Altagas Ltd (ALA.TO)

A larger position, as it's more stable. Half is gas infrastructure, and half is utilities. Working on a propane export facility off coast of BC. Good management. Dividend safe and increasing. Own forever.

He owns the preferreds. Is down 2% this week perhaps from a large seller, but he sees no other cause. Is for dividend investors, though don't expect big growth over time. It has risen his year on the AI rally, that data centres need energy. 

The caller asked if she should continue to keep it as 10% of her portfolio. His concern is that 10% is too high and should be dropped by half to 4 or 5%. No stock should take up 10% of a portfolio. The company itself is a great one: stable and solid with a long history of dividends and modest growth.

(Note the short timeframe.)  Plays right into the gas theme. Exciting part is the Washington Gas & Light subsidiary, which ships nat gas to the county with 15% of the world's data centres. Great yield. Best utility in NA.

It pulled off, and he exited. Worried about interest rates longer term. Nice mix of businesses, but not compelling right now. See his Top Picks for an infrastructure name at a slightly more compelling valuation. 

An income stock. Strong dividend, executing well. Still likes it, still holds it.

You always have to be putting new $$ to work. If you're at your asset allocation on equities, you don't need to add.

But if building a portfolio, this name is pretty defensive with good upside. Actually benefits from tariff noise as producers look to diversify export markets. Gaining new contracts. Utility business doing really well on data centres. Great combination of offshore gas and onshore data centres.

At 16x, trades cheaper than peers; growing around 10%. 3.1% dividend yield, which is growing nicely.

Name to look at in the same space as FTS, but at a much better valuation.

Half utility, half gas processing. Both segments doing well. Utility side rate base is growing 8%, which is higher than others. Working on large propane export projects off the West Coast. A lot of gas producers are looking for capacity outside the US; Asian markets, for example, have higher pricing. Yield is 3.16%.

Place to hide that's somewhat immune from tariffs. High growth in both utilities and midstream. Q4 announced the next wave of growth projects to the end of the decade. Increased propane sales, expansion of the North. Decent yield of 3.2%, grows 5% a year.

Stock's had a move, but still a discounted valuation at under 14x. 

Problem with the chart is that it's arcing up, making a sharp angle up. Sharp angles up almost always correct, by a little bit or a lot. The trend's been in place long enough that it will probably correct just to the trendline, around $35 or so. As long as it didn't crack $35, he'd continue to own.

A place to hide, even if tariffs go on. Great growth in utilities and mid-stream. Increased dividend. Outlook for nat gas is very strong. Earnings come out around March 7. Growing about 11%, trades at 12x. A 10% tariff would impact sentiment across the board, but not its business as much. Yield is 3.6%.

Excellent opportunity for rising gas prices. Believes demand for transition fuel will continue to rise. A.I. demands for power generation will increase natural gas demand. A.I. data centers requiring more power than can be provided. Excellent dividend yield with new projects on the West Cost. Good for long term investors. 

Shares have nearly tripled from their bottom a few years ago. Their cross-border exposure benefit further from the strong USD and is often reflected in their strong Q3s and Q4s. He expects outperformance on currency alone as they advance their midstream projects on the west coast.

We're all trying to figure out which stocks tariffs will either impact or leave unscathed. There's a thirst for natural gas, and we need to get it offshore as part of the bridge to totally clean energy. Q3 beat. Midstream continues very robust, pricing tailwinds. Trades ~15x for 8% growth. Nice dividend.

Lower-hanging fruit is gone, but it still works from here so you can buy it. GEI is a better choice now.
