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.
Historically these have been great assets to own. They will follow energy stocks in general too. He prefers to own KEY over PPL. There have been concerns about insolvencies with producers in the energy space with low oil prices. He has added more to their KEY holdings, thinking the natural gas space is safer than oil right now. He would own a couple of holdings in a diversified way.
This is a midstream company that takes natural gas and extracts liquids for octane enhancers and other valuable liquids, while taking a toll from the energy producers. He thinks 30% of their total decline is their association to the energy sector. The other portion of the share decline is related to perceived counter-party credit risk -- will their customers be able to pay them. They have strategic assets in Alberta and we know it is harder to do business in energy in Canada. He is still holding this for now, just be careful of how much exposure you have with the mid-stream companies these days. They do not have a debt problem, so the dividend looks safe for this year he thinks. Yield 9.6%
He likes it--slower growth, higher yield, something to hold onto for the long term. Its valuation is lower than its peers. Its debt is lower than ENB-T's. The dividend pays over 6%. Not flashy and it's boring, but you want something safe like this. Oil itself swings to extremes though millennials and ESG will stay away from energy long-term.
