Stock price when the opinion was issued
Owns in his balanced fund for income. Strong long-term performer. Hopefully will benefit from more LNG buildouts. Oil & gas prices are decent. In the face of lower interest rates, offers stable dividend without much regulatory concern.
Hard to tell if it will go higher, as it's not a high-growth company. Perhaps expect 8-10% long-term growth with dividends. One of the best infrastructure names in Canada.
Always felt it didn't get the credit it deserved. Great business. If Canada wants to be able to better defend itself on the global stage, perhaps it should bring more of the value chain within its borders instead of sending every oil and gas molecule south of the border. This company would have billions to deploy on projects if returns met its hurdle rate.
Betwixt and between, which makes it hard to call. Right up against quite strong technical resistance, and right at FMV. Good things have to happen, such as earnings and visibility of earnings. Unless you can see those, be very cautious about taking a position.
If it could bust through $46, that would be good, particularly if the price of energy also moves up to support it.
Interest-sensitive pipelines have all had a rough time. He owns ENB.
These companies have great assets that aren't going away. CEOs of these companies feel it's difficult to do business in Canada. ENB, for example, is dedicating all its capital to the US. That's going to be the strategy if these companies want to grow.
Good time to buy. Though rates aren't going down as quickly as people think, they're not going up from here. That's the value proposition. Over the next 6-9 months or so, rates will come down at the short end and the yield curve will look differently. These companies will benefit from that.
