Experts that have talked about Trans Canada Corp

BUY38.560Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng.(Market Call Minute.) A nice dividend and a nice steady performer. If you like something conservative, this is a good place to put your money.2008-05-16
TOP PICK38.460John O'Connell, CFA(A Top Pick July 31/07. Up 2%.) Yields 3.75%. Likes its exposure to Ontario’s energy market and is expanding into the US. Trading at a substantial discount.2008-05-15
PAST TOP PICK38.240Norman Levine(A Top Pick May 18/07. Down 1%.) Doing fine until they announced an acquisition of a New York electricity plant. Will be short-term dilutive to earnings and will need an equity financing to pay for it. Pretty clear sailing for the stock from here on.2008-05-12
TOP PICK38.340Brooke ThackrayA good way to play the oil at this point. Fairly good yield at about 3.8%. In a trading range and is near the bottom at this time and will go back up to the top of its range and possibly beyond that.2008-05-09
BUY37.500Jeff ParentThis is a stock people are buying for the dividend. Probably has the capacity to increase their dividend, which is good in the long term.2008-05-02
Comment37.250Peter BriegerCheaper on a price to cash flow basis than Enbridge (ENB-T). Good yield. Feels there is good growth in the pipeline area. Great company. $35 - $36 is not a bad price but remember that interest sensitive stocks will not do that well in a sharply rising interest rate environment.2008-05-01
Comment36.620John ZechnerYou won't go wrong with this one. His problem is that you are paying mid to high teens earnings multiple on single-digit growth. (Actually, lower than that with the acquisition they've taken on.) It's safe and it will pay you a yield, which will be better than in a bond market or cash but you won't get a big win on it.2008-04-28
TOP PICK36.750Laura WallaceGreat dividend yield. Has been very careful about its acquisitions. It has projects with probably about 15 years of visibility. It will never be an exciting grower, but will be a 6% to 8% grower and dividend will grow 6% to 8%. Came up recently on their power facility acquisition that they did in New York. This is a good time to initiate acquisition.2008-04-23
BUY36.750Gordon Higgins, CA, MBA, CFA(Market Call Minute.) Just ought a new asset in the US. They need $1 billion in equity so the stock sold off on that. 8% opportunity.2008-04-17
TOP PICK36.440Gavin GrahamStock bombed last week because they bought International Grid, the biggest power station in NYC. This was a big overreaction. In the meantime, you get 5% yield. Low risk way of playing the resource boom.2008-04-09
BUY36.440Don LatoThe downside has come because of their purchase of the power plant in NYC and the need to have it financed. It may not be a huge mover to the upside in the short term but this is a good entry point. At 15X earnings and almost 4% yield, this is a good core holding.2008-04-09
DON'T BUY36.090Brian Acker, CAUtilities on both sides of the border are very overvalued. His model price is $31.90, which is a 12% negative differential.2008-04-03
HOLD36.300Peter BriegerLikes the pipeline area. Inter Pipeline (IPL.UN-T) and this one are 2 of the cheapest on a price/cash flow basis. Recently made an acquisition of a New York City power plant. This will cause some dilution, $.04 this year and probably $.07 to $.08 next year. Will also have to issue 32.5 million shares, which is a 5%/6% dilution. Wouldn't buy until you see the charts forming a base.2008-04-02
BUY39.550David BurrowsYield oriented companies make a lot of sense in this market. You wouldn’t want to see this stock trade below $37. Set $35 as a stop. Fundamentally the companies in pretty good shape. Could reach $45 in the next year.2008-03-31
BUY38.060Robert FloydNew proposal for a new pipeline has been approved. Very well managed company. Is a good price point to step in. A good place to sit out a recession.2008-03-20
PAST TOP PICK39.750David Baskin(A Top Pick Feb 13/07. Up 8% including dividends.) In a market like this, stocks like this are terrific things to have. Increases its dividend regularly. Stable businesses.2008-02-19
TOP PICK39.630Laura WallaceVery good dividend yield and just increased it by 6%. A lot of its earnings are coming from a regulated base, but in this market environment it is a very good place to have some equity money. Earnings were about 8% to 10%. Have growth opportunities on capital projects out through 2012/2014.2008-02-15
