Action:DowngradedDate:03/26/26
The score is driven by solid operating fundamentals but constrained by high leverage and inconsistent free-cash-flow generation. Technicals are supportive with a clear uptrend, and the earnings call reinforced a favorable outlook via reaffirmed EBITDA guidance and strong project execution; valuation is helped by the dividend but tempered by a mid-range P/E.
Positive Factors
Regulated and Contracted Revenue Base
TC Energy’s core earnings derive from regulated tariffs and long-duration shipper contracts, which decouple revenue from commodity price swings. That structural cash-flow predictability supports stable operations, underpins multi-year dividends and reduces volatility in funding long-lived infrastructure investments.
Negative Factors
Elevated Leverage and Large Debt Stock
Rising leverage and a heavy debt load reduce financial flexibility and increase interest and refinancing risk, particularly as large projects require multi-year funding. A thinner equity base limits cushion for shocks and can constrain future liquidity or force more expensive financing alternatives.

TC Energy Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 13, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 01, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlighted strong operational execution, notable project delivery and cost-out performance (including >15% under-budget delivery and sizable project placements), clear visibility to multi-year EBITDA growth (reaffirmed 2026 and 2028 ranges), and a deep pipeline (pending approval ~$8B and origination ~$12B). Offsetting items were temporary impacts from Bruce Power outages, evolving balance-sheet planning for larger projects and some regional currency/tax and regulatory complexities. Overall, the positives around execution, backlog and financial guidance materially outweighed the challenges discussed.Positive Updates
Comparable EBITDA Growth (Full Year and Q4)
Full-year comparable EBITDA increased ~9% year-over-year, and fourth-quarter comparable EBITDA grew 13% year-over-year, with the quarter generating nearly $3.0 billion of EBITDA.
Negative Updates
Bruce Power Availability and Unit Outages
Equity income from Bruce Power was lower quarter-over-quarter due to Unit 4 and Unit 3 being offline for Major Component Replacement (MCR) programs; Bruce reported 86% availability in 2025 (including planned outages), below the expected full-year low-90s percent availability for 2026.

Company Guidance
Management reaffirmed 2026 comparable EBITDA guidance of $11.6–$11.8 billion (and 2028 guidance of $12.6–$13.1 billion), declared a Q1‑2026 dividend of $0.8775/share (annualized $3.51, +3.2% YoY within the 3–5% target, 26th consecutive year of growth), and maintained a $6 billion/year net capital target through 2030 (expecting to have it fully allocated by end‑2026). They expect to place about $4 billion into service in 2026 (after placing $8.3 billion into service in 2025, including $2 billion in Q4), shifted $0.5 billion of capital into 2026, added $600 million of new projects in Q4, advanced $5 billion of projects in Q4, and have grown their late‑stage pending approval portfolio to roughly $8 billion (up ~ $2 billion) with an additional ~$12 billion in origination; targeted build multiples remain 5–7x and management sees scope to potentially surpass the $6 billion pace in the latter part of the decade. Operational and market metrics cited include North American gas demand growth of ~45 Bcf/d from 2025–2035, serving 7 LNG facilities (≈30% of North American LNG feed gas), 170 power plants, ~60% of projected U.S. data center growth, and expected electricity demand growth of ~65% through 2050. On Bruce Power, expected availability is in the low‑90s% for 2026 (Q4 availability 86%), every available unit drives roughly $1 million/day of incremental revenue, and MCR investments (currently ~ $1 billion/year) should shift to net cash flow (≈$0.5 billion returning by the end of the decade and >$2 billion once MCRs are complete).TC Energy Financial Statement Overview
