This summary was created by AI, based on 18 opinions in the last 12 months.
Altagas Ltd (ALA-T) is positioned as a strong player in the utility and energy infrastructure space, benefiting from its significant involvement in the growing LNG export market. The company has established itself as a key exporter of propane off Canada's West Coast and is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for natural gas, especially in data centers located in Virginia. Analysts highlight ALA's robust growth potential, with expectations for further upside despite a recent pullback in stock price. The consensus leans towards its favorable valuation relative to peers, particularly Pembina, with emphasis on the stability provided by its utility segment and regulated assets. However, there is cautious optimism regarding its performance, with a preference for stock purchases during market dips.
Both benefit from AI centre demand. Pembina is building a 1.8 gigawatt natural gas plant in Alberta. Half of ALA's business is in the US, regulated utilities, in Virginia--the world capital of data centre traffic. ALA also has activity in Western Canada. ALA's growth rate is higher than Pembina. ALA gets the slight edge.
Way more to go. Great value, good growth, data centre growth, natural gas tailwinds linked to getting offshore. Trades at 18x PE, growing only 11%.
A bit overbought, and if you want to be a day trader you could sell a bit. By doing that, you often miss the story as it goes higher. If he were being cute, he might sell a call in this environment.
ALA gives you a mix of energy infrastructure (~45%) with regulated utilities (~55%). Utility component gives more stability, but lower dividend. He's not a huge fan of utilities unless they're tied to AI infrastructure buildout.
PPL is more pure-play pipeline infrastructure. Better dividend yield. Contracted cashflow gives you earnings and revenue visibility. This would be his preference.
Steady cashflow from nat gas distribution and energy infrastructure assets. Utility segment provides stability. Growth through exports and storage, but both parts of the business still move in step with natural gas. Trending upward. Value is 8/10, fundamentals 7/10. Expects upside of ~8-10%. Analysts are mixed between Buy and Outperform, with a few Hold and Underperform. She'd wait for a 5% pullback.
She owns and prefers BIP.UN, CPX and H. Despite some commodity exposure, its cashflows, balance sheet, and long-term contracts provide better visibility.
Has done well, bit of a pullback recently. Value: 8/10. Sees about 10-12% upside from here. Analysts are mixed between Outperform and Buy. Q3 saw EPS normalize, but revenue was mixed. Remains on-track for full-year guidance despite the slight miss. Debt's not well-covered by operating cashflow. Neutral from a short-term technical perspective.
Instead she owns ENB, H, and CES.
Likes oil & gas a lot. US has rebuilding of the strategic petroleum reserve, which should create a floor under the market. Narrative in the market is that oil and gas are oversupplied.
Stock's weakening of late, and he doesn't know the specifics as well as he should. But he likes the space. Looking at the chart, stock doesn't seem to have come off all that much.

Boring utility plus gas processing and infrastructure. One of the first to export propane off the West Coast. Working on an LNG export project. With disruptions in Middle East, this company already has relationships with parties in Asia as well as the infrastructure. Just off all-time highs. Thinks it can get to $70. Yield is 2.50%.
(Analysts’ price target is $60.18)
