As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
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.
Not 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.
(Note the short timeframe.) Its assets are the backbone that keep the global economy moving forward. Predictable income and strong downside prediction amidst current market uncertainty. Should continue to do well. Expanded data centre platform. Record asset sales for capital recycling.
Dividend increased ~6% for 17th consecutive year. Sees ~15% price upside from here.
His price target is $41 USD, so about 14% north of where we are today; combine that with 5% distribution growth, and there's your return. Bit of softness last quarter in midstream and transfers, but Q3 was solid in data and utilities.
Great growth pipeline, including acquisitions. Inflation-linked revenues as far as the eye can see. Reasonable 10x PE for 2027 and 15% growth. Nice dividend, which grows, and 91% payout ratio. Right now, one of his favourites in the Brookfield stable for risk/reward.
