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.
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)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)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)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.
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.
