11:48 AM EST, 11/17/2025 (MT Newswires) -- RBC Capital Markets on Monday highlighted outperform-rated AltaGas ( ATGFF ) , Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC.TO) and Emera ( EMA ) among Canadian regulated utilities which reported third-quarter results that were broadly in line or exceeded expectations.

RBC said some utilities, including Fortis ( FTS ) , Hydro One ( HRNNF ) and Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC.TO), have communicated stronger growth trajectories that are underpinned by their respective abilities to capture many favorable secular themes related to the rising North American energy demand and the importance of grid resilience.

"We believe the sector's durable and low-risk growth, coupled with sustainably rising dividends, should offer investors a reliable high-single digit to low double-digit total return over the long-term," RBC said.

"Indeed, an area that warrants continued monitoring on a local level will be how the industry balances keeping bills affordable while ensuring a fair and timely return on and of capital," RBC said.
