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

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.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 03/20, Up 12%) Favourite if you want steady income, no surprises. Has lagged the broader market and riskier utilities. He likes it for the purposes it serves: sustainable dividend yield, continued growth of rate base at 5-7 per year, 48 years of consecutive dividend growth. Excellent candidate for RRSPs and for dividend income.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Be cautious putting money into utilities right now, unless you need the income. With the call on cyclicals, you might get some better opportunities to add to those names. As rates move higher, typically those stocks sell off. In Canada, FTS is world class, 5% earnings and dividend growth, predictable 10% return.
BUY

A boring company. It raises dividends every year with a yield at 3.25%. Doesn't go up that much. Could get a return of 6-7% which is tax preferred, it could be a good fixed income substitute. Fortis and Emera are good for steady earners. Yield will keep going up.

WAIT
One of the best diversified conglomerate utilities on the TSX. Has owned in the past, and sees owning again when his portfolio gets more defensive, but probably not this year. Predictable business model. Excellent consistency of earnings, good dividend growth. Right now, better opportunities with the strong economy.
BUY

EMA-T vs. FTS-T. Both companies distribute electricity. He has more FTS-T than EMA-T. You are looking at the growth in the size of the pie as well as the configuration. Both get paid a regulated rate of return. FTS-T has a little more exposure than EMA-T. Both stocks have bounced off the bottom this year. You are going to get dividend growth come to both of these. They are both a very long term hold.

HOLD
Not a lot of growth potential, though it expects to grow its dividend over the next 5 years by 6%. Won't be a huge outperformer. Utilities are seasonal right now, and tend to perform well here. Very defensive, so if markets tank, FTS won't participate as much on the downside. A pretty good buy here. Yield is about 3.6%.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 03/20, Up 8%) Low-beta, low-volatility with stable earnings diversified across North America. Boasts long dividend growth of 47 years. FTS won't give you huge spikes up nor deep plunges. It's a steady income earner.
