You get paid to wait. Steady compounder. $1.7B in new projects. Inflation-linked cashflows. AFFO growth of 11%, trades at 10.5x. Good one to own amidst all the cross-currents of markets today. A "when" story, not "if". Yield is 4.81%; very safe payout ratio of 56%.
(Analysts’ price target is $60.27)Greg NewmanIt could break out of current levels. They hold a good portfolio. They will likely combine Brookfield and Brookfield Wealth Solutions and combine the infrastructure units which will increase flows.
(Analysts’ price target is $60.27)
Ryan BushellExceptional value for an income name. Trading ~10x FFO, well-covered and reasonable dividend, really strong growth profile.
Chris BlumasLikes push higher on the chart in a new uptrend -- looks poised to challenge and break out to new all-time highs (and that's very bullish). Will play a big part in the very bullish Build Out Canada thesis, big tailwind. Chart looks awesome. Yield is 4.72%.
(Analysts’ price target is $60.06)
Are excellent at recycling capital. Are a utility, but they have one of the most diversified suite of assets, geographically, with business in airports and data centres. Pays a solid 5% dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $60.08)
Rebecca TeltscherThere will be an infrastructure spend, and in fact there's an infrastructure deficit (just drive around the streets of Toronto). Likes the category. Yield is almost 5%.
Why not just pick the parent? It's much more diversified, and you'd get the benefit of all its subsidiaries.
He's selling it. The stock is breaking down. In March, it showed signs of low, retracing a support level, but the chart shows lower lows and lower highs.

If you have any withholding tax in a cash (taxable) account, because the structure is set up not in Canada, you should be able to claim it back on your tax return. So it's better to have in a taxable account than in a TFSA or RRSP, where you can't claim it back.
He owns BN instead.
Seems to trade off on private equity concerns, though there's no direct exposure. Continues to put $$ in at these levels. Oil and nat gas egress stories are still intact.
Ryan BushellFor income. Is undervalued at 10x cash earnings, and a dividend around 4.5% and paying out only half their funds from operation. There's ample growth ahead and trading at discount valuation. Likes it a lot.
Chris BlumasNot a fan of this. They pay a dividend and reinvest capital into new projects, but this makes them dependent on generating capital gains and flipping projects. There's no real free cash flow as you see in a typical utility. Also, they are very interest rate-sensitive; they need to constantly borrow money to develop new projects.
An infrastructure play, and her preference in the utilities space.

As long as we are not in a waterfall, this is a good name. He is seeing 13% from funds operation growth over the next couple of years, from a pending Australian acquisition, growth in Brazil and toll roads in India. One of the problems is that it reports in US$ and only about 25% of their business is in the US, but 75% of their FFO (funds from operations) is hedged over the next 18-25 months to the US$. Has a good dividend which is growing. The kind of a name he would be nibbling on when he feels that the macro is a little more settled.
