The Wall Street Journal reported on lead sheafing (a health hazard) on cables in the U.S. This will costs ATA& and Verizon a lot to replace those cables. Canada is different with more advanced, newer cables, so the problem is smaller here. Rather, subscriber numbers, profitability and competition--all three look decent to him. Pays a 6.8% dividend which means doubling your money in 10 years. We could see a general pullback, so buy a tranche now.
Likes the managers whom he recently met. Last year was crazy because of European gas prices, especially in the UK where they operate raised their expenses. They're in a stable business and are well-run. Lots of free cash flow that could lead to buybacks and/or dividends. He added on dip earlier this year. KBL is adding capacity that could raise the dividend.
The premier natural gas infrastructure company in North America. It pays over a 7% dividend. The Coastal Gaslink overhand is behind us. It's fine that they sell some assets to fund growth. Exporting nat gas beyond North America will double in volume in the coming decade and TRP is incredibly set up to facilitate this. Even at a modest 2% dividend growth rate and share growth, that's still 9-10% compounded annual returns.
(Analysts’ price target is $60.26)It's gone wrong for him in the past, but opportunities still continue to grow--they're the only maker of EV buses in North America that suits the Buy-America rule. Covid and supply chains were tough for the company, sure, but better days lie ahead. There's less competition and more opportunity. He bought a lot of shares at $9. The valuation should be better. Financing issues are sorted out.
(Analysts’ price target is $11.83)
Last August, they had some writedowns based on fixed-price contracts in various places. The shares came off. They sold their stake in the Bermuda Airport at a great price, and sold a road-building division. Also good is that they may build a full-scale nuclear reactor in Ontario; they have nuclear expertise. Pays a 6% dividend. A quality company with little risk.