BUY38.950John StephensonHis overall outlook on the market is that it is going to be tough sledding for 6 months to a year so you want to be defensive and in cash and regulated utilities. Extremely well managed.2008-02-08
BUY39.340Alex RuusA good, solid blue-chip stock. Kind of an indirect frontier oil/gas play. If the McKenzie goes ahead, it will probably be the primary pipeline operator.2008-02-04
BUY38.880Norman LevineVery pleased with their earnings and with the dividend increase. Loves companies that raise dividends on a regular basis. The perfect type of stock to own in this kind of environment. Will benefit from dropping interest rates. Not economically sensitive.2008-01-29
BUY38.000David BurrowsIf you are going to own equities through a difficult economy and market, yield is something you should look at. There are a bunch of companies in the Canadian market that have hung on pretty well. Look at TransCanada (TRP-T), Transalta (TA-T), Fortis (FTS-T) or an Enbridge (ENB).2008-01-28
TOP PICK39.960David BaskinThis company has paid a rising dividend steadily. $10 billion in revenues. The Alaskan pipeline gives it some growth potential. No exposure to the US. Limited exposure to volatile segments.2008-01-14
TOP PICK39.900Laura Wallace3.4% dividend. Looks like they may get the Alaskan pipeline, which means there is guaranteed growth out for many years. In a difficult market environment, this is a great company to own. Trades at 18, 19 times earnings, which is high on a historical basis but cheap relative to where it has been in the last couple of years.2008-01-11
BUY40.300Norman LevineHas been a great performer in a poor market and thinks it will continue to be. It combines the safety of having regulated assets with probably the best growth potential of utility stocks in Canada. Participating in a number of projects in the US and Canada.2008-01-07
BUY40.300Michael DecterAt the moment, they are the only certified applicant to build the Alaskan pipeline. He thinks the Alaskan pipeline is large and a bit of a political quagmire so wouldn't buy it for this but would buy it for a number of other reasons.2008-01-07
BUY40.070David DriscollMade a US acquisition, which he likes. Any good quality stock in Canada like this one and is yielding 3% or greater, when you gross up the dividend you'll end up earning more on a current cash basis in 1 year than you would on T-bills or 10-year government bonds.2007-12-06
BUY39.540Norman LevineA nice safe stock to own. Decent dividend and good growth rates. Very capable management. Run conservatively and raises its dividend regularly. It's the type of stock money will flow into as markets weaken.2007-12-03
BUY on WEAKNESS39.930Michael DecterFully priced for the moment. If you have a 5-year perspective, it's probably a good Buy. Try being very patient and you may get it at around $38, but the current price is fine.2007-11-12
DON'T BUY40.510Don LatoHas done well of late and a little bit of that is because of a flight to quality. Good yield. Pretty rich at about 18X next year’s earnings for a very limited growth.2007-11-08
BUY40.180Peter BriegerSuffered because of higher rates earlier in the year. Overpriced in relation to the historical price/earnings ratio. However on a cash/price flow basis it is one of the cheapest. On his radar screen to Buy for his Income Accounts because of the good yield. Would be a long term Buyer here.2007-11-06
TOP PICK40.060Patrick KimThis is going to be a great industry to be in. Investors will value stability a lot more going forward. There will be a sector rotation eventually into the ultra defensive names.2007-11-02
HOLD38.240Michael SprungGood holding for a 2 year outlook. The royalties issue will have little affect on the pipelines themselves. Fairly good yield, very well run company. 2007-10-26
BUY38.210Robert FloydA decent play with a decent yield and showing modest growth. If you have an income portfolio, this should be part of the package.2007-10-12
BUY37.120Paul Gardner, CFAUtilities really haven't done much over the last 3 or 4 months. In the volatile situations, people tend to go to utilities, so it is a safe haven. Consistent dividends and have lowered their costs.2007-10-03
BUY36.750Norman LevineHasn't done much for a while. Canadian pipelines/utilities have come off and really haven't responded. In the US, they have come back up. A good place to earn a rate of return on the dividend, but longer term, the growth is at the top end of Canadian pipe/utilities sector.2007-10-02
