This summary was created by AI, based on 17 opinions in the last 12 months.
Altagas Ltd (ALA) has garnered a mix of positive insights from analysts, primarily highlighting its robust asset base on both the US East Coast and Canadian West Coast. The company stands out with strong midstream operations, providing reliable support for data centers during power outages, while benefiting from natural gas demand linked to increased energy needs. Analysts notice the stock's attractive valuation at a PE of 18x and its solid dividend yield of 2.71%. There's a consensus on the stock's growth potential driven by ongoing projects and LPG export capacity. However, some caution exists regarding its recent market performance and the impact of interest rates on future valuations.
Exposed to AI, the growth in data centres, particularly in one county in Virginia (they say it's home to 60-70% of all US internet traffic). They need server farms, and natural gas is the backup power. The local electrical power producer can't keep up with all the demand that everyone's buying NVDA for. Nice yield.
ALA trades at 12x earnings, growing at 12%. On PEG ratio, it's cheaper. Yield is 4%, growing comfortably at 5-8%.
BCE is paying a wonderful dividend. PE is more expensive. No growth right now, perhaps will see 3% in a couple of years. At $47, still a bit of upside from today's levels. Regulatory announcements have to go well for BCE, still pricing issues, still a bit of wood to chop.
For fresh money, ideally split it between both. If he had to choose one, it would be ALA.
Strong utility growth. Very good valuation. As earnings move up, still trading at 12.5x 2025 earnings, estimated 12% growth rate. Dividend growing at 6%.
As breadth widens in this market, so many areas to put money. Don't forget about a name like this, hit a nice single without too much headache.
They're not that tied to the oil price, because they're more into natural gas and a midstream segment. This has pulled back with most utilities, due to interest rates and general profit taking. A well-run company that pays a good dividend. Not a bad name in utilities.
