Brookfield Infrastructure PartnersBIP.UN.TOBUY ON WEAKNESSOct 17, 2025Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Sep 25, 2026. Market Open.
There is a big Investment Summit going on in Toronto today and tomorrow. Brookfield Infrastructure will be a part of it since it is a big supplier of capital. It has already made a big investment in Western Canada and has a good international portfolio. Pays a 5% dividend. It is one of his favourite holdings and he is adding.
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)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.
Likes that BN continues to source deals for them to do. Well run. Lots of infrastructure opportunities to support both energy and data centres.
Best to put in a registered account if you can. (There's a chance in the future that the Brookfield structure gets harmonized, this stock should pop, and a registered account will protect any upside.) It'll also protect the higher yield along the way.
