TSE:ENB
Really good dividend. Yield companies have fallen as interest rates have gone up, real headwind. Reasonable valuation. More expensive than TRP, but with a better growth rate. 5% EPS growth, 15x 2025, boosted dividend. Don't add right now. A name like this can give you defensive qualities if markets go bust, as ENB probably won't do down that much from here.
Lots of debt, which the company has indicated it's going to reduce, which means slower dividend growth over time. Yield is 7.6%.
FTS is less levered. For a pure income play compared to ENB, he'd choose this one.
His favourite play in the entire sector is TRP. Less levered than ENB. Healthy dividend yield, with more room for growth. More room for growth in general.
Largest pipeline operator in North America. ~7% yield very strong. Expected to continue growing dividend. Recent weakness in energy prices reason for share price weakness. Assets very valuable as hard to replicated. Pause and/or falling interest rates will be good for business. Good for income oriented investors.
He doesn't think a 5% weighting in a stock is crazy, it's very reasonable. If you have a lot of conviction in those companies, then that's where your weighting should be. Yield is around 7%. Won't reduce the dividend unless something really terrible happens. Extremely mature company, will grow with GDP plus or minus, highly levered.
Investors own for the dividend. He wouldn't overweight his portfolio with it, but makes sense for a certain demographic.
Difficult couple of years with interest rates. Big acquisition required issuing equity and taking on debt. Acquisition needs to be integrated, but they're pros at that. Diversifies its business. Stock's bounced back since then. No problem maintaining dividend. Becoming more US-focused, Canada's regulations make things too difficult.
Very inexpensive. High dividend yields and, as a Canadian company, gives you the dividend tax credit. Opportunistic acquisitions last year in a higher-rate environment gave them about a 50/50 split between oil and gas pipelines. Simpler story than TRP, similar valuation, and better growth.
