Could you please provide your top utilities stock picks (3 Canadian, 3 U.S.) based on total return for a long-term hold, i.e. 5+ years.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: "TC Energy intends that the initial combined dividends of the two companies will be equivalent to TC Energy’s annual dividend immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, and that over time the combined value of the two companies’ dividends is expected to remain consistent. Dividends will be at the discretion of the respective boards of directors of each company following the Transaction."
Does that mean they will split the dividend? e.g. old dividend 8%. New dividend 4% each company?

Q: Can you please help me with calculating NextEra Energy’s payout ratio. I have been using the annual dividend per share divided by the adjusted EPS. So for 2023, I expect it to be between 60% and 63%, as they expect adjusted earnings to be in the $2.98 to $3.13 range. And they are paying $0.4675 per quarter or $1.87 annually. If I use EPS before adjustments, the payout ratio jumps, and if I use cashflow from operations it drops. Is adjusted EPS the best number to be using? I keep reading that NEE has a conservative payout ratio, would you agree? Thanks for your help.

Q: CJ announced Q2 Financial & Operating results. I am confused that Prod Vol only dropped 700 boe of about 22000 boe. But the Revenue dropped 40% compared to 2022 Q2 along with other financial components. I am surprised with such mismatch but market seems to ignore it. Please review and advise what am I missing here.

Q: I read in the Vancouver Sun that the municipalities in the US have a lot of control over the rate at which energy utilities convert to climate friendly energy sources. A UBC climate change expert weighed in to nudge the Vancouver municipal council who are meeting this week on the subject to stick to their acceleration plan for Fortis (+ maybe others) to adhere to it. Do you have any facts or insight on investor sentiment over the short to medium term?

Q: Hi 5i
I own GXE in a TFSA and in the midst of today's bloodbath the value of my holding is down 45% from when I bought quite some time ago. There's not an overly significant amount of money involved and I can ride it out if that's the thing to do, but I would like to minimize my losses as effectively as possible.
With that in mind, what would you recommend I do - sell, hold or buy some more at the current depressed price, and why?
Thanks 5i, I look forward to your thoughts.
Peter
