This summary was created by AI, based on 49 opinions in the last 12 months.
Pembina Pipeline Corp (PPL) is widely viewed as a stable investment with a good dividend yield, currently around 4.5% to 5.5%. Analysts note that the company is well-positioned in the energy sector, particularly for natural gas infrastructure and potential growth from new LNG projects in Western Canada. The company's solid backlog allows for expectations of rising cash flows and dividends in the coming years. While some analysts express concerns over its current valuation, a significant number still consider it a strong long-term hold, citing its relatively low-risk profile and contracted cash flows that provide earnings visibility. Overall, PPL is recognized for its robust operational strategy and is seen favorably for those seeking income amidst market volatility.
Suncor vs. Pembina Investor sentiment for oil is very weak, but Suncor is among the better performers in the last decade because their Oil Sands assets have such a long life that they don't have to keep investing money each year to maintain that production. Ultimately, Canada needs to see takeaway capacity to improve. He owns Pembina which is not as directly effected by the oil price. Suncor is an oil play; Pembina is an income play. Either one is fine.
Kinder Morgan sold 5% of PPL shares, then the stock went up--so that overhang is now gone. Also, PPL just released details of their new petrochemical project, which helps de-risk PPL. That's why this stock jumped $2. Dividend is growing by 6%. He expects 8% free cash flow per share growth. PPL is a good, growing name with new projects. The whole sector is expensive though. A fine name overall at the current price.
A well-run energy infrastructure storage name. They closed the Kinder Morgan Canada purchase today. Reasonable growth ahead and trades at an attractive valuation at 10x cash flow. It pays over a 4% dividend yield. (Analysts’ price target is $55.26)
Outlook for Pembina in fulfilling take-or-pay contracts with clients. That's exactly the concern behind the stock going down. That's the risk. It's like Chorus Aviation's relationship to Air Canada (though AC has a strong balance sheet and is well-positioned). PPL was trading at a pricey 20x EBIT to EBITDA. Pays a big, growing yield at a reasonable payout ratio, assuming they can maintain cash flow. The market is determining how risky that is. PPL has lost its utility-like premium and trading down. Valuation is cheaper, but it's becoming volatile. Let the dust settle before considering this.
