Keyera Corp (KEY-T) has garnered mixed reviews from various experts, with the overall sentiment leaning toward a cautiously optimistic view. The stock is recognized for its stable cash flows and the potential for growth, particularly following its recent acquisition, which some believe will hedge marketing exposure risks. While some analysts point to a probe into this acquisition as a significant concern, others highlight the company's strong fundamentals and ongoing demand within the LNG sector. Despite its higher valuation compared to peers, experts acknowledge its growth prospects and the embedded catalysts that could drive future performance. However, caution is advised due to market exposure, particularly related to fluctuating oil prices, leading to a variety of perspectives on the stability of its dividend and overall investment appeal.
The Bull case for this is that it is a company with very long visibility on their revenue. They have “take or pay” contracts with customers, so looking out you could see what was coming. The downside is that it wears the halo of energy, so realistically while they are much more predictable than a producer, service company or an equipment company, there is concern. Doesn’t think the dividend is at risk in the near term, but the longer the weakness in energy goes on, the less patience investors may have.
Well-run company in a sector that has been beaten up. You don’t want the $70 range to be violated. If you are looking to get in, the 1st place he would look is around the $70 range. This is one of the best performers in this space. Excellent dividend. Wait for it to test the $70 range or wait until you start to see it move up.
Exceptionally well-run. This is more of a processor so is less exposed to the energy price shock, but not completely unexposed. They have contracts with their gas production companies, who have to pay them whether they deliver fuel or not for processing. Well financed. Have some big growth projects that they may delay because of what is going on, but he doesn’t think so.
A very high quality, midstream company. There has been some volatility recently because of commodity prices. For the most part, Canadian midstream companies, as opposed to the US MLPs, are in excellent shape. Canadian producers tend to be well capitalized and he is not worried about them honouring those “take or pay” commitments that underpin these companies. This is a great buy.
Has been beaten up similar to other pipelines. They have no exposure to crude oil. He thinks it has been a victim of a sector wide sell-off. Favourable management team and some of the best assets in the space. 6-8% dividend growth and in 2017/8 he thinks the space may consolidate and they would be a good takeout candidate.
You can buy an energy stock or you can buy the nuts and bolts. The nuts and bolts are infrastructure names such as companies like this. This is a toll road business and the company gets 70% of its business from a fee to service type operation, gathering and processing natural gas. Only about 5% of its cash flow is dependent on commodity prices. Doesn’t know why it is down so much, so he has been adding it to his portfolios. Yield of 3.3%.
Stocks pull back naturally, but what you want to avoid is them reversing direction. This one, over the last 4 years, had a very steady series of higher highs and higher lows. Has pulled back recently but the chart did not reverse lower. A great company in its space. There will be great dividend growth going forward.
Likes this company. Great management team. Not a cheap stock. Has performed quite well, but it is expensive. Given where commodity prices are now, you could see some uncertainty here with the projects they are developing. At a certain point you can build and create the pipelines or facilities, but if the producers aren't able to pay them effectively, you're not going to be able to put anything through there. If you've had some good profits in this, it wouldn’t be bad to take some off the table.
(Market Call Minute) There is not all that upside left for them.
