RE:EMA - Top Pick - BNN Market Call - Ryan Bushell Emera (EMA TSX)
Emera is a long-term holding that exhibits low volatility, however, the shares are off ~10 per cent recently as the run in the market has seen investors rotate out of defensive companies. We remain structurally positive on utilities given the supply/demand dynamics for power in the coming decades driven by the desire to lower carbon emissions, population growth, higher air conditioning demand and reshoring of manufacturing activity on this continent. All of these factors are poised to inflect power demand higher at a time when the sources of power are also changing, creating dependable growth for distribution utilities across the continent. With a 5.1 per cent dividend yield and above-average growth in their rate base jurisdictions, we feel Emera is a solid investment at an uncertain time.
