This summary was created by AI, based on 48 opinions in the last 12 months.

Pembina Pipeline Corp (PPL) is regarded as a strong player in the pipeline and utility sector, driven by growing energy demand, particularly from data centers and LNG exports. The company has a solid balance sheet, long-term contracts, and a sustainable dividend, which analysts appreciate. While there is a consensus that PPL has shown decent growth, many experts express caution regarding its current valuation, suggesting it might be priced on the higher side. Despite some concerns over asset performance and regulatory challenges, the growth prospects in LNG and natural gas make PPL a compelling investment for medium to long-term holders. Analysts acknowledge the company's attractive yield between 4% to 5.5%, with potential upward growth due to strategic positioning in a favorable energy market.

ENB
BUY

Currently trading at 10x operating cash flow.
~6% dividend yield that is very safe.
Legacy assets that are hard to replicate.
Not as many problems as other mid-stream companies with cost over runs.
Good time to buy.

DON'T BUY
PPL vs. ENB

ENB has much higher quality assets and better locations. More volatility in earnings. Rumoured to be interested in TMX pipeline, which is an overhang. Good company, dividend safe. He still prefers TRP and ENB.

BUY

Not buying for growth clients, but more for a balanced and income-focused portfolio. All the pipelines are down, but he still expects them to raise dividends going forward.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 06/23, Down 7.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with PPL has triggered its stop at $41.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  

BUY

Really good portfolio of long-term assets and income generation. Contracts tend to be take or pay. Going forward, it will be harder, not easier, to build pipelines and infrastructure. Transition to renewables won't happen overnight. His preference is KEY, with its new KAPS program. See his Top Picks.

BUY

Doesn't suffer cost overruns on projects like TCE and has a similar valuation to them and Enbridge. Has more of a growth profile. Better than its peers. Pays a decent dividend. Added to it recently. A defensive hold.

Unspecified

Its dividend is safe at a 56% payout ratio. It is executing well and reiterated guidance. It is trading at a reasonable valuation of 15.6 X with OK growth.

HOLD

Broke out, formed a top, and hasn't broken the neckline. Still OK, as long as it doesn't break $40 significantly by too many days. Pays a dividend, nothing wrong with the stock or the sector, just out of favour. Yield is 6.4%.

HOLD

Major supplier of oil and gas infrastructure to Western Canada. This will continue to build, as Canada still has surplus energy. Interest rates have gone up, while oil/gas prices have come down. Puts pressure on the stock. Sees no reason to sell. Future is fine for volumes. Dividend will rise slowly. Yield is quite attractive at 6.4%.

BUY
For income?

Pullback with energy sector makes an attractive entry point. Well positioned in production growth areas. Yield is over 6%, quite safe, and should increase every year. 

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Tough business in Canada with protests.
Very good assets with legacy attributes (hard to replicate).
Canada requires large amount of energy - Pembina a service provider of energy demand.
Strong fundamentals. 

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes a lot. Wait for a pullback, as valuation has come up. Tremendous collection of energy infrastructure assets in Western Canada. Lovely business, very well run. Very durable in a tough time.

BUY

Owns this and Enbridge. PPL is well-positioned in western natural gas, so PPL is well-positioned if European demand for nat gas rises. Good managers of debt and dividends (5.5%) which increases annually.

TOP PICK

Best in this sector. Diversified, exposed to western Canadian gas. Pays a 6% yield. Good long-term. Will likely buy the Transmountain Pipeline. A good core business that offers core growth. Why aren't these companies trading at a PE as utilities?

(Analysts’ price target is $51.75)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

PPL provides key infrastructure to the energy sector in Western Canada.  It operates 2.8 mmboed of pipeline capacity along with 11 million barrels of tank inventory and over 100 mboed of rail terminal capacity.  It trades at 8x earnings, under 2x book value, and boasts a ROE of 19%.  The dividend is great and backed by a payout ratio of 50% of cash flow.  We like that cash reserves are growing while debt is aggressively being retired and shares bought back.  We recommend placing a stop loss at $41, looking to achieve $52.50 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 5.7%
