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.

There may be a bit of a sector rotation with lower demand for oil due to a renewed spike in Covid cases. Supply is still constrained and if demand goes back up, there will be a reversal in price. A decent area to buy for the long-term. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free
Put in a TFSA? A top pick. You can put it in a TFSA as long as you're diversified across sectors, like real estate and industrials. He likes the nat gas business in western Canada and KEY should do relatively well; nat gas is key for Keyera. Doesn't expect this company to do anything exciting, just maintain its business. This will be a $30 stock, but KEY suspended a billion-dollar infrastructure project and are competing in this area with Pembina. With the new CEO, what is the strategy? A question mark. The stock now is still cheap enough given all that.
Keyera vs. Pembina He owns both. Keyera: pays a slightly higher dividend, but also slightly riskier, due to its mix of liquids and gas processing, so probably more earnings volatility short-term. Pembina is a pipeline play with operating cash flow around 9-10x. They were resilient in the downturn. What's good about both is that they are sensitive to volumes, not the oil price, especially Pembina. The dividends are safe and earnings resilient. If the stocks do nothing, at least both pay more than 8% in dividend yields.
