TRANSCANADA CORP. $45 – Toronto symbol TRP

TRANSCANADA CORP. $45 (Toronto symbol TRP; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Utilities sector; Shares outstanding: 705.0 million; Market cap: $31.7 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 3.6; Dividend yield: 3.9%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.transcanada.com) has won contracts to build and operate two pipelines that will supply natural gas to government-owned power plants in Mexico.

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.
