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.
Class A preferred shares, series 1, reset on Dec 1/18 at 4.25%? The company is great. It’s in a sweet spot and does a lot of midstream pipeline and gathering. They have a chance to benefit from TransCanada’s (TRP-T)-eastern pipeline. Good management team. Their common equity is yielding about 5%. These are 4.25% and reset at Canada’s 247 basis points in 2018. The question is, where do you want to be in the capital structure? Their 5-year bonds are yielding around 3%. This would be your own personal preference.
(A Top Pick Oct 1/12. Up 21.59%.) $25 billion of potential growth projects over the next 5 years. EBITDA could almost double. Thinks they are going to enhance their growth profile even more. Not very sensitive to bond yield increases. Dividend growth of 7% since 2000, which he thinks will continue. Has a target of $57, which they can achieve if they are successful with Keystone XL and continued good progress with LNG developments.
An energy infrastructure pipeline that moves a great deal of oil through Alberta and Western Canada. He worries little bit about how the stock will behave in the near-term given that interest rates are going up. A bit expensive. However, there are growth prospects and over the longer-term there is growth potential. Feels the 5% dividend is safe.
(A Top Pick July 12/12. Up 33.94%.) Took a big hit at the end of May when the “tapering” talk started and people got worried that bond yields were going to ratchet way up and stocks purchased for income were going to be out of favour. It sold off for about 6 weeks in a row and is only starting to come back now. Very solid company and the yield is rock solid. In his view, even with the five-year bond where it is, this is still very attractive.
