Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I hold some Interpipe, Transalta Renewables (RNW ) and Pembina (PPL). All still at gains, but gains are eroding on a consistent basis. All are held for income as opposed to capital gains. Do you see any distribution cuts for these pipeline/utilities in the next couple years? Are recent distribution increases justified or misleading attempts to support stock prices? What is your opinion of the high-yielding pipes/renewables?

Thank-you

Q: What is the payout ratio for TA? It's yield is 13.408% and pays out a quarterly amount of 0.18 for a total of 0.72 per year. It earns 0.66 a share per year. Therefore I figure the payout is 109%. Is this how the pay out rate is calculated. If I am correct. how can a company sustain paying out more than it earns, thanks

Q: Hi team, I am looking at telcos. I currently hold Rogers and was thinking of switching out to Telus or BCE. I am curious for your input on the metrics. On Globe Investor, Rogers metrics are less favourable than both Telus and BCE on Forward PE, Price to Book and Debt to Equity. On top of that BCE and Telus have a higher dividend yield and a better 5 year record of raising the dividend. All that being said, RCI has performed well lately, what am I missing? Why would the market pay up for RCI, why would one buy Rogers instead of BCE or Telus? rob

Q: Hello - Would I be correct in saying that the price for Fortis is presently cheap? When I look back over a 5 year period the P/E ratio appears to be at its lowest level right now. Would you agree?

I have no data that goes back further than that so I don't know what the average P/E would be over a longer time frame.
