Altagas Ltd (ALA-T) has received a range of positive reviews from experts, highlighting its solid growth potential and strong infrastructure in both the U.S. and Canada. Analysts note that ALA's business is well-positioned to benefit from the increasing demand for energy, particularly in relation to data centers that rely on natural gas. The company’s balanced portfolio, comprising approximately 45% energy infrastructure and 55% regulated utilities, offers stability while also having exposure to growth markets. Some experts express a bullish outlook on ALA, suggesting it as a buy, particularly during market sell-offs, although opinions vary regarding the timing of investments and price levels, reflecting a mixed sentiment on short-term fluctuations. Lastly, the dividend yield and steady revenue from its operations in Virginia and Western Canada contribute to its attractiveness as a long-term investment.
Picked for natural gas tailwinds with cheap share price. Good midstream business with global exports. Excellent value in the share price - at the time. Still priced fairly. Expecting earnings, cash flow and dividend to continue growing. A good company to continue to hold/
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.
Has been cheap relative to growth rate for several years. If the company executes well and interest rates fall, this can get to his target of $39. Just reported, outlook was as expected. New products coming online in 2026 & 2027. Nice dividend, probably growing at 6% for 2025, and 5% thereafter. Trades at 13.4x, reasonable growth rate ~7%.
Still likes it, though GEI may look better right now on price to growth.
