Brian Madden TC Energy TRP-T BUY Aug 28, 2023

Likes it short and long term. They touch 30% of all LNG and 25% natural gas in North America. There was data centre hype in this stock, but faded after DeepSeek last week. Pays a 5% dividend yield. Likes it more after spinning off South Bow, a pure play natural gas company.

A great business, good valuations, pays under a 5% dividend.

Likes the pipeline space for income, and this one is fine. She owns PPL instead, and see her Top Picks.

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.

It oversold for a while and is not a fast growing company but data centres need gas to provide their demands for electricity. Pipelines are good for recession and TRP is up 4% since Feb.19.

Great run second half last year, has gone sideways since then. Now breaking out above $68, which is quite positive. It's had lots of time to digest and consolidate.

Defensive. Pays a 4.8% dividend. Natural gas demand will endure. No tariff worries. Data centres need power, and he doubts tariffs will impact Canadian energy supply.

Catalyst was spinoff of South Bow oil pipelines, so remaining energy would be "clean". 

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 owned it for a while. Had a big run-up last year but thinks it is pretty much done now with a lot of insider selling. Tends to have big swings.
