Valuation

BUY
Emera Inc

It has struggled and has more debt than others in the sector. He is expecting them to sell off some of their assets which should help, along with rate cuts. The dividend is safe. It is at a good entry point.

DON'T BUY
Emera Inc

Return on capital predictable, but replacement cost of assets very high. Good for defensive investors, but not going to appreciate capital at high rate. Lots of capital required to grow business creates situation of low returns. Politicians and consumers putting pressure on margins of business. Falling interest rates good for the business (high debt load in business). Overall, better options for investors out there.

WATCH
Emera Inc

Could hold for dividend. Technically, can't argue with the downtrend. Hopefully, stock will find support around $45. If yes, there's consolidation and maybe downtrend is over. Wouldn't jump all over it, there's perhaps hope if doesn't break $45.

Editor's Note: The question was on utilities and her response included Fortis and Emera. Utilities are lower volatility in the long term and come with a nice yield. There is more growth ahead that we haven't seen for the past 5 to 10 years. Rising rates give a better ROE. She likes Fortis and Emera with Emera showing a little more growth and a yield of 6%.

TOP PICK
Emera Inc

It is a different company now with more assets in the U.S. than in Canada. In Florida they can ask for higher rates just based on its population growth. They are targeting 7% rate-based growth and 4 to 5% dividend growth. It is defensive in nature and there is a big opportunity because of its very low valuation.        Buy 8  Hold 6  Sell 2

TOP PICK
Emera Inc
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

EMA is Nova Scotia's largest utility, operating across Canada and the north east US.  Operating income has grown over 11% annually for the past five years and EPS has grown by 40%.  It trades at 1.3x book and pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 60% of cash flow.  We recommend placing a stop at $42, looking to achieve $57 -- upside potential of 16%.  Yield 5.6%

(Analysts’ price target is $57.00)

STRONG BUY
Emera Inc

All utilities have seen share prices fall since the spring, being bond proxies given rising interest rates. People are buying bonds, and selling utilities. Now is a good entry point at 15x PE, and pays over a 6% dividend yield, which has grown 17 straight years. Low risk, because 95% of their business are regulated and there's little cyclicality (recession-resilient).

Utilities
PARTIAL BUY
Emera Inc

All energy stocks, from renewables to this one, are down. Pays a roughly 6% dividend, and it's safe. Generally, you can start to buy these. It's all about interest rates, which continue to rise. Dividend stocks are competing with GICs and other bank deposits offering 6% yields. Doubts that any utilities will cut dividends, but the share prices may come down further. You can buy a tranche, cautiously.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Emera Inc

Great Canadian company.
Hard assets, but current share price too high.
Waiting for share price to fall ~$10.
Very safe dividend.

TOP PICK
Emera Inc

Electricity demand in North America continues to rise. Emera will sort out issues in Nova Scotia. Their New Meico and Tampa centres are growing, needing more electricity. It pays over a 5% dividend.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

EMA will experience lower earnings this year, with a recovery in 2024. Growth is relatively low, but this is common for the industry. The Q1 was fine and exceeded expectations. We see nothing overly wrong with the company. Payout ratio is about 73%, so there is not huge room for dividend increases, but this may change next year. We think it is mostly a sector and higher-interest-rates rate problem. The stock is up 4% this year, more or les inline with the TSX's return.

COMMENT
Emera Inc

The big question is: What will happen to interest rates? These stocks are sensitive to them. Rates have to rise above inflation in order to slow the latter. We are not there yet. If inflation takes off (50/50 chance), then Emera won't do well. This is worth $39.
