Dividend will grow slowly, and there's nothing wrong with that. Yield is around 5.5-6%, which is in line with other Canadian utilities are such as ENB and TRP. Also consider that if you're a Canadian resident holding dividends in taxable accounts, there's the dividend tax credit. US charges withholding taxes on US dividends. Not enough conviction that it will outperform ENG or TRP. GEI is also a name he owns, with a higher yield.

BUY
An inflation-protection trade: Energy is the obvious play. Kinder Morgan is a laggard in energy, though not directly tied to oil prices, but will benefit during this rally. Also likes Cleveland-Cliffs which reports tomorrow. Down from highs, but still very high and lifted by high steel prices. Upside here as the economy expands. Alaska Air. Costs are up, but airline are good at passing on costs to customers. People will come out of hibernation to fly, so demand is up.

He still likes it. If you believe that commodities will move higher, you want to be in the E&P space, because they have upside exposure. If you want to get paid like an annuity with a 6% yield, then KMI is safe to collect. Even better and more well-rounded is Exxon which is up 56% YTD. KMI is definitely a safe, good bet.

He would rate this a Hold, but it could go to a Buy. Generally, infrastructure pipeline plays are attractive businesses. They are less impacted by the commodity cycle. Trump is talking about putting in a tax policy that will allow for depreciation of assets in the 1st year. This would be an incredible offer. A lot of these firms will take that up and will expand quickly. Profitability and cash flow, etc. will really accelerate. He also has a really friendly market for energy with the new energy secretary who is going to try and reverse the whole EPA environmental issues.
