This summary was created by AI, based on 10 opinions in the last 12 months.

Emera Inc (EMA-T) is recognized as a solid utility company with strong operational footprints in both Canada and the US, particularly in regions like Nova Scotia and Florida. Analysts appreciate its consistent dividend growth and the favorable regulatory environment in areas of operation. Despite concerns regarding past leverage and payout ratios, current reviews indicate a more stable financial standing, with prospects for growth driven by an increasing customer base and potential solar project expansions in Florida. The stock has seen significant price appreciation but is at all-time highs, making it a bit challenging to enter at current levels. Still, the general sentiment leans towards holding or cautiously accumulating shares due to its reliable income generation capabilities and promising long-term growth.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 25/21, Up 17.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with EMA is progressing well. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $45) to $52 at this time.
COMMENT
Has irreplaceable assets with electrification and there will be growing demand. Has to be bullish on companies that are supplying it. Has ambitious plans and they will raise stock. This is part of the game, however.
HOLD
EMA vs. CU Both are good and highly regulated. EMA is on the east coast, whereas CU is on the west. EMA is like a FTS-light. See his Top Picks for suggestions that are more attractively priced with more capital upside.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 28/20, Up 16%) A good return for a utility. A core part of the portfolio. Electricity demand will double and triple so must have exposure to a company like this.
COMMENT
Now an international operator with their acquisition in Florida. Diversified into natural gas in New Mexico too. A growth international utility. Ultimately, it trades as a utility. Interest rate sensitive. Interest rates going up will limit your upside.
BUY

EMA-T vs. FTS-T. Both companies distribute electricity. He has more FTS-T than EMA-T. You are looking at the growth in the size of the pie as well as the configuration. Both get paid a regulated rate of return. FTS-T has a little more exposure than EMA-T. Both stocks have bounced off the bottom this year. You are going to get dividend growth come to both of these. They are both a very long term hold.

BUY
The utilities have come off recently on the prospects of higher interest rates. They keep growing their dividend, now over 4%. Power demanding will grow in the next five years, and utilities will benefit. They are paid on a regulated basis at set rates. Utilities look very good and are set up to ride this energy increase.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly EMA is an electric generation and transmission company, operating in east coast of Canada, with customers along the US seaboard and New Mexico. Trading at 13x earnings, it is good value compared to its Utility peers at 34x. It pays an excellent dividend, backed by a manageable payout ratio of 65% of cash flow. We would trade this with a stop loss at $45, looking to achieve $62 -- upside potential of over 18%. Yield 4.98% (Analysts’ price target is $61.20)
BUY
Canadian utilities are fantastic to own in a barbell strategy. Safe, with a regulated base. Attractive return over the next 4-5 years. You won't get the pop of other cyclicals, but eventually, it will gain traction. Dividend growth, low volatility. Undemanding valuation.
HOLD
Issue is if interest rates rise, owning utilities will not be great. Rate-based growth of 5-6%. Nothing wrong with the company. Use it as an income device. Dividend around 5%.
BUY

Assets all over NA. Good opportunities in Florida and from a US renewable capex spend. Great choice if you want low volatility, steady dividend, low beta. If you want more torque, consider Boralex and Northland, at higher valuations, and also AY or AQN. Depends on your goals as an investor.

COMMENT
All dividend stocks should continue to benefit from low interest rates. If we see the economic recovery that might come next year, you could see increased demand for stocks like this. If they can't get yields from GICs, people will look to dividend stocks. He can't say specifically if this particular stock will continue to rise.
HOLD

EMA vs. FTS Utility stocks are safe to own in times of fear. Fortis is one of the best managed utilities in Canada, with Emera right behind it. He wouldn't sell if you're holding for income. They'll gradually get back some of the money lost as time goes on.

DON'T BUY
Has a small short on it. It is defensive but it is not cheap for the cashflow it generates. The earnings are 14x EBITA and 1.7x book with 24x price to earning. The yield is healthy at 4.5% but the payout ratio is rising.
HOLD
Good company, hold onto it. Will participate in the energy grid reshaping story in the southern US. Good dividend growth. Yield is 4.5%.
