In the said letter, Steel City Capital highlighted a few stocks and TC Pipelines LP (NYSE:TCP) is one of them. TC Pipelines LP (NYSE:TCP) is a natural gas transmission company. Year-to-date, TC Pipelines LP (NYSE:TCP) stock lost 30.4% and on October 27th it had a closing price of $29.13. Here is what Steel City Capital said:
“TC Pipelines (Long): When I initiated a position in TCP in late March, I did so because the shares were a screaming buy. At the time, TCP’s P/E and P/FCF multiples were sub-7x and shares offered a safe dividend yield in excess of 12.0%. Despite a rebound to low-$30s (a gain of roughly 50% on our cost basis), shares remain extremely attractive for a business characterized by a high degree of cash flow visibility and strong investment-grade counterparties.
Apparently TCP’s corporate parent – Canadian-based TC Energy – knows a bargain when they see it as well. They recently offered to acquire all of TCP’s outstanding shares at a price of $27.31. I view this offer as an opportunistic attempt to purchase all of TCP at a steep discount to the company’s intrinsic value and published an open letter to the company’s Board of Directors. The full text of the letter is attached as Appendix A. Any deal requires the approval of a majority of current shareholders and the top of TCP’s register is highly concentrated. The top 5 shareholders will have considerable sway in how the situation unfolds and I remain optimistic that they will push for a more appropriate valuation.”
