Altagas stock: one of the best stocks for your TFSA
Altagas (TSX: ALA) is a diversified energy infrastructure company. Indeed, 60% of the company’s EBITDA is derived from its highly defensive utility business. And the rest of it is from its midstream business. The company’s two segments provide it with a stable and secure revenue stream mixed with growth. The defensive utility segment provides Altagas with steady and defensive utility earnings. The midstream segment provides Altagas with huge growth.
So what does this mean for investors? Well, it means that you can attain stable dividend income with Altagas, while also benefitting from a growth business. Altagas’ midstream natural gas assets are where the growth is coming from. These assets are located in some of the fastest-growing markets in North America, including the Montney and Marcellus/Utica basins. The strongest growth is coming from Altagas’ propane export facility. It’s currently posting 20%+ growth in volumes as Asian propane demand is soaring.
This TFSA stock is the best stock for its dividend yield
Labrador Iron Ore Royalty (TSX: LIF) is a TSX stock that’s a true Canadian gem. Labrador Iron Ore Royalty owns a 15.1% interest in the Iron Ore Company of Canada. It participates in the revenue through royalties, which it receives without bearing any of the risks and costs of running operations.
Its whole “raison d’etre” is to pass on its ample cash flow to its shareholders. This takes the form of a regular dividend. And once a year, extra cash flow is paid out in a special dividend. The result has been explosive returns for shareholders. In fact, in the last five years, $16.55 per share was paid out to shareholders.

This is good news in today’s environment. I mean, natural gas prices are soaring – up 23% in the last month alone. With this, comes soaring cash flows for natural gas producers like Tourmaline.
