Stock price when the opinion was issued
This is the one he likes in the space. Part of its business is very utility-like. Steady dividend, which will rise over time. Dividend also looks attractive in the face of an economic slowdown when interest rates would fall. Hold for the long haul.
More pipeline builds would certainly be an opportunity for growth for this name, but that's not why he owns it.
Defensive assets are garnering less and less of a bid as people become more comfortable with economic risk. Used this name as a source of cash to add more beta to portfolios. Great company, but relative price performance has started to back off for the pipelines group. Pipelines carry a lot of debt, and financing costs could get more expensive if long-term yields stay high.
He likes the pipelines, though we're not building any right now due to environmentalists. We haven't built any to the coast, so we can't ship any, which makes us beholden to the U.S. That's a big concern. Careful with pipelines, because of interest rate exposure. Pipielines are infrastructure, after all. He likes the yield of TRP which is sustainable. Will add more shares later. It's a solid vehicle.