DON'T BUY36.470David CockfieldHas been taking a rest. Prefers to buy it in the $33 range. Nice dividend. Good potential down the road, but not a huge amount of growth in the next little while. Earnings will probably pick up in 08 and 09.2007-09-28
TOP PICK36.000Patrick KimA great blue chip name. Worries about the US economy, slowdowns and lower interest rates, drives the flight of money to quality. Good growth. 3.8% yield.2007-09-21
TOP PICK36.680Norman LevinePipeline company with electric generation as well. Very stable and very secure earnings growth. Diversifying into US pipelines.2007-08-29
TOP PICK36.590John O'Connell, CFAStable income. Attractive dividend income. Trades at reasonable valuations. Acquisition from last year will become accretive very soon.2007-08-27
BUY36.210John StephensonGoing forward, this is a name you will want to hold. Prefers over Enbridge (ENB-T). There will be more visible growth in this one over the next 12 months. After that, Enbridge would be the one to hold because of it's a better growth.2007-08-21
BUY36.510Norman LevineMostly utility owned pipelines. It is a growth utility by expanding its own network and making acquisitions. Quality company. Attractive dividend yield at 3.73%.2007-08-15
PAST TOP PICK38.200Laura Wallace(A Top Pick Aug 21/06. Up 9%.) Still likes. Came off its recent highs as interest rates rose. High dividend yield. Thinks the whole power infrastructure area is very interesting.2007-08-02
HOLD37.770Veronika HirschHigh dividend yield. Likes it better than the banks right now.2007-08-01
TOP PICK38.500John O'Connell, CFAWell run. Great dividend yield. Reasonable valuation. Earnings growth likely be around 10%. Acquired another pipeline asset about a year ago and those earnings will be coming on side. Under pressure because of concerns of interest rates. He does not believe interest rates will rise much more.2007-07-31
BUY38.980Ian Nakamoto3.5% yield. Hasn't done a lot in the last year, but thinks there is more upside.2007-07-24
BUY38.520Norman LevineGood long-term outlook. In the near term, it has suffered as interest rates have moved up. Yield of 3.6%. For a long-term investor, he would recommend a Buy.2007-07-18
PARTIAL BUY36.670David DriscollInterest-rate sensitive, so the stock has been dropping. As yields have been rising on the 10 yr governments, you start losing some of the benefit of the dividend yield. This is a very good time to start picking away at this stock.2007-06-22
TOP PICK37.230John O'Connell, CFAA chicken way of playing the energy sector. Nice dividend yield. He is not concerned about interest rates going significantly higher. Recent pullback has provided a good entry point. There should be some decent dividend and earnings growth over time.2007-06-19
HOLD36.800Norman LevineCompany is executing very well. Might have some more downside because of Interest rates, but long term is worth it.2007-06-12
DON'T BUY37.130Brian Acker, CA-7% differential. Utilities, telephone companies, high dividend paying equities in terms of Canada, are very expensive. Interest rates scare will cause these types of companies problems.2007-06-07
BUY37.750John StephensonHas been a historically natural gas, but is now is doing more oil, has a stake of Ontario Power in the Kincardine area. Where there is a chronic shortage. Huge amount of value that's not built into the stock.2007-06-06
WAIT38.350Bruce CampbellPossible pull back, interest rate related. Might see a chance to buy this at under $38 in the next few months.2007-06-05
BUY39.530Norman LevineOutlook continues to be good. Likes the growth that it has in front of it. Expects the dividend will continue to grow.2007-05-30
Comment39.790Laura WallaceThinks that the power generation infrastructure spending is a really great place to be on and is a decade long play. Excellent dividend yield. Trading at the top of its multiple range2007-05-23
TOP PICK39.760Patrick KimFor a yield investor that has a diversified portfolio of dividend paying stocks, this should be one of your holdings. One of the best-positioned utilities.2007-05-14
BUY39.570Bruce CampbellBoring pipeline company. Pays a 3%-4% dividend and grows 6 to 8%. In this kind of market, that’s not bad. Good defensive play.2007-05-09
