BUY

It is half an independent power producer and half a regulated US utility. He thinks the future is bright. He thinks it will continue to grow organically as well as to look at every deal that comes onto the table. He paired back his position as the stock price edged up.

COMMENT

Sell Fortis and AQN to buy OTEX? AQN is a great utility; they've done a good job growing. He owns Emera in this space. Utilities have done very well until recently when a trade deal looked possible. He'd own OTEX before AQN, because it has generated a higher return on equity historically. Occasionally, OTEX makes a big acquisition to surprise the market in a good way. OTEX is doing more cloud work, which amounts to wider margins.

BUY

He likes the utilities and the chart looks good. He owns it personally. The environment right now is favourable for utilities and he likes the stock.

STRONG BUY

It is a core holding. It is considered the safest utility. It is near the top of his list right now.

HOLD

He likes this and has owned it as a Past Top Pick. He was a buyer below $10. It grows by acquisition along with good organic growth. It is still undervalued compared to its peers. It could still go up another couple of dollars per share. A good solid hold.

HOLD

It is trading at an all time high. They have done great with a great management turn. Take profits if it gets too overweight in your portfolio.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Pays a regulated return, though buy on a pullback, and it's done a great job growing. AQN is his favourite in this space.

WATCH

AQN-T vs. NPI-T. He likes the sector. It is not a pure utility play. AQN-T has a nice upward trend. They have come off a little bit. They diverged since July. He is looking at whether they will come off a little more. Sept and Oct tend to be the worst performing months.

TOP PICK

Phenomenal managers who've made large acquisitions seamlessly. He's long owned this. They have a $7.5 billion development pipeline of projects. They have a unique partnership with a Spanish company to finance green power and assets there, making a great yield there. They have a lot on the go. Utilities and this stock will do very well during low interest rates. Pays a 4.35% yield. (Analysts’ price target is $17.98)

TOP PICK

Good dividend and fine chart. Exit if it falls below $16.40. He likes where this going. The chart isn't effected by anything in the world, and utilities have been doing well. This could fall back to low-$16's, but the trend should continue up, growing a lot more. (Analysts’ price target is $17.97)

BUY

Another defensive utility besides Fortis Better than Fortis is AQN-T, trading at 16.5x. He sees 14% growth at a reasonable price.

COMMENT

Revenue didn't grow in the last quarter. Issue with Canadian utilities is that they acquired companies and have debt. If they can grow their revenue base, can keep paying back debt. Has been making acquisitions, like in wind power, but must see how the coal to natural gas conversion plays out. It could go sideways.

HOLD

During low interest rates as a safe haven? This time of year, be defensive. Momentum isn't great. Utilities are good. Good year over year revenue growth, which is unusual for a utility. AQN is reaching end of seasonality from mid-May to late-August. It's holding 20/50/200-moving averages. Hold until end of seasonality. Emera and Fortis' seasonality starts in July, so maybe rotate to these.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 26/18, Up 34%) A growth utility. Their U.S. acquisitions are turning out really well. He still likes it. They have a plan of growth and dividend increases nearly 10% for the next five years. Sure, it'll pull back a little in a recession, but the dividend will remain solid.

COMMENT

Dividend on the higher end at 4.65% right now. Impressive growth when it comes to revenue. Not a pure play, they do have some exposure to natural gas. Likes them but doesn't own them. A company that can give you a nice mix with an healthy dividend while still having some room to grow.
