Altagas Ltd (ALA) has garnered a mix of bullish sentiments from various analysts, emphasizing its robust position in the energy infrastructure space, particularly with its midstream operations and utility presence. Many believe the company has significant growth potential, thanks to strong demand for natural gas tied to data centers, especially in regions like Virginia where a large portion of U.S. data centers are located. Despite some analysts expressing concerns over its mixed revenue performance and debt coverage, there is a general optimism about Altagas's ability to increase dividends and leverage its strong asset base. While some analysts suggest waiting for a market pullback to buy, most agree that Altagas has established itself as a stable investment for those looking for reliable income coupled with moderate growth. In the context of its peers, it is often compared favorably with other utility and energy stocks, signaling a healthy outlook moving forward.

PPL
BUY

Recent earnings report was strong.
Dividend is safe - very good at coverage.
Defensive name with utilities style business.
Current share price good time to buy.
Forest fires tough on business, but overall a good business. 
Higher interest rates weigh on cost of capital - but not overwhelming concern. 

BUY

AQN trades at a reasonable 14x but has no growth now. They're looking at spinning out their renewable business then reaccelerate growth. Too uncertain. Altagas has 14% growth and trades around 11x and pays a similar dividend. Safer than AQN.

TOP PICK

Had a strong Q1 and showing progress in de-risking global exports. LNG growth and strong utility growth. Low capital yet high return midstream. He expects 9.5% growth and trades at a reasonable 10.2x PE. Pays a nearly 5% dividend. Unfairly ignored by dividends. Higher interest rates have chased money away while money has poured into the FAANGs.

(Analysts’ price target is $31.15)
TRADE

Great proxy for gas. Totally basing. Likes the chart formation because you can buy at the bottom and sell at the top. Has a history of hitting the top and then falling. A trade for now. If it breaks through, lots of upside, but that's an if. See his Top Picks.

TOP PICK
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks

Europe's mild winter depressed natural gas prices and did no favours for nat gas stocks. A year ago, ALA was making new 52-week highs in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine (quagmire, anybody?) That was $7 ago for ALA-T, but AltaGas's processing business continues to be strong as the company lowers debt by selling assets like the Mountain Valley Pipeline and recently Alaskan Utilities (for US$800 million).

TOP PICK

Trades at 10x, growth rate around 10%. A mid-streamer, but trades more like a utility. Dividend very well covered. Stock hasn't worked for a while, so it probably won't hurt you here. A question of when, not if, it will work. LNG and access to global markets is certainly a tailwind for this name. Yield is 4.86%.

(Analysts’ price target is $31.06)
TOP PICK

Hold a lot natural gas processing assets located in prime areas--northeast BC--for LNG Canada, which is a slow-moving project but will be game-changing. Existing projects in Washington state and west coast Canada continue to be strong. NAT gas processing business is strong. Their utility business in the States trades at a big discount to peers because of their debt level. But they will sell their stake in the Mountain Valley Pipeline in 6-12 months, which will lessen debt. A misunderstood name, but an opportunity at these levels. Shares should trend around $30 looking ahead.

(Analysts’ price target is $31.06)
TOP PICK

Utilities very well positioned with energy recovery.
Valuable assets that are hard to replicate.
Financial guidance very strong.
Current share price not reflecting value.
~4.5% dividend very strong - room for growth.
Not much risk downside.

DON'T BUY

Not a nat gas producer, but processor with some utilities business. Hasn't owned this since 2016. From 2016 to Covid that had several trials, but they righted their ship and divested some holdings. A better stock not, but not compelled to own it. Has exposure to propane and nat gas, but there are better peers than this.

BUY

Looks positive from here. Price checked back pretty aggressively based on weak Q3 from inadequate hedging, company says that won't repeat. Core US utility business seeing 8-10% growth. Yield over 4%, good 6% dividend increase last year, increases should continue. 

WAIT
Seems to be in better shape than a few years ago. A concern is their high debt and wants to see a decline before stepping in. Likes their assets and this sector. Wait and see how the new CEO does.w
TOP PICK
Strong utility growth. Has a low capital intensive, high-growth model for their midstream operation. Will delever a lot in 2023. They just raised their dividend by 6%. It trades at 10x 2024 and he models 12% annual growth. Pays a nice 4.6% dividend. Shares had a nice move down, so now is a good time to buy it. Enjoy commodities tailwinds. (Analysts’ price target is $31.60)
Unspecified
It has a good outlook and good growth in the utility segment. Has a 4 1/2 % yield and pretty good balance sheet.
BUY
They own one of the largest positions. It has two businesses. One part is a utility company, with gas distribution is the U.S. growing well along with good rate increases. It is also a midstream business with pipeline projects including energy infrastructure, a high growth area. It is a really safe stock to own and has the best growth prospects with both businesses. There has been a dividend increase. They are focused on getting debt levels down.
TOP PICK
Strong proponent of natural gas going forward(rising demand). Softer quarter has created good buying opportunity for investors. Excellent business for the long term shareholder. Utility business will have above average growth. Midstream business growing the LNG Canada ramping up (will change natural gas in Canada).