PAST TOP PICK39.710David Baskin(A Top Pick May 25/06. Up 22%.) Have good opportunities in both the pipeline and power generation businesses. Attractive dividend. Still a Buy.2007-05-08
TOP PICK39.570John StephensonAn interest rate play plus it is a cash flow generating machine with its main-line pipeline system. Also into storage of natural gas. Has a big stake in the Bruce Nuclear facility.2007-04-30
HOLD40.140John ZechnerProbably have a little bit more growth than some of their competitors. A lot of the valuation of utilities and pipeline companies are pretty seriously high level. Owns a little for the yield and defensive capabilities.2007-04-25
Comment39.280Ben StadelmannA real bedrock value type of stock. Pays a good dividend.2007-04-20
BUY38.030Norman LevineLikes its expansion in the US. A defensive company with growth characteristics. Likes the dividend yield and it will be growing.2007-04-16
BUY38.000Michael SprungIn the longer term, there will be some expansion of pipeline assets, etc. and they will benefit. Stable cash flow and earnings. Good yield.2007-04-11
WEAK BUY38.410Stephen CarlinHas some reasonable growth. 3.5% dividend yield. Earnings growth is flattish. Prefers banks which give you a similar dividend yield, better earnings growth, 5 multiple points less and much stronger ROE.2007-04-05
BUY38.600John ZechnerLikes it because of its defensive characteristics. One of the few companies in this area that is showing some growth. Valuation is that the high end. Decent dividend.2007-04-02
BUY38.350John O'Connell, CFAA quasi-utility play. Yield is in the 4% area. Well-run company. Has defensive pipeline attributes to it. Also has a uranium play through power generation.2007-03-30
TOP PICK39.070John StephensonGrowth story, plus an interest-rate story. Clean balance sheet. Experienced management. Defensive.2007-03-27
HOLD39.500Peter BriegerPipelines generically are one of the great growth stories. As a North American demand for safe energy increases and the increased production in the oil sands, there will be more and more traffic.2007-03-21
BUY38.380Laura WallaceFairly defensive due to its dividend and its record of increasing dividends. Trading at the higher and of its multiple range. Believes the energy infrastructure structure will be very strong over the next decade.2007-03-14
Comment38.090Bruce CampbellPrefers Enbridge (ENB-T) because it has 1% to 3% higher earnings growth over the next 5 years. This one is not bad. It has a dividend and is a safe place to be.2007-03-06
BUY37.690Norman LevineMade a major US acquisition in the pipeline area. Pay for it with a share issue. That brought the price of the stock down. This gives you an opportunity to buy.2007-02-27
Comment38.150Michael SprungWould lean more towards Enbridge (ENB-T) for growth.2007-02-20
TOP PICK38.010David BaskinA very solid company with a predictable dividend of 3.5%. Core holding for all of his clients.2007-02-13
BUY38.030Norman LevineRecently issued new stocks. If you don't own shares, this would be a good time to buy.2007-02-12
BUY38.140Veronika HirschProposing to issue new shares at $38 a share, to acquire a major pipeline in the US. This is not a cheap stock, but has a fairly good yield of about 3.5%. These stocks do fairly well as so many people are looking for these yields.2007-02-07
BUY39.030Laura WallaceA great long-term investment. 2nd time in 12 months they have increased the dividends. With no changes coming in income trusts, companies with high dividend stocks and able to increase them consistently will be where investors go.2007-01-31
HOLD39.030Norman LevineHave made some major acquisitions and need to raise money. Good yield. Getting pretty fully priced here. If it goes up anymore, he might consider letting some of his goal.2007-01-31
BUY38.720David BaskinStill buying for new clients. With the demise of the income trust sector, people are looking for nice safe places to get a yield.2007-01-10
TOP PICK40.710Gavin GrahamA great play on virtually anything to do with energy, such as power stations in Alberta, power lines. 3.2% dividend. Just bought El Paso’s pipelines which means they have a means of shipping oil from the oil sands to the US south. Have :LNG in Quebec.2006-12-28
DON'T BUY40.770Bruce CampbellOwns Enbridge (ENB-T), but they can be viewed pretty similarly. After the trust scenario, a lot of money moved into companies like this and banks, so it’s moved up. From here, the multiples are kind of high. Expect it will go basically sideways.2006-12-21
