Javed Mirza Hydro One H-T PAST TOP PICK Dec 24, 2024

Great company and business. Trading at 18x. Growing at peer average. Better names in sector to own. Would recommend holding. 

Benefitting from more immigration to Ontario. A predictable utility that'll grow 5% annually, so just collect the dividend. Shares won't do much. It's a slow-growing business. But Fortis and Emera pay higher dividends.

It's a Hold, not a Sell, because there don't seem to be a lot of reasons for it to go down. Catching a tailwind as a bond proxy with bonds in rally mode. Good and safe dividend, will probably grow, well supported by cashflow. Well managed. Not a Buy, as there are better ideas. He owns FTS instead, as it's larger and more diversified.

Rising interest rates putting pressure on stock. Company uses substantial debt. Analyst estimates very broad. Would recommend waiting to buy when share price falls. Share price not low enough. Good company, with stable earnings - just not priced correctly. 

The stock chart is presenting opportunity to break out. Technical pattern is great for investors. "Higher lows" indicating a new high for the stock price. Doesn't believe rate hikes will occur - good tailwind for the business. Boring business that is good for shareholder value. 

Hydro One is too expensive to buy here. QBR.B is in a very challenged space with the 4 well-capitalized players. Whole telecom industry is cheap, QBR.B will work over time, decent dividend.

Gun to the head, he'd pick QBR.B. No gun, putting capital into a dividend stock for 3-5 years, he'd pick neither and put money into MFC instead utilizing the Canadian dividend tax credit.

Trades at a higher PE than its peers, but they execute very well. Shares continue to grind higher.

Very stable. Most assets are in Ontario, whereas she likes diversification of jurisdiction. Traditionally Ontario has not been the best regulator, and it's at the mercy of just that one regulator. Prefers EMA.

Likes it. Decent pullback. US tariffs may not be positive for a stock like this, but let's just wait till January 20 to see what happens. Decent surplus of electricity in Ontario, which can impact prices to the downside. If you foresee volatility and lower interest rates, not a bad choice.

Not a growth stock. Pays a dividend, but not the highest. Stable company.
