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.
If you look at the history of busts in the oil industry, when there is a bust like we have had you generally don’t see the market bottom and then turn around and take off and not come back. In the 80s once and in the 90s once, oil dropped 68%-69% over a course of about 1 year. In both cases you had an approximate 50% bounce off the bottom, and then the industry had to consolidate for many years to work out excess supply and excess costs. We have had a great bounce in a lot of the stocks, which is given a lot of people an exit opportunity. He would prefer to focus on things that benefit if prices stay relatively low.
