PPL

WEAK BUY

Pays a safe, good 4% yield. Any infrastructure company carries a lot of debt, and ALA is doing okay. Good price momentum and low volatility. He'd like to see more growth though. Stable overall. You won't go wrong collecting the dividend.

BUY

One of his favourites. He'd buy it here. Tremendous growth in its core utilities, unappreciated by the market. Midstream assets in Western Canada are very positive. New management is doing well. Should see steady increases in the dividend. Better things ahead.

WAIT

Near term, energy appears to be consolidating. Infrastructure companies have had a great run, and will take time to consolidate. Longer-term, probably a good investment. Correction only started in last couple of weeks, so this may take some time.

BUY

Still likes it. Pays a good dividend. He still sees value in the energy sector as a whole, as oil and natural gas prices will hold. [Note: audio problems]

HOLD

Delevered the balance sheet. She owns other utilities. If you own it, it's a good income stock. Attractive yield.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 06/20, Up 94%) Finally the stock is getting the right mix of management pulling the right strings and time passing so that some of the thesis was being allowed to play out. It is still his largest position, thinking there is lots of good things ahead for the company.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks AltaGas is finally winning as it deleverages and enjoys a rise in nat gas prices, from $2.03/MMBtu in 2020 to $3.04 this year and expected to be $3.11 in 2022. AltaGas’s EPS growth is declining, but at $1.74 it’s still above the $1.31 industry standard. Book value and cash flow are also above its peers. Same goes with ROE, ROI and its margins: 10.24% profit margin vs. the industry’s 9.5%. ALA’s P/E of 12.4x is just a tick above the industry standard, but analysts foresee strong growth ahead at a higher forward P/E of 13.65x. Speaking of which, ALA stock’s revenue growth in 2020 was 10.13%, which outpaced the industry’s 9.64%. Read 2 Rising Canadian Price Targets: AltaGas & Aecon for our full analysis.

BUY

A quiet stock that no one is paying attention to. Trades at 12.4x 2022 expected earnings which is very reasonable. Dividend is nice and well covered. 11% EPS growth modelled. Balance sheet is not great, but it trades as a mid-stream. However, 66% of their business is utilities. A good buy at these levels.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 04/20, Up 4%) It remains his biggest holding. A lot lies ahead for ALA. They have exposure to the western Canadian natural gas market (he's very bullish about this) through their Ridley Island propane terminal. He feels good about ALA. It's very well-positioned. They raised their dividend at the end of last year, which was earlier than he expected, and he expects it to grow more. ALA stock should reach the mid/high-20's in the next 12-24 months.

PARTIAL SELL

They've done a great job and the stock has done better lately with a pretty decent dividend yield. There is not much growth going forward. He switched some to AQN-T to get a play on the renewable. But there is nothing wrong with ALA-T.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 06/20, Up 2%) Represents good value here. Will get solid, steady returns on their Washington utility. Will participate in the changes to NA electrical grid. Offshore nat gas in BC is at capacity. Firing on all cylinders. Increased dividend in December, ahead of schedule.

COMMENT

Misunderstood and undervalued. Now being upgraded to outperform, and this speaks to better times ahead. Balance sheet being restructured in a positive way. Should see dividend increases next year or the one after. $17 is decent, but anywhere below $16 is a great entry point. Yield is 5-5.5%.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He's followed this. They were once saddled with a ton of debt after buying a huge US utility, WGL, but have sold assets to pay that down. They're much better now. Several of their assets have done well, including their propane export facility which is tracking ahead of expectations. Last week, they announced they'll increase their stake in Petrogas which is accretive, though funded by debt. ALA is in a good position now. The dividend is safe. In a few years, they 'll have to seek opportunities elsewhere. Likes this, but look for a better entry point.

BUY

For income investors He sold this at $18. It's likely safe to own again and the yield is safe. Stable earnings, though only single-digit growth. He's comfortable with this. It pays a 5.8% yield, paid monthly.

COMMENT

He owned it years ago when they had just did a big acquisition in the U.S. which inspired concerns over leverage. All this hit the stock. It has since bounced back with great hydro and infrastructure assets. Pays a good, consistent yield. But he prefers Brookfield Infrastructure because it has more global assets that are run by fine managers. He prefers Brookfield.
