Pembina Pipeline Corp (PPL) has garnered a generally positive outlook from various analysts, highlighting its strong position within the energy infrastructure sector. Many experts note its decent dividend yield, good growth projects, and favorable contracts that provide revenue visibility. While some analysts have expressed concerns about its recent performance and valuation, citing potential for a pullback, others emphasize its strategic assets and opportunities related to natural gas production. The stock demonstrates resilience amid turbulent market conditions, and many believe it remains a solid long-term investment choice, particularly in light of Canada’s increasing energy needs and infrastructure developments.
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.
Pipelines hold the whole energy complex together. Investors do well by owning pipelines. Very solid company. Near term there are challenges and are reflected in share price. Low propane prices, lower volumes. Issues are fixable and investors are paid to wait. Longer term the company is significantly undervalued. Significant growth opportunities. Volumes will improve over time. 3-5% dividend increases starting in couple of years and going for many years. Great yield and growth in cash flows.
Made an acquisition earlier in the year and as a result, there was some slippage from an earnings growth perspective as a result of weaker margins in one of the service businesses that they operate in. Unlikely to turn around in the next quarter. There are some great opportunities for them to continue to build the business but there are some challenges in the short-term. Still one more quarter of potential risk. (See Top Picks.)
This is a toll-road company. Company has great track record. People compare these companies to REITs. They are trading cheaper than REITs, pay dividend instead of distribution income and they raise their dividends.
