This summary was created by AI, based on 6 opinions in the last 12 months.

Atco Ltd, with the symbol ACO.X-T, is a lesser-known utility business in the Far North with a notable 20-year history of dividend increases. However, experts have varying opinions on its performance. It has seen insider buying and offers a 5.42% yield, but is under pressure due to its heavy reliance on utilities. The stock has experienced a net investment loss of 6% and is currently trading close to its book value, with analysts predicting a potential fall in the stock price. Rising interest rates are also a concern, though some experts believe it is a good long-term investment.

A nice dividend player, though little known for its utility business in the Far North. Over the past year, they've returned only 0.5% compounded annualized. It pays a 5% dividend, but it doesn't grow much compared to peers.  Does not return enough capital for him. Are better utilities.

Under pressure, as it's comprised mainly of utilities. Owns 53% of Canadian Utilities, representing 80% of earnings. Interest sensitive. Also involved in real estate and infrastructure rentals. Housing, logistics, emergency shelter. Insider buying. Yield is 5.42%.

He targets this where the stock price is now. But he sees a negative signal in the wider market, so this could fall $5 to $30. How far can interest rates rise (he expects them to) in the next 6-12 months?

(A Top Pick May 20/22, Down 7%)

Has 20 years of dividend increases. But rising interest rates are competition for dividend-paying utilities. That said, long term this is a good company.

TOP PICK
Atco Ltd
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

We again reiterate this Canadian infrastructure utility, who just acquired a sizeable portfolio of wind and solar assets in Alberta and Ontario as a TOP PICK.  They inked a 15 year renewable energy deal with Microsoft. It trades at 1.2x book and at 12x earnings. We like that cash reserves are growing while paying down debt and buying shares.  It has a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 55% of cash flow. We recommend maintaining the trailing the stop at $40, looking to achieve $50 -- upside over 16%. Yield 4.2%

Atco Ltd
Boring company, but outperformed the market this year. Decent yield, not high growth. Decent player over time. He'd prefer pure utility stocks, like CU. OK at this time.

This is a cheaper way into Canadian utilities. It is very close to its long term low which is its book value. Has a slightly smaller dividend yield. It puts some defensiveness in your portfolio. Hold for the long term. Buy 4 Hold 2 Sell 1

No growth in this company and does not own anymore. If rate base doesn't grow, profitability and dividend won't grow. Growth rate not offsetting inflation. Not a good company to own.
