CHEMTRADE LOGISTICS INCOME FUND $18.94 – Toronto symbol CHE.UN

CHEMTRADE LOGISTICS INCOME FUND $18.94 (Toronto symbol CHE.UN; TSINetwork Rating: Speculative) (416-496-5856; www.chemtradelogistics.com; Units outstanding: 41.7 million; Market cap: $777.2 million; Dividend yield: 6.3%) has confirmed that it has agreed to buy specialty chemicals maker General Chemical Corp. for $860 million.

This is a huge acquisition for Chemtrade: it will more than double its $777.2-million market cap. A major purchase like this can always backfire, but it will likely be a good fit, offering Chemtrade both growth prospects and diversification.

As well, Chemtrade estimates that General will add 17% to its cash flow per unit. That will let the fund maintain its dividend, which gives its units a high 6.3% yield.

Chemtrade is still a buy.
