Pembina Pipeline CorpPPL.TOBUYOct 23, 2025Stock 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.
Really likes it. If you have a bit higher risk tolerance, you get a lot more upside. Yield is similar to that of ENB, but with a lot more growth. LNG project will come online in BC in 3-4 years. Potential META power centre. A play on the still-very-strong outlook of nat gas in Western Canada. Faster dividend and cashflow growth.
He's been adding here in the low $50s. Down in sympathy with rest of energy, but that can reverse any time (as we're seeing today). Very high quality, infrastructure-like assets.
