out of it at around $20. It was a leverage problem. Since the last quarter there are rumors that the dividend is going to be cut. At 14% yield the distribution is unsustainable. they still have good assets.
