Altagas Ltd (ALA.TO)

Excellent growth story. More sensitive to a rise in yields than a lot of other names. Have a lot of debt that is coming due in the next 1 to 7 years.

One of the few stocks which has a legitimate shot at doubling the EBITDA during the next few years through several expansion projects, most notably some run of river projects, power generation projects that are going to come on stream in 2015-2016. You get this at a pretty decent value and you are going to see dividend growth alongside that cash flow growth. 4.2% dividend yield.

(Top Pick Jun 27/12, Up 37.68%) Has worked out well because of good growth potential and good dividends. Made acquisitions that have put them from a growth mode into a stable revenue company. A perfect company for the next 5 years.

Thinks they have a bit more frac exposure so she prefers Pembina (PPL-T). Dividend yield of 3.86% which is lower than Pembina.

Not really a gas producer, so not tied to the price of natural gas. More involved with the transportation. Has 2 big Hydro projects coming on in BC in the next couple of years that will significantly increase their earnings power and will probably get reclassified as a utility rather than energy.

Loves it. Phenomenal run in last little while. New production in BC will increase cash flow next year. Cash flow will be 80% utility-like next year. It will get a multiple expansion next year. 3.7% dividend paid monthly.

A core holding. Likes where they are positioned. They have been acquisitive in buying stable rate of return businesses. Are well positioned going forward in terms of LNG exports. He owns it for growth and for dividend.

(Past top pick May 28,2012 Recommended at $29.78 now $38.94 up 35.97%) Expects it to be $43 to $44 a year from now. Expects to see very good dividends.

He has recommended a few times. Biggest single theme that he is invested in (energy infrastructure). This industry will continue to be revalued. There are a lot of analysts that want to look at the last 10 years, but the opportunity now is different and the growth rate is different. Assets are very long life and contracts have indexing to inflation. They have big new projects that will add significantly to their cash flow over the next two years. If your window is 3 years you get 4% yield and 7-10% dividend years.

Dividend is quite safe. Company has 3 parts. Utility and power parts have long term contracts. Gas part has some real growth potential. Thinks it can grow 10% a year. 4% yield.

Just made a reasonable acquisition in California, which will diversify their portfolios. There are risks in moving out of their territory. A lot of political issues that are hard to understand in how that drives power prices. Paying out about 50% of their cash flow, so the dividend is safe.

Doesn’t think it has reached its full potential yet. In a low growth environment, these are the ideal stocks you want to own. Generates 4%-5% growth year after year. Infrastructure and power, so a fairly reasonable, stable cash flow. Should have room to increase their dividends down the road.

Energy infrastructure. Trading at 10X price to AFFO and all its peers are trading at a little over 12. Great balance sheet. Payout ratio on the funds from operations is probably 45%. Great company. 4.1% dividend yield.

(A Top Pick May 11/12. Up 19.51%.) Just announced a half billion project in the US and are issuing shares to raise money. Good opportunity to add to your position. Can see dividend growth of 10% a year in future. Management team has consistently delivered on good projects and under budget. Yields 4.3%. Good diversified stream of regulated and unregulated businesses.

Likes this because it is fully diversified. They are in production, distribution, energy generation. 4% yield. His company has a $40 target on this and rates it as an outperform.
