Jim McGovern Kinder Morgan Canada KML-T COMMENT Jun 05, 2017

Kinder Morgan (KMI-N) or Kinder Morgan Canada (KML-T)? In the short term, he would choose neither. If certain things happen, he would look at the Kinder Morgan Canada position. The Canadian subsidiary, without the pipeline expansion, is worth $15. That is just on the assets and the quality of the assets. Since you can get the shares close to $15, you are getting all the optionality. He is waiting for an opportunity to get this under $16. In the US, it is an MLP, and he is not positive on the MLP market. There is just so much debt associated in that area.

$16.520

WATCH

They have a project that politicians are talking about de-risking but it has not been done and there is no construction taking place. This is a show-me stock.

DON'T BUY

What is in it for the shareholders when the Canadian government is involved? Will they make Canada a friendly place to invest again? There is so much uncertainty, so he would not be considering this as an investment.

COMMENT

Now they have a lot of cash. The intention of the parent company is not very clear. They could use it for distribution or other things. We don’t know. Next step is doing what they are doing.

HOLD
Entire energy sector has fallen off a cliff. Stay with Kinder Morgan, energy as a whole will come back. The 4-year cycle reset right around the corner should help put a floor under all these sectors that have been under pressure.
TOP PICK
The saga is a bit of a shame. They have a stub business left over. They paid a dividend well supported by cash flow. They are in a strategic review to be completed in April. (Analysts’ price target is $29.44)
COMMENT
Doesn't know why it plunged briefly in January. The pipelines have historically been a great investment--good, long-term contracts--and he likes this space, but he can't really comment on KML itself.
BUY
A good midstreamer that pays a decent 5% dividend. Likes this space. This is a steady eddy and he's stick with it even with an earnings miss.
DON'T BUY
The expectation was that the parent company would take what was left over after the sale of Trans Mountain. That has not yet happened, so the stock has dropped in value and returned capital back to investors. There has been no discussion on future plans, so there is nothing to get excited about here. No reason to own it.
DON'T BUY

The payout ratio on PPL is about 98%, so there is not a lot of wiggle room. He does not own this one. The company is looking to buy KML. He has a short on this simply because they are already long KML. The balance sheet is better than most pipelines out there. However, it does not score cheaply enough on valuations for him to want to buy today. Yield 5.2%

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 14/19, Up 5%) Kinder Morgan Canada was purchased by Pembina Pipeline. This was the TMX project. He was hoping for a better price in the acquisition, so the return was muted.
