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.

DON'T BUY
All the companies in the space are attractively valued right now, and he would prefer to look elsewhere for better opportunities. A potential takeover candidate. There are better companies with better risk to reward.
BUY
Stock's off on an announcement about a plant shutdown. Dividend is well covered. There is worry about the sustainability of investing in energy. KEY is a processor of energy. Yield is 9.5%, which gives you your money back in 5 years. Well run. Confidence in the company. Good as income for clients who can take a little bit of risk.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 14/19, Down 17%) Still a core holding for them. The nervousness is in their natural gas business. Gas supply is now on a better footing. A high quality infrastructure business.
BUY
Got hit in the general selloff. It's in the cyclical/infrastructure bucket. Challenge is it's just coming off the bottom on price momentum. Scores well on valuation, yield, and ROE. Payout ratio is a bit high at 89%. Would like to see more cash flow. Lots of debt. Should start to see some pickup as the oil patch improves. Yield is 8%.
DON'T BUY
He thinks the company is paying out too much cash flow to dividends. Cash flow is $1.29 yet they are paying out $1.92. With the collapse of oil the stock price has collapsed as well. So much depends on if you are bullish on oil. Commodity forecasting is something he does not do. The balance sheet is not very strong for this one.
BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks This midstream player extracts liquids from natural gas, a commodity which is safer than oil. Keyera currently pays a whopping 9.5% dividend yield, so the obvious question is, Is it safe? Bay Street thinks so. Read Best Dividend Stocks Canada for our full analysis.
TOP PICK
Offers stable earnings and pays over a 9% dividend. Volumes in natural gas remain steady, though Keyera had to switch some processing facilities. Good balance sheet compared to peers; lower valuation and good cash flow. They're growing and pay a good dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $25.79)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Payout ratio sustainable? A name he has owned for many years. Very talented management team. They have diverted capex, improved liquidity and refinanced debt, so he does not think the dividend is at risk. He also does not think it will grow much over the next couple of years. A long term investor would see this as an excellent investment. Short term, there will likely be more uncertainty regarding economic recovery. The payout ratio is estimated at 80%. Yield 9.33%
COMMENT

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.

HOLD

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%

DON'T BUY

It's about balance sheet and fear of loss of clients. It's more at risk in an environment like this. This one will struggle. The ones that are safe would be ENB, TRP, PPL, GEI.

BUY
Sell Hudbay to buy Keyera? As for Keyera, it's an apples and oranges talk--very different companies. But Keyera is a stronger company financially, so it'd be an uptrade.
BUY
When you look at the midstream space today, they are positioned very well in terms of growth opportunities out to 2022. He thinks you are getting a cheaper valuation and above average growth.
BUY

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.

WEAK BUY
Long owned this, though it's been frustrating in recent years. But at least he's getting paid to wait. This should be trading close to $40. If now, collect the dividend and wait.
