BUY

It is part utility and part infrastructure. It started in Canada and has grown quite rapidly. It meets his criteria.

DON'T BUY

It is a renewable energy company and utility that has had a remarkable run. It has been sought by dividend seekers for its dividend growth. The reason it has sold off is because they have become expensive and there is a rotation into more economically sensitive groups. If the Fed goes into a rate cutting cycle then it will benefit economically sensitive stocks. If you are buying it for the dividend then you will get it as well as dividend growth. He thinks the utility group will have some challenges, however.

TOP PICK

A recession-resilient business that's growing well. It's cheaper than its peers and pays a growing dividend. They have a number or pojects driving growth, which he forecasts at 11% and 10% annual dividend growth, at 16.3x earnings (cheaper than Fortis and Emera). Has a steady payout ratio, so the dividend is safe. The dividend will pay you well in a recession. This is a long-term play on clean energy. (Analysts’ price target is $17.08)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He likes this stock a lot. It has been making higher highs and higher lows. He thinks another intermediate stock rallies about to begin so would be recommending this "risk-on" investment. He would be patient and buy on weakness near $16.

PARTIAL BUY

It's right on $16.68 model price. Good 4.38% yield. This is trading at fair market value, as its peers are overpriced. Buy on a pullback, though you can buy a little now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 11/18, Up 24%) It has good US exposure. Don't expect acquisitions. This will be slow and steady, and the dividend will gradually rise. A good place to be when the interest rate is cut.

HOLD

Why did utilities fall today when the market also went down? This is a renewable, so it's a substitute for energy. Market today had a risk-off sentiment. Doesn't always hold that when rates go down, my interest sensitive stock must always go up. A long-term play, renewables are going to increase. Don't look at the day to day stuff, look at it for 10-20 years.

BUY

He likes this one. They do have cogen. For those that don't mind, it will do very well.

COMMENT

AQN vs NPI Both companies have similar yields -- around 4.9%. He owns both. AQN-T is more US focused. NPI-T is more international. The dividend with AQN-T is paid in US dollars.

HOLD

This interest rate sensitive utility was hurt hard with rising rates last year. As the Central Bank has reduced fears of further rate increases, these stocks have done well. AQN-T has a good balance between generation and distribution businesses. This makes it have more of a growth profile than other utilities in the space. It trades at 17 times earnings and has a 4.5% yield. He will continue to own it.

BUY

AQN vs. Fortis for the next 3 years Likes both, but gives the edge to AQN. AQN will continue to outperformer Fortis, but both are well-run and can deliver higher returns.

BUY

NPI vs. AQN NPI is fine, but she prefers AQN. Nothing wrong with NPI. NPI's recently pullback was due to the CEO dumping a lot of stock on the market, which was a buying opportunity/entry point. AQN has a regulated side in renewable side, pays a good dividend and can growth outside Canada.

STRONG BUY

This chart is fantastic. It's broken to new all-time highs already. A winner.

BUY

Utilities do well in the weaker 6 months of the year--May to October--but they have been are rocketing up outside of the seasonal period.

WATCH

The price did not drop much in December at all. You want to be buying it for the dividend. He is not expecting much upside on the price. It was quite resilient when the rest of the market was falling. It is a utility play and not a yield play.
