Alexander MacDonald Brookfield Infrastructure LP BIP-N BUY Oct 30, 2023

In the old days, their 5% dividend could protect you, but not now.

Direct infrastructure assets. Inflation linked income. Counter cyclical business. Would be good for the long term investor. Seeing ~8% growth. Will continue to own shares. 

BIP takes a broader view of infrastructure to include data centres and phone towers which are rapidly growing. Mark Carney is leading their energy transition fund, which is a massive opportunity for BIP. He owns many Brookfield companies. 

Excellent business with strong array of assets. Would continue owning shares in company. Not expecting interest rates to affect business too much. Parent company able to fund any projects that are required. Good for long term investors. 

Excellent company with very strong assets. Global suite of assets also very strong. Very deep pockets with corporate sponsors. Assets very hard to replicate. Would recommend as a long term hold. Safe dividend that is good for long term holders. Particularity good for non-taxable investors. 

Really strong organic growth. Very strong investment pipeline. Lots of M&A optionality. Lots of opportunities in data and de-carbonization. Good job this year with capital recycling. Q1 was in line. Not expensive at 8x. He models about 11% AFFO growth. Benefits from the great rotation upon us. Yield of 5+%.

It is in their income portfolio. Data Centre future projects are up 15% a year and it has been successful at raising capital over the long term. The infrastructure business is a big growth area for them and lower interest rates are good for accelerating this type of project. The long term target ROC is 12 to 15% but lately it has been exceeding that with a 15 to 18% ROC. Pays a 5.5% dividend.         Buy 10  Hold 2  Sell 0

Good defensive name. Excellent quarterly results. Very strong organic growth of ~7%. Very good earnings growth expected. A lot of good assets with strong balance sheet. Also has good pipeline of good projects ahead. Dividend very safe with healthy payout ratio. Share price is fair at this time - good time to buy and hold for the long term. 

Likes it. About 10-12% upside analysts' 12-month price targets. Definitely buy it on dips. Brookfield is an exceptional operator in the infrastructure space, a name you want to own. Rate-sensitive, headwinds if rates go up. If Fed is stuck between lowering and raising rates, this is a range-trader.

Up at $45, where it peaked in 2022, he doesn't see the risk/return. Not really a growth play.
