Contributors at Motley Fool Canada (including myself) cooked up a list of 15 top stocks for December 2019. Actually, I had trouble choosing my top idea for this month as the market kept grinding higher. I chose Enbridge (TSX:ENB)(NYSE:ENB), a defensive name that’s fairly valued with a high dividend yield and a proven track record of dividend growth.
I’ll comment on some of my colleagues’ picks.
Another Solid Energy Dividend Payer
Two contributors picked TC Energy (TSX:TRP)(NYSE:TRP), a smaller peer of Enbridge in the energy infrastructure space. TC Energy is a quality dividend name also but Enbridge offers a bigger yield right off — 5.87% versus TC Energy’s 4.48%, which is just a little more defensive should a market correction happen soon.
The Renewable Energy Space
Two contributors chose a stock in the renewable energy space: Innergex Renewable Energy (TSX:INE) and TransAlta Renewables (TSX:RNW). Clean and renewable energy is a good space to be in as it has secular growth, but I don’t have a strong opinion about these two names in particular.
Given the run-up in utilities in general lately, I think it’s best for investors to consider the space when it’s out of favour again.
