Sam Burwell has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors related to TC Energy’s Bruce Power asset and its capital plans. At the Stampede teach-in, management highlighted the strong execution of the Major Component Replacement program and emphasized Bruce Power’s distinctive commercial arrangements, which together support a stable, contracted cash-flow profile.

However, while the company outlined additional clarity on risk parameters, strategic options, and timing for the potential Bruce C project, these positives are balanced by the scale and uncertainty of future capital needs. Management presented self-funding of Bruce C as a credible path, underscoring improving free cash flow, but the execution and timing risks keep the risk/reward profile relatively neutral. As a result, Burwell maintains a Hold view and leaves the $90 price target unchanged, seeing limited near-term multiple expansion until there is greater visibility on Bruce C funding and overall capital allocation.

According to TipRanks, Burwell is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 15.9% and a 67.60% success rate. Burwell covers the Energy sector, focusing on stocks such as Pembina Pipeline, Strathcona Resources, and Keyera Corp..

In another report released yesterday, ATB Cormark Capital Markets also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a C$92.00 price target.