SELL38.970Peter BriegerAlthough the street has a love affair with Transcanada (TRP-T) and Enbridge (ENB-T), P/E ratios and yield for these 2 are ridiculous compared to pipeline trusts. Would move his money.2006-11-29
BUY36.900Ian NakamotoGood high paying dividend. Expects the Bank of Canada will reduce interest rates next year and high dividend stocks will be in demand.2006-11-07
PAST TOP PICK36.340Norman Levine(A Top Pick July 11/06. Up 10.4%.) 3.5% dividend. Interest sensitive and has growth as well. Would still buy at this price.2006-10-31
TOP PICK34.960David DriscollVery interest rate sensitive. Besides shipping natural gas, they also have investments in alternative energy. Yields 3.7%.2006-10-20
DON'T BUY34.430Brian Acker, CAHas never liked TransCanada (TRP-T) Enbridge (ENB-T) or Transalta (TA-T). His model price is $31.71, a -9% differential. Finding more value elsewhere.2006-10-17
BUY34.240Gordon Higgins, CA, MBA, CFATrading around 16 X earnings. There is a regulated side, but they have a lot of unregulated where you are getting the growth. Long-term, they are the ones hoping to build the McKenzie Delta pipeline. Good yield and reasonable price.2006-10-12
BUY35.050David CockfieldGood, long-term growth prospects. They will be in an expansion phase for decades. Pays a reasonable dividend. Won't be hit by various cycles. Prefers to buy at $33.2006-10-05
TOP PICK35.650John O'Connell, CFAA defensive play. Yields about 3.6%. Trades at a reasonable market multiple. Very solid, disciplined business.2006-10-03
PAST TOP PICK35.210Norman LevineIt has increased since he picked this stock. Good yield, growth prospect and a good place to be. He continues to own.2006-09-27
BUY34.650Bruce CampbellPrefers Enbridge (ENB-T) because the growth is a little bit better but this is the same with a 3 % or 4% dividend and not growth oriented, but a safer way to have exposure to long-term growth in Mackenzie Valley.2006-09-11
BUY34.980Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng.Expects pipelines to do reasonably well over the next little while. This is a conservative stock that doesn't move very quickly. As this is an interest sensitive stock it should get a lift as interest rates have pretty well peaked out. Has a good shot at operating the Mackenzie Delta pipeline.2006-09-08
BUY35.380Paul Gardner, CFAIn a low interest rate environment, utility stocks outperform. This company is the largest gas transmission business in Canada. The Mackenzie Delta and the Alaskan pipeline are going to consume a lot of their capital expenditures. They are seeing a lot of competition from Alliance partners coming into Chicago.2006-09-05
WEAK BUY35.770Martin Hubbes, CFATrading at a P/E multiple above its historic range. Good company, but not cheap.2006-09-01
BUY36.350David CockfieldThe general belief is that the pipeline business is going to boom for years and years. A US pipeline, Kinder Morgan, is going private so investors that want to stay in a pipeline will have to look at this one. 3% yield.2006-08-30
TOP PICK35.080Laura WallacePower generation is going to continue to be one of the key areas for the balance of the decade. This company is very well positioned on a North American basis. Good dividend yield at 3.7%. A good defensive part of the portfolio.2006-08-21
HOLD34.910Robert FloydHas popped up a little bit over the last month or so. Offers a decent yield. Modest growth.2006-08-18
BUY on WEAKNESS34.890David CockfieldLikes to buy this one under $33. Multiple is not bad and it has a reasonable yield. Prospects for the pipeline industry in general are excellent.2006-08-16
DON'T BUY35.350Brian Acker, CAModel price is $30, a -14.5% differential. His model price continues to erode.2006-08-02
PAST TOP PICK34.200David Baskin(A Top Pick May 25/06. Up 6%.) Like it for the yield and that they keep increasing the dividend. Likes their growth prospects with the Mackenzie Valley and with increasing production of petroleum products in western Canada.2006-07-27
BUY33.520Norman LevineAn interest sensitive stock because of their dividend yield and they work on a rate of return basis on many other pipelines. Now that interest rates look like they are flattening out, it should do well.2006-07-25
DON'T BUY33.810Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTAIn the longer term, you want exposure in pipelines. Pretty much defining a trading range between $31.50 and $34. Not an ideal time to buy.2006-07-24
