Keyera Corp (KEY-T) has received mixed reviews from experts, highlighting various strengths and concerns. Many analysts praise the company's positioning within the energy infrastructure space, particularly emphasizing its growth potential from the Plains acquisition and increasing demand for LNG and condensate in Western Canada, resulting in an Earning Per Share (EPS) growth of 23% and dividend growth of 4%. Despite these positive aspects, some experts express caution regarding its valuation, citing an 18.3x price-to-earnings ratio for 2028 as relatively expensive when compared to peers. Concerns also arise from the dependency on commodity prices and the risks associated with execution and ongoing capital expenditures. Notably, the stock is viewed favorably for its stable cash flows, but skepticism remains regarding the marketing segment, which is subject to volatility.
Probably has one of the best management teams in the industry. This is a tougher business model to get your head around, because they have a very integrated footprint between terminals and condensates. Just announced a 50% $330 million project with Kinder Morgan (KMI-N). Also, have a joint venture with Enbridge (ENB-T). They do have liberal volume risks on their gas processing plants, but he thinks they can navigate that.
A very well run mid stream company. A lot of the assets are backed by multiyear contracts signed with very strong reputable companies. A Great way to produce sustainable growth and dividends. The company is relatively conservative of how they have done growth through their balance sheet. They are going through a very large capital expenditure program. It got to a price and earnings multiple level was quite high. It has fallen back down to where he likes it. Stock split scheduled shortly.
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%.
