TSE:PPL
For a retirement portfolio. Overall, likes it to navigate choppy waters ahead. Lower risk in growth profile than a name like Inter Pipline. Performed well in 2020, and positioned balance sheet well in 2021. Can be volatile, so perhaps not the best for a retirement portfolio. Something like a Fortis gives you a stable yield. Could also do a barbell approach, with some Pembina and some Fortis, or another high-quality Canadian utility, to limit the volatility.
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.
