TC Energy (TRP) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, reflecting a range of sentiments on its valuation and growth prospects. Many analysts express concerns about its high price-to-earnings ratio, which hovers around 20-23x, making it appear expensive compared to its growth rate of approximately 5-6%. While the company boasts a stable and contracted cash flow model, particularly in the natural gas sector, some experts suggest waiting for a better entry point due to the current high valuations. Others highlight its strong project backlog and potential for growth in the clean energy space, emphasizing its resilience against commodity price fluctuations. Overall, while it is seen as a solid long-term hold, the prevailing sentiment is to be cautious amid rich valuations and lookout for more favorable buying opportunities.
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.
It is best known for its Keystone pipeline system. The market didn't like the valuation multiple implied in the recent announcement of the sale of Columbia Pipelines. It is separating out its liquids pipelines business from its gas pipelines. There have been cost over-runs and elevated debt levels. The dividend is over 7%.
Less leverage than peers in sector. Valuable assets since not building anymore. Would be top pick in sector.
