This summary was created by AI, based on 11 opinions in the last 12 months.

Fortis Inc. (FTS-T) is highly regarded as one of North America's largest regulated gas and electric utilities, primarily known for its reliability rather than rapid growth. The company has recently shown solid performance with Q4 earnings beating expectations by about 6% and a year-over-year revenue increase of 11%. However, many analysts note that while the dividend yield of approximately 3.4% to 3.8% is appealing, the expected growth of dividends is modest, projected at 3-4% annually. With a substantial capital plan of $26 billion through 2029 aimed at increasing the rate base by 6.5%, Fortis is considered a sound long-term investment, especially for income-focused investors. Experts suggest waiting for a price pullback before initiating new positions, as the stock is currently trading near its 52-week high.

TOP PICK

Fortis is building transmission lines to renwewable energy which will de-carbonize their fleet and attract more ESG investment. Renewable energy is big and getting bigger. Fortis shares tend to swing within a range, so pick it up below $60 and watch it ride higher. It currently trades just above $60. The current EPS of $2.65 is double the industry average. Its PE of 22.9x is below the average of 35.1x, but higher than its own forward PE of 20.04x. Fortis is close to fair value now, though recently TD, BMO, Scotiabank and RBC targeted $62-65 for the name. Again, own this for income.

DON'T BUY
It has risen up to its intrinsic value so not much left in the stock.
WEAK BUY
Excellent for retirement. He doesn't own it in favour of better opportunities, which carry higher risk. 35 years of increasing dividends. Dividend will continue to grow, but not massive capital appreciation. Depends what kind of investor you are.
TOP PICK

Half of earnings comes from the US. An income stock. A core holding for her. Pays a 3.5% dividend. Has a long track of increasing that dividend, 6% annually through 2025. Will benefit from greening assets into renewables in the deacade to come. (Analysts’ price target is $59.14)

BUY

They have a high degree of confidence in their ability to adapt to changing demands and preferences. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Looking at a 10-year chart, the stock tends to peak right at FMV, which it did recently, and now it's on the way down. Tends to bottom at $48. Wait for it. Regular as a German railway timetable.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 18/21, Up 15%) It remains a longtime holding, a core income stock that pays 6% which is safe and will increase annually through 2025. A capital plan will support that. They will build transmission lines to renewable energy sources and help de0carbonize their fleet. She'd buy it for income.
BUY
Great company. Electricity, nat gas, biomass. Growth algorithm involves a spend of 22-24B, a lot of money. Regulated rate base. Target growth in dividends is about 6%. Good line of sight to 10% return with very low risk. Well managed. Buy it here comfortably.
BUY
Good dividend grower, close to 4% yield. 6% compound growth rate, which gives you good line of sight to double-digit total return potential. A name you want to think about right now. 12 months from now, growth will be slowing. Steady, consistent growers will be more in focus.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 04/20, Up 11%) He continues to buy this. They've had nearly 5 decades of dividend increases, so it's an attractive total return over time. He still buys this. You can buy this and forget about it. It's one of the best-run companies in the world. He likes the outlook for electric utility given the future of e-cars and the greening of the power grid.
BUY
Still a solid long-term hold? One of those stocks in his portfolio he doesn't look at too often. 48 straight years of dividend increases. Pretty good line of sight to mid-single dividend growth out to 5, 10, 15, 20 years. As long as dividend keeps up with inflation, stock should also keep up. Cross-currents with rising rates, but long bonds are dropping and that's where utilities are focused. Extremely high quality, and you have to pay for it. Buying for new clients.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 14/20, Up 7%) Income stock, so not expecting double digit gains. Buy it for the yield of around 4%. Growing yield of 6% annually. Greening their fleet. Highly defensive.
BUY
Great assets. Good solid company, so he'd have no problems with it at all. He prefers something like ENB.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. One of the best buy and forget income stocks. The dividend increase history is very impressive and it is in a regulated industry. The company is well managed. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 11/20, Up 11%) Defensive. Visible cashflow. Income story, not a growth story. Yield is 3.5%, not the absolute highest but still attractive. Company anticipates growing dividend at 6% through 2025. Green economy will benefit them.
