Atco Ltd (ACO.X-T) is a relatively unknown utility business in the Far North that pays a 5% dividend, but doesn't see much growth compared to its peers. It is under pressure due to its heavy reliance on utilities, particularly Canadian Utilities, and is interest sensitive. Insider buying and a 5.42% yield make it an attractive investment. However, there are concerns about the wider market and potential negative signals. It has triggered its stop at $40, resulting in a net investment loss of 6%. Despite trading close to its book value, it is also close to its all-time low in valuation.

Excellent company with strong assets, and demand for product. Will continue to own shares. Expecting further strength in the share price. Very good management team. Recent modular constriction purchase will be good for profits.

It is a relatively low growth company, but shares are up 24% YTD. Sector sentiment has shifted, with lower rates providing a fundamental and sentiment boost and AI-demand adding some excitement to a boring sector. We would not expect the same rate of gains, but would be comfortable holding this for income right now.

Good-looking chart. Breakouts are his favourite thing in the world (next to chocolate). Downtrend ended, pulled back, but then broke out. That's now classified as a probable neckline, because stock's pulled back to it. Lots of room, as long as the neckline holds (that neckline becomes your new stop point). If it breaks the neckline, get out.

Small trendline moving up, with higher highs and higher lows. Next target is ~$43, the old support. If that breaks, then maybe $45, and then maybe $47. Lots and lots of room on this stock.

A nice dividend player, though little known for its utility business in the Far North. Over the past year, they've returned only 0.5% compounded annualized. It pays a 5% dividend, but it doesn't grow much compared to peers.  Does not return enough capital for him. Are better utilities.

Under pressure, as it's comprised mainly of utilities. Owns 53% of Canadian Utilities, representing 80% of earnings. Interest sensitive. Also involved in real estate and infrastructure rentals. Housing, logistics, emergency shelter. Insider buying. Yield is 5.42%.

He targets this where the stock price is now. But he sees a negative signal in the wider market, so this could fall $5 to $30. How far can interest rates rise (he expects them to) in the next 6-12 months?

Has 20 years of dividend increases. But rising interest rates are competition for dividend-paying utilities. That said, long term this is a good company.

TOP PICK
Atco Ltd
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

We again reiterate this Canadian infrastructure utility, who just acquired a sizeable portfolio of wind and solar assets in Alberta and Ontario as a TOP PICK.  They inked a 15 year renewable energy deal with Microsoft. It trades at 1.2x book and at 12x earnings. We like that cash reserves are growing while paying down debt and buying shares.  It has a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 55% of cash flow. We recommend maintaining the trailing the stop at $40, looking to achieve $50 -- upside over 16%. Yield 4.2%

Boring company, but outperformed the market this year. Decent yield, not high growth. Decent player over time. He'd prefer pure utility stocks, like CU. OK at this time.

This is a cheaper way into Canadian utilities. It is very close to its long term low which is its book value. Has a slightly smaller dividend yield. It puts some defensiveness in your portfolio. Hold for the long term. Buy 4 Hold 2 Sell 1
