BUY ON WEAKNESS
Line 5 issues? They have been in the news a lot lately. An anchor became dislodged on their Eastern portion, but a judge forced an injunction to shut down the western section as well. On Canada Day, the western portion was allowed to reopen. Line 5 is only 2.5% of the companies EBITDA, so it won't make or break the company. But it is just another example of regulatory interference. From a fundamental perspective not a big issue. He is underweight energy, but would be a buyer in a sub-$40 range.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 17/19, Down 4%) It is one of his favourites in the group. It is the most miss-understood because they are involved in so many markets. They are well contracted and in a strong liquidity position. He would continue to hold it. He would be surprised to see a dividend cut.
BUY
US pipeline issues? We own ENB and have for a few years. Lower oil prices impacted their business, but they are financially sound. Over 95% of their capacity is contracted. Some lower production out of western Canada may impact short term earnings. Eventually Line 3 will be completed and Line 5 will be refurbished. With a yield above 7%, it is an attractive hold.
BUY
It is down more than you'd expect in a recession, due to the oil price. They reconfirmed their outlook for the year. They have been able to find cost cutting opportunities. He thinks this is the time to buy it. It is a really safe way to take advantage of the recovery.
HOLD

Preferred H shares? The preferreds are yielding about 9%. This was issued at $25 originally with a yield just over 4%. Buying at $11.50 affords the high yield. It will reset in 2023, around 2.5% based on current interest rates (versus the 4% it was originally issued at). If interest rates go up in 2023 the yield will increase, but do investors think rates will be that much higher?

BUY

IPL-T vs. ENB-T. IPL-T is a mid-carrier. It moves between facilities. ENB-T is international and moves between Canada and the US. ENB-T also owns a local gas utility in Southern Ontario. He owns ENB-T because it is a higher quality company and has bigger projects that are somewhat deferred due to environmental assessments. The dividend is stable and was not at risk.

BUY
Target buy and sell price? ENB has one of the highest dividend yields of any Canadian company. He thinks dividend growth may moderate or even pause. There are more hearings on Line 3 and they have been very contentious. He wants to see that resolved with shovels in the ground. At current levels, and assuming we don't have another major down move on oil prices, this could be a good buy here. Their infrastructure can not be replicated. Yield 7%
COMMENT

ENB vs TRP? He believes having one of these holdings is key to your portfolio. It is getting harder to put pipe in the ground, so existing assets are valuable. He owns ENB, due to the amount of oil they move and the pricing power they have with tolls.

BUY
Payout ratio of 65%. Very attractive compared to bonds. A reasonable investment opportunity. The dividend appears to be safe. Yield 7.3%
TOP PICK
One of the largest oil and natural gas distributors on the continent. He likes their ability to survive and be resilient through cycles. Each time they have been able to consistently maintain their dividend. It is a lower risk way of playing the oil and gas business. It is a toll business. He thinks the 7% dividend is safe. (Analysts’ price target is $52.70)
BUY
He took a position in ENB back in late-March around its lows. The dividend is attractive. There is some negative news regarding their Line 3 project as it may be coming under renewed review by the US state regulatory body. It looks good here he thinks. He would be a buyer here.
COMMENT

Dividends safe? Regulated businesses stand a better chance to keep dividends whole. BCE and ENB are both regulated entities. Canadian banks have had a history of not cutting dividends, but you never know. It will depend on how long COVID lasts -- if we are still locked down next year, he would be a seller.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 25/19, Up 4%) He still owns this and likes to recommend it as Top Pick.
TOP PICK
You get a low risk business model. It has performed well in previous market down turns. It trades at 9 times cash flow with only a 70% payout ratio on the dividend. Yield 7.39% (Analysts’ price target is $52.84)
COMMENT
ALA was just upgraded by his firm. It has 55% of their earnings from regulated utility activities. If you are looking to sleep better at night, ENB has a less risky business model. Their risk is from growth being halted with recent pipeline protests.
