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.
Spinout should happen in the fall. South Bow is the more interesting one, could be takeover target. Last quarter was a beat. Too cheap at 12x 2025 earnings, nice dividend, good job executing. Not a lot of EPS growth right now. Sector's done well this month, might need to rest. Likes it, but you don't have to buy it at $53.
