Pembina Pipeline Corp (PPL-T) is widely regarded as a solid investment choice, particularly for income-seeking investors due to its attractive dividend yield, hovering around 4.5% to 5.5%. Analysts appreciate the company's well-positioned assets and healthy project backlog, which bode well for future cash flow and dividend growth. The potential for increased demand tied to new LNG projects in Western Canada adds to its positive outlook. While some experts express caution regarding its current valuation and market sentiment, the overall sentiment is one of confidence in its stability and growth prospects. The stock is seen as a defensive play in the energy sector, especially amidst volatility in oil prices, making it a preferred choice for risk-averse investors looking for steady income and moderate growth.
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.
A lot of these pipeline/infrastructure companies have come down in the last 3 months or so but he is still positive on them.
