TC Energy, symbol TRP-T, has garnered mixed reviews from experts. Overall, it is viewed as a relatively safe investment, particularly for those seeking dividends in the pipeline sector, though some analysts highlight its current valuation as being on the expensive side. Many reviewers appreciate its focus on natural gas and its robust project backlog, signaling potential growth despite the company's current high price-to-earnings ratio. There is also a common sentiment among experts that while the stock has performed well recently, it may be prudent to wait for lower valuations before initiating a new position. The dividend yield is attractive, and factors such as a potential shift to lower interest rates could enhance its appeal, but concerns about high debt and the need for stable cash flows remain relevant.

ENB
HOLD

Pipelines are long bonds. He targets its current price. Pays nearly an 8% dividend. If the yield curve is controlled, little will happen to this stock. Hold. See what happens.

BUY

Less leverage than peers in sector. Valuable assets since not building anymore. Would be top pick in sector. 

HOLD

A few issues above and beyond those impacting the sector. Not negative on it. If you own it, don't sell. Looking to optimize assets. Well run. Cashflows are durable and stable. Good balance sheet. Catalysts for upside. See his Top Picks. Yield is almost 8%.

BUY

Likes the pipelines. As they increase their grid, rate base will go up. Greater need for nat gas distribution. Good yield. Higher costs will be reflected in renewed contracts. Good place to be in the current environment. Yield on TRP is 8.1%, and he sees it as an opportunity, but they may not raise dividend as quickly as in the past.

TOP PICK

Exposure to natural gas feed stock excellent. Coastal Gas Link completion coming soon. ~8% yield very attractive - does not see it as risky. Very strong assets - hard to replicate.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Impact of the split?

Companies get split off for 2 reasons: 1) it's non-core; or 2) it's better off being run on its own. Long-term, core business of TRP has an elevated dividend that will revert to the mean. You should see a special dividend, dividend compression over time. 

At current levels, you'll see more downside.  Well run, great company. Major opportunity once pipeline to the West is done.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 14/22, Down 23%)

Bought for stable and growing dividend and for commodity tailwinds. Yield surge threatened funding outlook.  Not a lot of growth in next 2 years, but reasonable at 10x, with 8% dividend.

COMMENT

He lost faith in management and sold. It had cost over-runs and sold off some gas assets but not for great profits. Still more asset sales are needed to pay down debt. The plan to split the company into two parts raises question marks. Enbridge is better managed so he prefers that as well as Alta Gas.

DON'T BUY

Headwind of higher interest rates. Cost overruns on Coastal GasLink, so has underperformed ENB and PPL. Once Coastal is complete, overhang should lift.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 11/22, Down 4%)

It has not been a good year for the stock or the space in general but some companies are coming back. It pays a good dividend and has plans to sell some assets which will be good for paying down debt. It is selling an oil pipeline but it doesn't look to be at a great multiple. He has been buying more.

HOLD

Excellent job in diversifying business.
Capital expansion program worrisome for investors.
Higher interest rates hard on business.
Building new assets difficult in Canada.
Oil pipeline spin-out would be a good investment.

BUY

Dividend's not as high as ENB, but neither is the leverage. Suffered as interest rates have gone up, but interest rates have peaked and should come down somewhat sometime next year. Hefty dividend of 7.7%.

BUY

It's been challenging to own this long term, but things are improving--they divested their stake in their Columbia gas pipeline, freeing $5 billion, and will spin off the liquids business, which will be a long, complicated process. But this will unlock flexibility and remove some ESG taint to TRP. Shares are cheap and pay a 7.6% dividend (a record high and higher than peers like Enbridge). Trades at a discount to peers. Shares are down. All these factors set it up well.

DON'T BUY

Has sold shares in company.
Cost overruns and difficulty to build projects a concern.
Not able to re-invest cash flow.
Dividend not in trouble, but not expecting capital appreciation.
Strong assets, but hard to grow business. 

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 11/22, Down 20%)

Surprised how much share price has fallen.
Believes that weakness in share price will pass.
Assets very strong - move 25% of gas in North America; 35% of LNG feed stock.
LNG growth also growing. 
Buying more shares given current price. 
Good long term investment.
