Best Canadian Stocks: Veresen sustains big growth and high dividend

Investment Counsellor

Every Tuesday we bring you “Best Canadian Stocks” from one of our three newsletters featuring Canadian stocks—The Successful Investor, Stock Pickers Digest and Canadian Wealth Advisor.

Veresen trades at a high multiple to its per-share cash flow, but it has strong growth prospects and a high dividend yield. We think it has gains ahead.

VERESEN (Toronto symbol VSN; www.vereseninc.com) owns pipelines, power plants and gas-processing facilities across North America.

A major holding is 50% of the Alliance gas line, which runs 3,000 kilometres between Chicago and Fort St. John, B.C. Veresen also owns the Alberta Ethane Gathering System, 42.7% of the Aux Sable NGL plant and the Hythe/Steeprock natural gas gathering and processing complex in the Cutbank Ridge region of Alberta and B.C.

In the quarter ended December 31, 2014, Veresen’s cash flow per share fell 7.1%, to $0.26 from $0.28 a year earlier.


At a time of uncertainty…confident conservative investing

Released last week, the latest issue of Canadian Wealth Advisor identifies a pair of oil and gas stocks that are buys for conservative investors despite the drop in oil prices. And it gives subscribers updates and recommendations on 20 other conservative investments.

>Pat McKeough’s approach to smart conservative investing gives you two big advantages. Your investments are safer when the market is down—and you’re in a stronger position to profit when the markets move up. Pat’s safety-first philosophy is simple and always effective. You can achieve surprisingly powerful results through income and capital gains. And you never need to take big risks.

Stock picks: Ruby pipeline offers natural gas source for Jordan Cove LNG project

In late 2014, the company paid $1.43 billion for 50% of the Ruby pipeline system, which runs 680 miles from Wyoming to Oregon. Partner Kinder Morgan operates the system, which generates steady cash flow.

Veresen is also moving ahead with plans to build the $6.8-billion Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas plant in Oregon. The Ruby pipeline terminates at the state’s Malin hub, so it will give Veresen a nearby natural gas source for Jordan Cove, if needed. If regulators give the project final approval, Jordan Cove could start up and be exporting LNG to Asia by 2019.

The company’s longer-term outlook is sound. The stock trades at 16.2 times Veresen’s forecast 2015 cash flow of $1.03 a share. It yields a high 6.0%, and the dividend appears safe.

Recommendation in Canadian Wealth Advisor: BUY.
