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.
Holds a little. Not his favourite in energy infrastructure because the stock held in very well compared to the peer group which sold off. Gives you an above average yield. Payout ratio is hovering around 100%. Some concern with respect to their Alliance pipeline which accounts for about 60% of EBITDA. It is fully contracted, but shippers have the option of not remaining on the pipeline in 2015. Company is working hard to re-contract which he ultimately thinks will be successful. Also have some commodity price exposure in that they have a minority interest in Aux Sable a facination facility in the US. Feels the 8.1% dividend yield is sustainable.
