As of Aug 13, 2026. Market Open.
Yield is a bit lower than some of the others. Results were largely in line, market reaction may just be due to whipsawing from Iran war. As well, not immediately proceeding with an expansion. Still a very good name, though he owns PPL for its size and growth.
Any of Canada's 4 major pipelines are good investments for the long term.
Pipelines are not quite as good as utilities for safety, because they're perceived as being commodity-sensitive (even though they're really not). This name will give you a good dividend and safety. You'll get your dividend, and the safety means you can sleep at night (and that's worth something). You can get diversification via funds and ETFs.
Likes it, great business. Performing really well. Incredibly strong management. Only negative is that, in general, securities with higher dividends and lower growth are not leading this market.
Risk/reward is good. Energy sector is relatively early on in a longer-term bull phase. Some inflation protection. Yield is 5%.
Has been an income stock for her for many years. Is the biggest pipeline company in the world while their renewable business is growing. Wars are pushing governments to secure energy supplies. They serve 75% of refineries in the US Gulf Coast. Canada wants to build more energy infrastructure. Both are tailwinds. But we need to see higher production growth from energy products and Indigenous support for new pipelines. Pays a 5.3% dividend that keeps growing.
(Analysts’ price target is $76.85)Given that we're relatively early-stage in a Canadian O&G bull market, he'd lean toward energy infrastructure. Don't have to look much further than this name.
Exceedingly disciplined at making investments. Beneficiary of the capital spending cycle in energy. Yield is 5%, growing at low single digits every year.
The market has been too hard on them. Large pipelines in the US have come down a lot. There is a general concern their suppliers of oil might go bankrupt. There is a concern that they can’t fund projects. He disagrees with all of that. They have a deep line of sight into where their business comes from. You look at free cash flow growth and the yield on that is about 10% so they can grow the dividend in the low to mid-teens.
