As of Jun 19, 2026. Market Open.
Largest pipeline operator in North America. ~7% yield very strong. Expected to continue growing dividend. Recent weakness in energy prices reason for share price weakness. Assets very valuable as hard to replicated. Pause and/or falling interest rates will be good for business. Good for income oriented investors.
He doesn't think a 5% weighting in a stock is crazy, it's very reasonable. If you have a lot of conviction in those companies, then that's where your weighting should be. Yield is around 7%. Won't reduce the dividend unless something really terrible happens. Extremely mature company, will grow with GDP plus or minus, highly levered.
Investors own for the dividend. He wouldn't overweight his portfolio with it, but makes sense for a certain demographic.
Difficult couple of years with interest rates. Big acquisition required issuing equity and taking on debt. Acquisition needs to be integrated, but they're pros at that. Diversifies its business. Stock's bounced back since then. No problem maintaining dividend. Becoming more US-focused, Canada's regulations make things too difficult.
He likes the pipelines. Valuations have plunged since 2015. No growth here, but trade at 12x earnings and pays a great dividend of 7.2%. They problems like their Michigan pipeline, but solved it. ENB is not tied to the commodity price in the oil they move. A great, safe play. Pembina is his #1 choice here and TC Energy is #3.
