Pembina Pipeline Corp (PPL-T) has generally received favorable reviews from industry experts, highlighting its solid position in the energy sector and strong cash flow from contracted pipelines. Analysts appreciate its 5%-plus dividend yield, which is supported by a stable business model based on take-or-pay contracts. While some analysts caution that valuation appears stretched at current levels, they acknowledge the company’s potential for future growth, especially in LNG exports. Overall, the sentiment is largely positive, although there are differing views on timing and the need for a better entry point. Concerns over certain assets and competitive pressures exist, but many see long-term benefits, especially as energy demand is expected to increase.
Keyera vs. Pembina He owns both. Keyera: pays a slightly higher dividend, but also slightly riskier, due to its mix of liquids and gas processing, so probably more earnings volatility short-term. Pembina is a pipeline play with operating cash flow around 9-10x. They were resilient in the downturn. What's good about both is that they are sensitive to volumes, not the oil price, especially Pembina. The dividends are safe and earnings resilient. If the stocks do nothing, at least both pay more than 8% in dividend yields.
It had a lot of growth ahead, then the pandemic threw that into question. It's waiting on the future demand for energy and pipelines. The monthly dividend is safe as long as contracted players continue to pay, but the risk is in those contracts voiding and defaulting. This applies to peers like Keyera. PPL is more diversified and bigger vs. its peers. He's picking away at it, but this is a volatile space. Oil stocks are grinding higher, though, as the WTI price keeps rising and shale oil is not coming back and Canadian production is flatlining. Buy at low-$30/high-$20s. Hold at mid-$30s and hope things will normalize.
