Mar 23, 2011.  Last I looked I got estimates for 2010 and 2011 of $2.03 and $2.44 for earnings and $3.90 and $5.00 for Cash Flow.
Jul 9, 2010.  When I last looked I got 2010 and 2011 earnings of $2.12 and 2.44 and CF of $4.58 and $5.12.
Apr 10, 2010.  When I last looked at this stock, I got 2009 and 2010 earnings of $2.00 and $2.20 and cash Flow of $3.60 and $4.65
Dec 9, 2009.  when I last looked at this stock in April 2009, I got earnings for 2009 and 2010 of $2.28 and $2.55.  I also got CF for $4.69 and $5.14.
AP 2008.  In July 2008 EPS estimate was $2.25.  In Annual report Basic is $2.53 and Diluted $2.52.  They erred on the downside.
AP2007.  This stock has not done badly over last 5 years.  A number of people like it.  Keep for now. TD rates it as a buy, with low risk.
AP 2006.  I have only made money on this stock.  This is because I bought it at a great time when it had decreased it's dividend. It is on TD's action buy list.  Keep for now.
2005.  This stock is doing ok and I will keep at present.  Some think this is a long term stock to keep.  I will keep an eye on it.  Earnings are up and Dividends are higher than when they first cut them.
2004. My IRR since Feb 2000 is 25%, but then I bought at an opportune time. Doing fine since problems of 2000.  TD has it at buy rating.  Keep eye on. 
2003. 8% return is not bad.  Has good dividend.  Should see if I want to keep through.  2003
2000.  Bought because stock was depressed after the dividend cut.
How they make their money
TransCanada is a leader in energy infrastructure. Their network of pipeline taps into virtually all major gas supply basins in North America. TransCanada is one of the continent’s largest providers of gas storage 
and related services.  It is a growing independent power producer.
May 29, 2008
TransCanada announced in March that it would be acquiring a substantial generating station in Queens, New York for $2.8 billion. Analysts believe, given the size of the deal, TransCanada will not be increasing 
its dividend any time soon (time will tell). But is this really so bad if, in the long-term, the integration of this generation station will mean more free cash flow to increase dividends aggressively in the future? 
Pipelines are heavily regulated industries with prices set by governments. The result is that profit margins get squeezed over time (after all, the government needs to be perceived as keeping energy prices low) 
and, as a shareholder, I would rather have TransCanada use some cash now to expand the business than let its business decline over time (and, yes, I added to my position in the bought deal at $36.50/share). 
For most ratios, lower is better when looking for a good stock price.  However, there are exceptions such as for yield and asset/liability ratios and here you want a higher ratios to indicate a good stock price.  
Also, for the Operational Profit Margin, a higher percentage is better.  With the OPM, you should only compare companies in similar industries.
