This 5-Minute Pitch was originally published on Seeking Alpha before the launch of the Hunting Alphas website. It is shared here to showcase my previous work and track record. New 5-Minute Pitches published on this site will not be disseminated anywhere else.

Elevator Pitch

  • Brookfield Infrastructure Partners is positioned well to grow capital deployments, upon which it earns solid returns of 12-14% IRR. This is driven mostly by Data Transmission & Storage activity.
  • But its project with Intel corresponding to 38% of BIP's incremental capital to be commissioned has already suffered a 2-3 year delay and I believe further postponements are a risk.
  • Further delays would not bode well for BIP investors, as it would elongate the payback period on the investments.
  • Valuations are attractive as the stock is trading near decadal 1-yr fwd P/AFFO lows.
  • Relative technicals vs the S&P 500 signal caution as the ratio prices are near a key weekly resistance level.
