TSE:IPL
Not a cheap stock on an earnings basis, as it is trading into the 20X earnings now. There is still opportunity for growth in those earnings as some of their projects dealing with the oil sands area come to fruition over the next 2-3 years. They have also enjoyed the benefit earlier in the year of converting from a limited partnership to a dividend corporation. Has been a steady dividend grower. Not looking for huge capital appreciation.
In this market, with all the uncertainties and potential frothiness, he wants something that is going to deliver almost 100% certitude long-term dividend growth. Given the structure of its 4 businesses, and its major growth area of taking diluent up to Fort McMurray and then shipping back down the oil sands product, that is where its growth has been. They have wonderful 20 year contracts. Risk to cash flow is minimal. Have increased dividends significantly in the last year or 2 and looking out 5, 10, 15 years they will continue to do so. Looking for a total return of 14% in the next year and has a target price of $28.
Very well run company. Just recently did a conversion from an LP to a corporation, which he feels is a good thing. Have a lot of good, big projects that will add cash flow going forward. Feels there is better growth in this than in the larger names. Smaller projects and more manageable. His target would be high $20-low $30.
Sees really good growth for the next 3 years, both from oil sands and conventional pipelines. As good as that growth is, at these levels it is probably priced in. Thinks they will be having more competition coming from Enbridge (ENB-T) and Pembina (PPL-T). His target price is $27. If you own, sell Calls. 4.9% dividend yield.
This will continue to give a pretty decent dividend. There is certainly a lot of room for dividend growth. There is a significant increase in conventional and unconventional oil/gas production in Canada and the US. They will benefit from this. Specifically they have good exposure to rising oil sands production because they have pipelines to haul it. They also have some good European exposure. Thinks you can expect dividend growth every year out of this company for the next 3-5 years. FV is $28-$29. 5% dividend yield
