This summary was created by AI, based on 19 opinions in the last 12 months.

TC Energy (TRP) is viewed by experts as a solid investment in the midstream sector, particularly due to its strong position in natural gas infrastructure and a growing project backlog valued at $8 billion. While some analysts express concern over its high valuation relative to earnings, they appreciate its stability and utility-like characteristics, which provide consistent cash flows. The company has been experiencing volatility in its stock price tied to broader market movements, but many express confidence in its long-term prospects, particularly with the anticipated growth in pipeline infrastructure across North America. Despite varying opinions on the timing for new investments, several analysts highlight the potential for steady dividend growth and the importance of natural gas as a transition energy source. Overall, TRP is perceived as a reliable investment for income-focused strategies, though caution is advised regarding its current valuation levels and market sentiment.

ENB,ENB
BUY
It had a long-term downtrend, but has reversed that since the start of the year. Positive. It could break to new highs at $65.
TOP PICK
Sales were up 5%; earnings were up 26%. He expects a 14% ROE this year. If it gets above $61 it would be a potential break-out. (Analysts’ price target is $62.98)
WAIT
He likes pipelines and utility companies. TRP is a little more diversified and will benefit longer term. He thinks there are better buying opportunities in this name by waiting. There is no national strategy of pipelines, however this may happen when prices start rising.
BUY
TransCanda Pipelines vs Enbridge If you ran a 10 year chart on both of these, you can't tell the difference between them. Everything is pretty equal between these 2 names. Could play a trading game swapping between them both dependant on yield. They will continue to raise their dividends. These are great monopolies across North America. He would own both.
DON'T BUY
They do share buybacks, but TRP is a step behind its peer, Enbridge which has a stronger capital structure (i.e. discontinued its DRIP). With their growth projects, they're not out of the woods just yet. Buy Enbridge instead. Also, it's so difficult to build a pipeline in Canada.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 11/18, Down 0.1%) Increased dividend by 8 or 9%. Keystone is the wildcard, and explains why stock hasn't moved. Price will start to move if it gets approved. For utilities, it's all about rate-based growth and they can start to increase profitability. Yield is 5.2% with close to 10% increases.
HOLD
She prefers to own ENB-T, but thinks this stock will do well. The dividend is safe. But it is getting more difficult to build pipelines. There is no compelling reason to shift over just yet.
WEAK BUY
The energy space was tough last year. This has been rising since September, relative to the energy space. It has performed well through the recovery. Nice dividend, growing at about 6% annually. If you took at three year period in the market it will under-perform but be more stable.
BUY
ENB vs. Transcanada Apart from one hiccup (it cut its dividend once in the 90s), Transcanada has performed very well. It's a low-risk business with 95% of its revenues regulated or on long-term contracts. They plan to spend $28 billion on new growth projects and fund it with existing cash flow. They can also grow their dividend 8-10% annually for the next three years. As growth projects come to play, maybe their earning will ramp up again.
TOP PICK
One of largest pipeline companies in North America. Both US and Canadian assets. Even without Keystone, it will do well, and the dividend should go up. Good place to be in a tumultuous market. Yield is 5.1%. (Analysts’ price target is $62.93)
DON'T BUY
TRP vs. IPL. He'd go with IPL. The yield is higher. TRP probably has the prospect of a couple of dividend hikes in the next year or two. Whereas hikes at IPL will probably be on hold because of capital expenditures. Quality of IPL assets is unassailable, and the new plant will be meaningfully accretive to their operating earnings when it comes online in 2021. Rebranding is to appeal to its global shareholder base.
BUY
TRP-T vs. KEY-T. One of the most important data points is beta. He would choose TRP, because it's less correlated to the market. Has more protection on downside risk. Plus, it has higher overall performance. A couple of weeks ago, it was bottoming and relative strength was holding in really well. (Analysts’ price target is $63.55)
HOLD
Went sideways, broke down, struggling to keep in some sort of a zone. One of the better, safer charts. He'd hold it if you have it.
TOP PICK

Long owned this. 5% dividend that consistently grows. They're big in the U.S. that's growing. They have the L&G coastal gas link and Keystone which both have partners. (Analysts’ price target is $63.51)

COMMENT
It's a yield play. It's difficult to see a scenario for meaningful growth without the approval of future pipelines. Prefers the utilities because unlike the pipelines he does see some share price appreciation potential as well. Great yield at about 5.1% but growth is a challenge.
