COMMENT
Working from home has increased demand on data and telecom systems. Demand on networks has increased dramatically and not stopping any time soon. Looking out 3-4 years, we'll probably double amount of data created in all of history. Data centres, cloud computing, cell tower storage will all increase to keep up with consumption demand and bandwidth.
COMMENT
With equities at historically high multiples, is it hard to find value? Yes. Multiples climbed dramatically in 2020. So he wants to focus on earnings growth and dividend growth. A good place to be if there are any hiccups in the recovery, but also to gain leverage to an accelerating economy.
COMMENT
What about the Biden plan for infrastructure? The new stimulus package will have trouble passing. Biden has touted infrastructure spending a lot. We'll have to see how much progress is made in infrastructure. In the US, building infrastructure doesn't depend on federal intervention, as states can enter into public-private deals, and many have already done so.
BUY

RNW vs. INE RNW depends on drop-down from the parent for growth. Whereas INE is an independent power producer. At current valuations, he prefers RNW. Pretty good visibility over the next few years. INE is more expensive and has good prospects, but its valuation doesn't have as much upside.

DON'T BUY

COMMENT
A company that might benefit from EV and installing charging stations? There is ChargePoint, but you're paying 10x sales. Charging stations will be monetized eventually and very competitive. He prefers to go through the renewable energy developers, as they have estabished track records, are cashflow positive, and without astronomical valuations.
DON'T BUY

As an infrastructure play. Likes it, but his preferred way to play cell tower space is through cell tower companies like American Tower or SBAC. There's more leverage and the business is more stable.

BUY

BIP.UN vs. BAM Strong earnings. Sale of Enwave gave them a healthy profit. BAM is also a great company to invest in, especially as it's trading at a discount to NAV. But with BAM, you get exposure to BPY, BEP, and the rest of the suite. BIP is more of an operational manager. If you want more diversity, BAM gives you that. Having both in your portfolio gives you full exposure to the infrastructure asset class.

HOLD

A class 1 rail in the US, but on the smaller side. On the quality of the assets, prefers Union Pacific or CSX in the US. If this is a long-term hold, a good place to be. Strong name, irreplaceable asset. Cyclical. Yet CP is his #1 choice in North America.
