Pembina Pipeline (PPL-T) acquired the company. Keep the stock or Sell and take profits? Pembina is not just a pure pipeline, but does have some oil interests as well. Chart shows a little bit of overhead that we have seen since 2015. There are a number of people that remember what they paid and will want their money back. We are getting close to that level. The chart is taking a slightly rounded look to it. Between the fact that it definitely has some technical resistance in the low $40 he would be tempted to take the cash. On the other hand, if you are interested in the dividend, it is a perfectly fine income stock. He wouldn't buy any new stock.
This was a Top Pick March 24/17. It has had a pretty big move in the last month or so, and is currently at a level where he doesn’t see much upside as there was. They are looking to increase the Alliance pipeline by 30%, which could be very accretive. Pays a good distribution that is getting safer. Try to add to this on a bit of a pullback.
Payout ratio is in the high 70s but thinks the payout is safe in the near term. Lowered their cash flow growth estimates a few times this year and disappointed a few people that way. They own half the Alliance Pipeline and have a gas plant in the Chicago area. 7.9% yield but doesn’t expect you will see a lot of growth in the near-term.
