TECK RESOURCES LTD., $36.93, Toronto symbol TCK.B, is our “Stock of the Year” for 2013. Resource companies are highly cyclical. Teck fell to just $3.35 in March 2009 as the credit crisis hurt its ability to refinance the $9.8 billion U.S. in short-term loans it took on the year before as part of its $13.6-billion (Canadian) purchase of Fording Coal. At that time, Teck’s market cap (the value of all outstanding shares) was just $1.6 billion. However, rising commodity prices helped it find new lenders, and Teck rose as high as $65 in January 2011. The stock has moved down since then due to the slowing global economy. However, we feel the company’s high-quality, long-lasting reserves and potentially higher commodity prices in 2013 make it a particularly attractive buy right now....

TRANSCANADA CORP. $45.12 (Toronto symbol TRP; Shares outstanding: 705.0 million; Market cap: $31.8 billion; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; Dividend yield: 3.9%; www.transcanada.com) operates 68,500 kilometres of natural gas pipelines in Canada and the U.S. It also has interests in over 10,800 megawatts of power generation, including the Bruce Power nuclear plant.
In the three months ended September 30, 2012, TransCanada’s evenue rose 4.1%, to $2.1 billion from $2.0 billion a year earlier. Earnings per share fell 15.3%, to $0.50 from $0.59. The decline was mostly due to the shutdown of two reactors, Bruce Power Units 1 and 2, for maintenance. Both have now resumed normal operations.
The company has completed $13 billion of projects since 2010. It now aims to finish a further $10 billion worth by 2015, including not just Keystone XL but also the $2.3-billion Gulf Coast pipeline, which will pump oil from Cushing, Oklahoma, to Houston, Texas, starting next year. TransCanada has another $9 billion of projects planned for after 2015.

TransCanada is optimistic it can reroute its $5.3-billion Keystone XL pipeline around environmentally sensitive areas in Nebraska. That would help it win the permits required to finally build the project. Keystone XL, which is expected to start up in 2015, would pump oil from Alberta to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Either way, the company has many other growth projects that enhance its long-term prospects.

These lines will cost $1.4 billion U.S., and should begin operating in 2016. TransCanada has 25-year contracts with Mexico’s federal power company, which cuts the risk of these investments. These deals should help the company win even more business as Mexico continues to convert its power plants from coal to gas.
TransCanada is a buy.
