Pembina Pipeline CorpPPL.TOBUYJul 12, 2021Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Aug 12, 2026. Market Open.
A name for a good dividend and safety. Pipelines are not quite as good as utilities, because they're perceived as being commodity-sensitive (even though they're really not).
You'll get your dividend, and the safety means you can sleep at night (and that's worth something). You can get diversification via funds and ETFs.
Both benefit from AI centre demand. Pembina is building a 1.8 gigawatt natural gas plant in Alberta. Half of ALA's business is in the US, regulated utilities, in Virginia--the world capital of data centre traffic. ALA also has activity in Western Canada. ALA's growth rate is higher than Pembina. ALA gets the slight edge.
It is one of 4 great mid-stream companies and he owns the other 3, but there is nothing wrong with this one. They are engaged in a battle for the takeover of IPL-T. He thinks they will be successful in their bid. He will roll IPL-T into PPL-T so he could be a future holder of this stock. PPL-T should do well.
