One of your best names in Canadian energy infrastructure. About 90% of their cash flows come from infrastructure and trades at a premium multiple because of that and is very much warranted. Recent decision to internalize their general partner is very accretive and will help the company free up ownership restrictions. Expects 5% dividend growth every year. 4.76% dividend yield. Target of $27 in 12 months.
Undergoing a significant transition with the buyout of the management contract that was held by an arms length group. Unimpressed by the magnitude of the buyout. Seems like an awful lot of money. Infrastructure is a good place to be, but he is not convinced that this one is the right place. Would prefer Keyera (KEY-T).
This is a great example of owning energy infrastructure. This industry has very good volume growth in front of it. Have a number of projects they are continuing to build. Very steady dividend (4.77% yield) as well as distribution increases. Recently announced they are going to restructure into a corporation, which opens up the shareholder base to US investors. Also, will internalize the management contract of the assets, which will make it a simpler corporate structure and enable them to grow their dividends a little bit faster.
Rule of thumb is that where there is smoke there is fire. Trading was halted. It could be a fat finger trade. He looked at time and sales from 9-9:40 and there were mainly two dealers selling. He doesn’t know what’s going on and the company has said they don’t know either. He things there is foreign forced selling.
