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.
Has been a phenomenal stock. Seasonably, pipelines are very similar to the energy sector in general i.e. from 3rd week in January right through until end of May. Stock is already in gear from a technical basis. Above its 20 day moving average, in an upper trend and is outperforming the TSE composite.
Energy infrastructure company. What has happened in Canada and the US in the last few years has been an increase in unconventional oil and gas production. All this oil and gas has to be transported to refineries which has benefited this company. They provide transportation, pipelines and fracing facilities. Pretty attractive yield but he is concerned about the commodity price exposure, which is about 20%-25% of the overall pie. (See Top Picks.)
Pipeline returns have never been stronger and there is a more visible earnings growth thesis than any other sector that he has seen. Great combination of growth and dividend. Have expansion projects and pipeline-connections which should boost earnings over 30% over the next 2 years. Have been pinched a little bit by their acquisition of Provident giving them more exposure to commodity-based pricing, frac spreads, which is about 30% of their business now. That will drop to 20% over 2014. Their conventional business is so strong that even frac spread compression, like we’ve seen, will be overpowered.
The one issue with this and his long-time favourite Inter-Pipeline (IPL.UN-T) is that on a price to cash flow basis, especially to Enbridge (ENB-T) and Transcanada (TRP-T), these 2 are stretched. Has a price target of $32 plus. Good yield that continues to rise over the years but key issue is that they have more exposure to midstream operations than Inter-Pipeline so he could see this one doing a little better in the short term.
