Altagas Ltd (ALA-T) is recognized as a strong player in the energy infrastructure sector, particularly due to its balanced portfolio comprising about 55% regulated utilities and 45% energy infrastructure. Analysts note its unique positioning, benefiting from the growing demand for natural gas driven by data centres, especially in regions like Virginia that house a significant portion of these facilities. The company's growth prospects appear robust, backed by ongoing investments and expansion plans, including propane exports. However, there are mixed sentiments regarding the stock's current valuation and its short-term performance, with some experts advocating for cautious entry during market pullbacks. Several analysts find ALA provides steady cash flow with a promising future linked to energy demands, although concerns about valuation and market positioning persist.
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.
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.
(Note the short timeframe.)
Still likes it. One of his largest positions.
