Particularly well positioned to meet growing demand for energy needed for AI, data centres, and LNG. Industrial demand is also growing. $27B capital program planned, spending $8-9B a year. Increasing infrastructure, which increases cashflow. Yield is 6.1%, expects consistent dividend increases.

Relatively new holding for him. Services industrials, mining, energy. Great parts and service business. Facilities throughout NA. Very well managed, strong balance sheet. Trading at a fairly competitive price. Stock fell on disappointing quarter, which opens up a great opportunity to get in. Attractive yield of 6.4%.

Very interesting company. Makes sulfuric acid, processes spent acids, produces inorganic coagulants for water treatment. A basic industry company, but one of the largest in NA in terms of asset production. 

A lot of people are focusing on semiconductors, but when you make those chips the purity of the sulfuric acid is extremely high, and this company is an integral supplier. This gives it a good competitive advantage especially compared to European peers, as energy prices in Europe are quite high. Should have a good run going forward. Yield is 5.8%.

It did miss cash flow per unit estimates in the Q3. Not by a lot, but a miss is a miss (15.9c vs 16.1c expected). The yield curve, despite Bank of Canada rate cuts, has still managed to shift upward. The recent government moves on immigration likely has some investors worried. Canada's population will actually likely decline for a couple of years now. Finally, IIP has had a premium valuation for some time. Even now it is above the peer group average at 17X cash flow. We would consider it a HOLD but it is getting interesting here. It historically has been one of the better REITs.

CRBG has done well, up 49% this year, yet remains very cheap at 6.7X earnings with a 2.84% yield. The recent quarter was solid with an 18% 'beat' over earnings estimates. Corebridge is well-positioned to reach consensus for double-digit EPS gains in 2025-26 given solid organic growth in its flagship individual annuities business and robust reserve gains in the institutional spread operations. Life insurance sales have also expanded, rising 14% in 3Q. In traditional fixed annuities, deposits have doubled year to date, to $9.5 billion, the surrender pace is down 5 percentage points vs. a year ago and general account assets are up 16% to $58 billion. For fixed-index annuities, the general account has increased 30% vs. 3Q23. Corebridge’s results are also benefiting from recent expense savings of about $400 million and accelerating share buybacks. The share count declined 8% in 3Q. Things continue to look very good here.

Under activists' pressure, the CEO has decided to step down, which was likely because the company decided it was going to lose anyway in the upcoming special shareholders' meeting. DND says it has received expressions of interest from ''inbound parties', at 'attractive premiums' but has paused its strategic review while it focuses on the special meeting and possible revamp of its board. Investors liked the news and the shares rose. But the future of the company is still very much in flux. The meeting is Dec 17 and if Engine Capital wins we could see a new board composition and a new direction for the company. It has potential, but a massive amount of debt. It is probably better off selling itself, in our view, due to its debt and small size, but right now it is hard to call. We would see it as a HOLD until the meeting is resolved and some clarity comes out.

Basic Investing Concept: Preferred Shares

For those who are unfamiliar, a preferred share is a class above a common share, with holders having a higher priority claim to dividends and assets in the event of liquidation. Preferred shares typically pay higher yields than common shares, where the dividend payment can be fixed or floating, tied to a benchmark rate. Preferred shares also do not have voting rights, which is a key feature of common shares. There are other differences and numerous types of preferred shares, but the key concept is higher rights to dividends and assets while still maintaining equity ownership.
