Likes it. They strip out liquid streams from natural gas, which is lucrative. Spreads are very wide compared to historical norms. You are into a period of a year or two where gas prices will be weak and oil will be strong
Being acquired by Pembina Pipeline (PPL-T) in a couple of weeks. Might be a very smart strategy to buy into this one now as a way of getting into Pembina. You get a little bit of accretion when it is taken over. Good defensive name with midstream assets.
A great company and business, and he likes the space. It is a mid-stream play on oil. It should do quite well here. There is good strong growth in cash flow and a relatively low payout ratio. Caution would be that the space has had a good run.
Thinks it is the bargain interpipe. Has been buying for quite some time. 40% of cash flow from frack spreads. They will stay terrific. Nat Gas will not make a comeback this year. 10% gain plus dividend in this stock.
A kind of hybrid facility type company that has sold off production. He owns the convertible debenture, which is a safer way and still has pretty good yield. Good way to get some yield and have protection in case anything happens.
Mid-streamer. Takes the liquids out of the gas stream and sells it at a price closer to oil. Earnings are kind of at the top of it's cycle. A Hold not a Buy but he likes the name. Yield of 5.6%.
Extreme company that focuses on infrastructure. Have a great development pipeline, which they can potentially expand their services. Confident that they will be able to increase their dividends in the next 12-18 months. Valuations in this sector are getting a little bit stretched.
Has run up less than its competition Keyera (KEY-T), Inter Pipe (IPL.UN-T) and Altagas (ALA-T). In the frac spread area so benefits from that. Is amongst the lowest payout ratios in the group so are equipped to raise their dividend. 100% midstream now.
Mid-streamer that processes gas. Cheaper, about 2 multiple points below others. Has a lot more commodity price exposure (frac spreads) than others. Have also been able to grow their revenues outside of the commodity spread with long-term hedging and long-term contracts. Debt is much lower than peers.
One of those stocks she loves. Bought in last two or three months. Spun off most of oil and gas production and are focusing on mid-stream. Less volatility in cash flow and earnings. They are relatively new in this mode and are relatively unknown. You are going to see multiples going up and that’s why she has been buying it.
Long term potential is very positive. Gas players are going into Alberta and looking for liquid rich gas. This is where PVE comes in and removes the constituent components. Very profitable business.
