This summary was created by AI, based on 13 opinions in the last 12 months.

Fortis Inc. (FTS-T) is widely viewed as a reliable utility stock, characterized by a long history of consistent dividend growth at a modest rate of around 3.3% annually. However, the prospects for significant capital appreciation seem limited, with most analysts expecting total returns to be in the range of 5-12% over the long term. While the stock is praised for its stability and minimal risk, some experts caution that it may not deliver high returns compared to more aggressive investments, especially in a changing market environment. A few analysts highlight the current valuation concerns, suggesting a wait for a potential pullback to lower price levels before entering. Overall, experts agree on its merits as a core holding for income-focused investors, particularly those looking for defense against market volatility.

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.

(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%

(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.

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.

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%.

Emera vs Fortis Utilities have done quite well after a weak 2018. These are not sexy growth stories, but they will let you sleep at night and pay a good, rising dividend.

Likes both, but gives the edge to AQN. AQN will continue to outperformer Fortis, but both are well-run and can deliver higher returns.

COMMENT

Fortis Inc.(FTS.TO)

Apr 11, 2019
He bought it last October and has been pleased with it. The competitive dividend grows 6% yearly. It's an extremely low-risk business because most of the revenue comes from regulated utility rates, thus protected from market ups and downs. They grow by acquisition and is now one of North America's largest utilities. He may sell (part of) it on valuation if the shares run by dramatically but unlikely with a utility.

Problem is, Fortis has shot up in price, like all dividend stocks. It's been raising its dividend for 40 years. He'd rather buy Keyera or Pembina which offers more growth. But definitely hold FTS if you own it.

(A Top Pick Aug 09/18, Up 19%) At the time, the sector was undervalued, so this and others like AQN-T have since really moved up. It was a way to get income, but he also saw growth in FTS. He recently sold it after it reached his price target. Their growth outlook stretches several years and it pays a fine dividend. Growth will continue in this space.

Late cycle you want to own utilities and defensive names. Looks fantastic on a chart, just picked it up. Nice breakout to new highs. A high usually produces new highs eventually. Could also look at XLU or TransAlta. Nice little dividend, tidy company. Good, reasonable hold for quite a while. Yield is 3.61%. (Analysts’ price target is $50.53)

Which utility to buy? Utilities have recently done well with a rotation to safety (like telcos). He likes Fortis, but it's trading at a 52-week high, so wait for a pullback, unless you have a 10-year horizon.
