As of Jun 19, 2026. Market Open.
Continues to de-risk balance sheet. Growing global export margins. Low cost of capital, high returns. Acquisition looks high quality, synergistic. Low 11x valuation, growing at 11%. Sees dividend growing at 5%. Commodity tailwinds of more robust global exports plus nat gas price. Yield is 4.34%.
(Analysts’ price target is $32.00)Derisking balance sheet. Very strong utility growth. Lots of low-capital, high-return, midstream growth opportunities. Low valuation of 11x, with a 10.7% growth rate. Risk profile of a utility with the upside of LNG. Building out global exports is a key theme. Nice yield of 4.33%, growing around 5%.
(Analysts’ price target is $31.79)Has owned this for a long time. He added in the past year when shares were in the dumps, and has seen a nice upside in the past year as it pays a nice 4.5% dividend. Recent earnings were decent and they're paying down debt. They had a favourable ruling in the U.S. over a pipeline. Selling an asset will accelerate debt repayments. Buy a half position and do the DRIP. You don't have to be bullish in natural gas to buy this, not as much. The technicals show nat gas is basing nicely. ALA collects a toll of whatever flows through their pipeline, but of course the more volume the better
(Analysts’ price target is $31.79)Had a strong Q1 and showing progress in de-risking global exports. LNG growth and strong utility growth. Low capital yet high return midstream. He expects 9.5% growth and trades at a reasonable 10.2x PE. Pays a nearly 5% dividend. Unfairly ignored by dividends. Higher interest rates have chased money away while money has poured into the FAANGs.
(Analysts’ price target is $31.15)
Has a small Short on this. He looks for 2 primary things in stocks. Valuation and price momentum. Valuation tells you that it is a good time to Buy from a price perspective. Price momentum tells you that the timing is right. Unfortunately, this company has both those things going against it. Views 17X EBITDA as being expensive. Doesn’t see a huge amount of downside as it has a good support of the yield and they are doing the right thing to repair the balance sheet. There are better opportunities elsewhere.
