Fortis Inc. (FTS-T) is recognized as a solid utility investment, particularly appealing for income-focused investors due to its reliable dividend, which is projected to grow over the coming years. Analysts highlight the company's core utility operations, underscored by a substantial $26 billion capital plan aimed at increasing its rate base by 6.5% annually through 2029. While Fortis is not perceived as an exciting growth stock, its expected total returns in the range of 8-10% annually make it a durable option in the utility sector. The company is strategically positioned, with a significant portion of its earnings derived from U.S. regions poised for data center expansions. Analysts generally advise patience for potential pullback opportunities before initiating new buys, reflecting a cautious yet favorable outlook for long-term investors.

PARTIAL SELL
It's done very well this year. But as an interest-sensitive stock, they've all fed off a massive decline of bond yields. He will sell a bit of this. The dividend isn't high enough for him.
COMMENT

Sell 25% of his telecoms and utilities like Fortis, and buy REITs? It's a good plan to diversify. Summit REIT is good. The utilities like Emera, Fortis and NPI-T are great stocks to own now--they're regulated, earnings growth backed in and the multiples are reasonable. They still have upside, and so do the REITs.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 09/18, Up 33%) When he recommended it, there was volatility. You get a dividend, but also growth. Interest rates moving down, the REITs and utilities have performed well. Doesn't own it anymore since the stock grew so well. Good for income investors.
HOLD
He would call this a hold right here. He does not own it. Along with capital growth, he expects an annual return over 7%. A safe company. Yield 3.5%
TOP PICK
A boring stock. Has raised its dividend 46 years in a row, plus the stock has gone up. A steady eddy. It won't miss a beat in a recession. It's the opposite of volatile and steady eddy. (Analysts’ price target is $54.17)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 16/18, Up 26%) Diversified across several regulatory fronts in the US in power generation and origination. Well financed. Well valued. He continues to hold it. Yield 3.5%.
HOLD
The chart looks great and has had a good run since start-2018. Don't sell it. If you trade, sell half.
BUY
It trades at a discount to US peers. Returns in Canada are lower than in the US. They have 40 years of consecutive dividend growth.
HOLD
He does not own this as there are only so many he can hold. This is a growth utility that has executed well on its strategy. A good stock to own. Yield 3.4%.
SELL
It is well above the 200-day moving average. It is going to correct. If you want to collect the dividend is OK but if you are a growth investor you should sell.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 08/18, Up 31%) A boring utility company, but the change in interest rates allowed this to soar. A very defensive holding with a stable cash flow stream. The company has projects in place and interests in the US. Cash flow is projected to grow for the next 5 years. Yield 3.5%
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 22/19, Up 5%) Been on an uptrend since January. It's making a new high. Buy it--it'll keep making new highs, but if interest rates rise, you don't want to own utilities.
PARTIAL SELL
It had a nice run on lower interest rates and the safe haven status. It is probably a better time to take some profits than to buy in. But don't get rid of all your utilities. This is a good time to take some money off the table.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 06/18, Up 31%) Has pulled back profits, based on valuation vs. where he thinks rates will be in the next 6-8 months. Benefits from lower interest rates.
BUY
Top choice for a utility stock in Canada. Skilled at making acquisitions. Longest run, with Canadian Utilities, of raising dividends for over 40 consecutive years. Safe and steady, though upside may not be as high as some others. As long as you're prepared to hold for the long term. Yield is 3.6%.
