Fortis Inc. (FTS-T) is recognized as one of the largest regulated gas and electric utilities in North America, with a solid reputation for reliability and long-term income generation. The company's Q4 earnings surpassed expectations by approximately 6%, with a notable year-on-year revenue increase of 11%. Fortis is embarking on an ambitious $26 billion capital plan through 2029, aiming for a compounding growth rate base of 6.5%. Its dividend yield of around 3.5% has consistently seen annual growth, making it a credible option for income-focused investors. However, some experts view it more as a bond proxy with limited growth potential, favoring alternative investments with better diversification or growth prospects.

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.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 13/20, Up 5%) She's been buying more during this pullback. They plan on growing their 4% dividend 6% annually through 2025. FTS boasts a defensive cash-flow stream. It's a solid utility, paying a steady stream of increasing dividends. She's long held this as a key holding. It was a great stock to hold during the March 2020 panic sell.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 17/20, Up 6%) The changes within the energy space will benefit Fortis, which has made good steps in ESG to attract ESG investors. This is a long-term hold and pays a fine dividend. He advocates holding utilities for their safe revenues and dividends as we enter this reopening. It will take longer than many expect for world economies to return to previous levels, so utilities are positive in this light.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It is good, not great. Good companies can have a place in your portfolio. They don't have the return metrics he is looking for. Much of their activities are regulated and he likes that. They are a steady payer of dividends.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 05/20, Down 5%) It has been growing its dividend for 47 years and should grow by 6% into 2024. You should be in this company if you want to be in the utility sector. If we see interest rates pull back then he would expect this one to do quite well. He would expect rates to pull back in May.

BUY

Continues to buy for new clients. Very attractively priced here. Defensive with regulated cashflow. Increasing their dividends 6% annually through 2025. Bond yields are still very low so she is not concerned. The market has focused on cyclical recovery plays and neglected defensive stocks. A good time to buy when it is out of favour for steady dividends.

BUY

In an unloved sector, but this offers a fine dividend yield with upside. Emera, too. If the TSX moves upward, then FTS will underperform, but if we move sideways, this stock will do relatively well in comparison. Also, very cold weather like now helps these utilities. A boring, but core name. All told, this should return you 8-10%.

BUY

For a retirement portfolio. Something like a Fortis gives you a stable yield for a retirement portfolio. Could also do a barbell approach, with some PPL and some Fortis, or another high-quality Canadian utility, to limit the volatility.
