Pembina Pipeline Corp (PPL-T) has received mixed reviews from various analysts, highlighting its strength in pipeline infrastructure and growth potential in the context of increasing energy demand in Western Canada. Many experts appreciate its solid dividend yield of around 5%, indicating this stock can serve as a reliable income-generating investment. The company is also well-positioned for future opportunities, especially after recent policy announcements regarding energy infrastructure. However, some analysts express concerns regarding its valuation, suggesting it trades at a premium compared to its peers like Enbridge (ENB) and TC Energy (TRP), and possible pullbacks may occur. Overall, Pembina is viewed as a strategic asset in the energy sector with a robust project pipeline and stable cash flows.
Steady eddy. Lots of downside protection, which is what he's looking for right now. He even added some recently. Defensive, low valuation, growth potential. More east to west, rather than north to south (which may see some volatility with the new US administration).
Likes the pipeline names, and this is at the top of his list.
EPS of 60c did miss estimates of 75c; revenue of $1.84B also missed estimates ($2.11B). EBITDA of $1.01B missed estimates by 4%. Pembina's 4Q Ebitda may expand by high-single digits, assuming it reaches the midpoint of narrowed guidance of C4.23-$4.33 billion. Contributions from increased stakes in Alliance Pipeline and Aux Sable will likely be the primary drivers, outweighing pressure on lower re-contracted tolls on the Cochin pipeline system. The narrower differential between US Gulf Coast and western Canadian condensate could continue to limit interruptible volume on Cochin. The Marketing segment may be little changed again as the fully consolidated Aux Sable asset and improved NGL margin -- partly due to weak natural gas prices -- buoy Ebitda. Capital spending in 4Q could be similar to 3Q's $262 million, supporting free-cash-flow generation to cover the dividend. It is up 24% this year, but could continue to benefit from lower interest rates. The quarter was clearly not perfect, but with its valuation and 4.9% dividend we would not necessarily see it as a sell if one wants sector exposure.

Owns in his balanced fund for income. Strong long-term performer. Multi-year dividend growth. Great management team. Irreplaceable assets across BC and Alberta. Hopefully will benefit from more LNG buildouts. Oil & gas prices are decent.
Hard to tell if it will go higher, as it's not a high-growth company. Perhaps expect 8-10% long-term growth with dividends. One of the best infrastructure names in Canada.
She's a long-term owner of stocks, this gives you the impact of compounding dividend growth. She will trim if necessary, not holding a weight of 10% for example. Proven long-term ability to grow, lots ahead. Coastal GasLink will bring more nat gas to the West Coast.
Doesn't love buying for new clients at these levels, but confident in its ability to grow.
Shows long-term resistance, and that stuff matters. Resistance is the price that some people bought at and will be looking to get out, so there's going to be some selling pressure. But if there's a breakout, that's great. Watch and see what happens.
