TSE:TRP
This summary was created by AI, based on 20 opinions in the last 12 months.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
