As of Aug 14, 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.
Energy infrastructure is the largest over-weight in his portfolio, because production of both oil and natural gas in North America has doubled in the last 5-10 years. Not only has production doubled, but it is going completely in the opposite way that it used to. We built all these regasification terminals on the East and West Coasts to bring in LNG. We built all these oil offloading terminals on the Gulf Coast to take oil into the Midwest to refine it, and now oil is going the complete opposite way, as is natural gas for export. This creates a tremendous opportunity for these infrastructure companies. They are undertaking the largest capital project in their history with the line 3 replacement.
