TC Energy (TRP) is viewed as a solid long-term investment, particularly due to its strong positioning in the natural gas infrastructure sector. While many experts appreciate its stable cash flows and growth prospects, they concurrently express concerns regarding its current valuation, which is often deemed expensive relative to its earnings growth. There's a unanimous sentiment that investors should consider waiting for a more favorable entry point, especially given the recent downturn in the stock price. Though touted as a reliable dividend-paying stock with an attractive yield, experts suggest it may be better to look for alternatives or wait for lower valuations before investing further. Overall, TC Energy is recognized for its strong business model but is currently seen as overvalued in the context of its projected growth rates.

The spinoff won't affect his technical analysis. Chart shows a drop on October 1 (day of the spinoff) below a recent low, there's actually a gap and the price action is orphaned away from the rest. Deeper support at $58. Eventually, TRP always brings in the money on any weakness.

Good dividend payer, stable business. RSI turned up in July compared to the S&P.

WATCH

Recent spinoff of South Bow interesting to watch. Uncertain on whether dividend will be sustainable without South bow assets. Would wait to watch. Nov 7th earnings will be indicative of future dividends (only so much cash flow to go around). 

HOLD

Has only a bit of exposure, not a major amount. He's noticed that analyst price targets have started to come down, due to the South Bow spinoff. He doesn't know enough about the spinoff to be able to make a recommendation. 

Almost like a utility. Pipelines are not getting a lot of new approvals. Like the rails, what's there is there. Strong market position, but where is the growth going to come from? M&As can dilute shares and add debt. Well run, pretty steady. He'd be comfortable holding. Not huge upside, but some; income potential.

HOLD

Now that the split's been done, things will need to settle. He holds both it and the spinoff, and he'll assess going forward.

Generally when there are spinouts, the spinout is set up for success. So he usually likes those products. At the beginning there are often a bunch of people who don't know it, sell it off, and that can be an opportunity.

The stock is not really down much today. Today is the spin off date for South Bow Corp. and TRP receive shares in SOBO as part of the company's reorganization. We would continue to see TRP as decent for income investors.

SELL

He just sold it. He may go back into it if they spin off. He took profits. (They spin off tomorrow.)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 19/24, Up 31%)

It trades at 12X earnings and is reasonably valued. Rate cuts in Canada are a tailwind for pipelines. There is a lot of insider buying. He might trim if money was needed elsewhere.

TOP PICK

Stock's broken out, but still trading at 15-year lows. Will continue to do well. Benefits from Coastal GasLink. TRP touches 30% of natural gas molecules produced in NA. Good infrastructure, stable assets. Yield is 6%.

Likes the pipeline space with its stability and growth.

(Analysts’ price target is $62.12)
BUY

With rates moving lower, we should be looking at utilities in general. In terms of LNG demand strengthening over time, he likes names like ENB and TRP. They're large, with sustainable dividend growth.

WEAK BUY

In Q4 they will split into separate oil/liquids and natural gas distribution businesses. This will create value in the long term, not short. Prefers ENB which pays a slightly higher dividend, but is similar. TRP pays a nice dividend.

SELL

No real issues with it. Always trying different strategies to try to recognize value. Thinks it will always trade at a discount to peers. If you have a gain, don't need to run out and sell. If you're underwater, great candidate to sell, realize the loss, and buy ENB.

In the space, he owns ENB and PPL. Both have more robust plans for growth than TRP.  ENB is very inexpensive today, so that's his preference.

DON'T BUY
TRP or FTS for safe dividends?

Take a look at ZWU, broadly diversified, higher yield than individual names. He'd much rather have exposure to that, better profile for income seekers. 

Both TRP and FTS have rallied significantly, so it's not favourable from a risk/return standpoint. He buys into corrections and weakness instead.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 31/23, Up 34%)

It's a rate story, so lower interest rates will push this further. Pays a high dividend of 4.5%. Will hold it long term.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 18/23, Up 24%)

It is well positioned on the natural gas side and the market has been way too negative in the past year. The slimmed down company will be almost a pure play on natural gas, transport and power.

HOLD

Fine as an income stock. Project-cost overruns are largely behind. Not sure how natural gas spinoff will unfold. Likes pipelines, defensible cashflow streams, attractive dividend yields. Prefers others in the space. See her Top Picks.
