Best stocks to buy for a TFSA income fund Why Emera is a reliable income stock
Emera is a utility company based in Nova Scotia with operations in Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. The business grows through acquisitions and organic development projects.
Emera’s current $7.4 billion capital program through 2023 is expected to generate rate-base growth of 7.5-8.5% per year over that timeframe. This should generate adequate cash flow to support annual dividend increases of 4-5% through at least 2022.
The business reported good Q4-2020 and full-year 2020 results. Adjusted net income in Q4 came in at $0.75 per share compared to $0.60 per share in the same period last year. Full-year 2020 adjusted net income was $2.68 compared with $2.59 in 2019.
The stock trades near $50 per share and offers a 5% yield at the time of writing. Emera’s share price was $60 a year ago, so there is decent upside opportunity, and you get paid well to wait for the next rebound. As the utility industry consolidates, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Emera become a takeover target in the next few years.
