John ZechnerKeyera CorpKEY.TOWEAK BUYMay 30, 2023

The dividend is safe. What makes KEY different from the pipeline stocks is that KEY carries some commodity risk; they're a little tied to the price of the commodity they transports. The PE has declined and it pays a decent dividend.

You might be interested:

HOLD

Utility style company with reliable dividend. Lots of share issuance - a concern. Better options for investors in markets. Lots of a debt impacted by rising interest rates. 

TOP PICK

Mostly nat gas plants and processing. Critical infrastructure. A great, steady mid-stream business. 10-year lows on valuation. Yield is 5.96%.

(Analysts’ price target is $35.57)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 28/22, Up 5%)

Steady dividend in a noisy macro time, without a lot of risk. Beat on Q2. Low leverage and payout ratio. Expects higher valuations once market becomes comfortable with Key Access Pipeline.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 27/22, Down 7%)

Trades at a decent 16x and 6.4% dividend and decent growth rate. It remains a good play on LNG.

BUY

Through its investments, has shown itself to be much more than a conventional pipeline company. Held up better than others in the space. Good things for the future. Happy to hold.

BUY

Not buying for growth clients, but more for a balanced and income-focused portfolio. All the pipelines are down, but he still expects them to raise dividends going forward.

BUY

His preference in the space, with its new KAPS program. See his Top Picks.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 06/23, Down 1%)

The market's precarious, so he's just looking for stocks that pay a dividend. It's a sideways chart. His stop point is a line in the sand, so if it starts to break down, he'll be out. Buy near the bottom of the channel and you'll be OK. Yield is 6.3%.

BUY

He's very positive about LNG Canada, not because gas prices will shoot to the moon, but due to gas volumes, if they ever or when they finish the Coastal Gaslink. After a decade or more, Canada is finally selling nat gas abroad. Finally. Really likes Keyera. Infrastructure in western Canada is underpriced considering opportunities in the coming years.

BUY

One of the better stocks in the energy space. Relative strength is really accelerating. Energy's a big part of the TSX, so you always want to own some. Doesn't mind adding exposure, has the defensive dividend. 

TOP PICK

Excellent long term business prospects with legacy assets.
Building pattern happening in technical analysis. 
Good for the short term with strong dividends.

BUY

Great company with excellent assets.
Key infrastructure that is very hard to replicate.
Perfect company for the long term shareholder.
Cheap share price with ~6% yield.
P/E ratio at 14.

BUY
Dividend safe, should increase. One of the better managed companies in Canada. He's long admired it. Can hold for the long term, not as expensive as it was. Attractive at these levels. Yield is 6.6%.
BUY
Raise dividend next 2-3 quarters? Big dividend already. Modelling dividend growth around 7%. Good payout ratio, reasonable balance sheet, very good value here. Don't buy just as a bet on a dividend raise. Recession-resilient, nat gas tailwinds. Despite everything, will probably see dividend growth. Competitive yield among energy infrastructure plays. Catalysts for growth.
