Pulled down toward the 200-day MA, so an opportunity to pick up shares. RSI is down around 29, indicating it's oversold. Nice, steady name with pretty low beta (half that of the TSX). For the conservative, dividend part of your portfolio. Yield is 4% and safe, expected to increase over coming years.
Pipeline names serve an important need in a portfolio for those who are income-focused. Sector's been hot, valuations have come up dramatically. If you own, continue to hold. Growth outlook quite strong.
Pipelines will definitely benefit from the need for power for AI. But they can't ship more than is already allocated, so they don't get as much operating leverage as some other companies.
Pipelines are not quite as good as utilities for safety, because they're perceived as being commodity-sensitive (even though they're really not). This name will give you a good dividend and safety. You'll get your dividend, and the safety means you can sleep at night (and that's worth something). You can get diversification via funds and ETFs.
Possible deal with Iran caused similar price action across the whole complex. The whole space was at a high.
Both an oil play and an energy infrastructure play. Project backlog of $8B (with ~90% sanctioned, and another $12B being discussed) looks very visible. Great company. Trades at premium of 20x PE for 5% growth.
Better places for new $$.
Definitely holding. Nat gas prices have gone up 40% since the beginning of the year. Sold its oil, kept natural gas, and now involved in nuclear. Decent dividend, with growth in 4-5% range. More pipeline infrastructure to be built in Canada, US, and Mexico. Still a buy.
A good prime minister in their corner who's working on pipelines as projects. Brendan is cautiously optimistic that there will continue to be pipeline expansion. TRP probably continues to do well. We've seen a bit of rebound in the pipeline sector. Lower interest rates should keep the economy at least at the same level, if not expand it. With pressure on currencies, sees pricing for all commodities in USD continue fairly strong.
Likes the natural gas sector as a transition sector, and we probably won't be burning as much in 25-50 years. Much better for the environment than coal.
TRP P/E at 19X compares with its 10-year range of 12 to 19x so it is certainly on the high end of the range. EPS growth as noted is not going to be spectacular. The stock is trading for its yield of 4.74% and its safety going into a possible recession. Business is historically stable and the tax-adjusted yield is certainly attractive vs fixed-income alternatives. We are comfortable with it, but more as an income security and would not expect big gains here. It's up 33% in the past year and we doubt that rate is sustainable, certainly. The debt is nothing new of course, and common for the sector. Lower rates will help here. It has 13 BUYS, 10 HOLDS and 3 SELLS. Avg. target price $73.37. We would consider it 'buyable' slightly lower. Our main comment here references the 'riskier' note in the question. IF we head into a period of weakness, we would prefer to own TRP over dozens of other.
