    Historical data shows the stock market does well when Democrats are in charge.

  • Biden to Bar Keystone Pipeline, Reversing Early Trump Move

    (Bloomberg) -- Joe Biden will cancel the Keystone XL oil pipeline hours after becoming president on Wednesday, killing once again a cross-border project that had won a four-year reprieve under his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump.In one of his first major environmental actions, Biden will revoke TC Energy Corp.’s pipeline permit via an executive order because it doesn’t “serve the U.S. national interest,” according to fact sheet from his transition team.The move brings Keystone’s fate full circle, repeating a decision made in 2015 by President Barack Obama to keep the pipeline from crossing the border. Trump reversed that in 2017 on his fourth full day in office over the objections of environmental groups.TC Energy said it was “disappointed” and would suspend work on the project, leading to the layoff of thousands of workers. The decision overturns “an unprecedented, comprehensive regulatory process that lasted more than a decade and repeatedly concluded the pipeline would transport much-needed energy in an environmentally responsible way,” said the Calgary-based company.TC Energy shares pared losses after initially trading at $56, down 1%, on the news.Environmentalists are counting on the latest rejection -- coming more than a dozen years since the pipeline was first proposed -- to stick. They argue the project would provide an outlet for heavy Canadian oil sands crude extracted in Alberta through particularly energy-intensive processes that ratchet up its carbon footprint.“Putting a stop to the dirty and dangerous Keystone XL tar sands pipeline immediately and once and for all would be an important first step and testament to the leadership of the diverse grassroots movement that has long pushed to stop it and other harmful pipelines,” said Tiernan Sittenfeld, a senior vice president with the environmental group League of Conservation Voters.Biden promised the action on the campaign trail, yet his formal step still provoked outrage from oil industry leaders, some Canadian interests and labor unions that support the project.“The Biden administration has chosen to listen to the voices of fringe activists instead of union members and the American consumer on Day 1,” said the United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters in an emailed statement based on news reports before the action.Construction of Keystone XL already began last year, jump started with a $1.1 billion investment by the province of Alberta. Whole segments of the line, including one that crosses to U.S.-Canadian border, have already been built.TC Energy has worked to make the project more palatable to a Democratic administration, inking labor agreements with four major pipeline unions last August, agreeing to sell an equity stake in the line to indigenous communities along the route and promising to power it entirely with renewable energy.Still, Keystone XL has been a lightning rod for controversy and a litmus test for environmentalism almost since it was first proposed in 2005. The 1,179 mile (1,897 kilometer) segment is designed to move oil from Alberta through Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska, then connect with an existing network feeding crude to the Gulf Coast. The line would carry as much as 830,000 barrels of oil a day.Opponents argue it will stimulate oil sands development, contributing to climate change.Years ago, proponents of the controversial crude pipeline argued that more of Canada’s cheaper, heavy crude would help fuel producers on the U.S. Gulf Coast wean off supplies from countries like Venezuela or the conflict-prone Middle East.But refiners in Texas and Louisiana have become increasingly flexible, using more of the abundant light oil from shale fields. Plus, Canadian crude’s price advantage has narrowed, and imports from the country have roughly doubled in a decade to a steady flow of more than 3.5 million barrels a day, without Keystone XL.“It’s not an issue for refiners,” said Robert Campbell, head of oil products research at Energy Aspects Ltd. “They can switch into domestic light. The hurt would be on oil sands producers.”Alberta Premier Jason Kenney on Tuesday urged Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take steps to save the permit, saying its revocation “would damage the Canada-U.S. bilateral relationship.”Keystone XL was one of only a handful of energy and mining projects Biden took an explicit stand against while on the campaign trail. Environmentalists emboldened by his move on Keystone are already pressuring him to revoke a critical authorization allowing continued operation of Energy Transfer LP’s Dakota Access oil pipeline and take action against Enbridge Inc.’s plan to replace and expand its aging Line 3 pipeline from Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin.From the archive -- Why the Keystone Project Is Controversial: QuickTake“It’s exciting news,” said Dallas Goldtooth, an organizer with the Indigenous Environmental Network. “Now what are you going to do about Line 3 and the Dakota Access pipeline? We are happy, but we want to see what comes next.”(Updates with TC Energy reaction and shares from fourth paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Is Now the Time to Pull the Trigger on Luminar Stock? This Analyst Says ‘Yes’

    Luminar Technologies (LAZR) went public through a SPAC merger with Gores Metropoulos in early December, and hardly any Wall Street analysts were covering the stock initially. However, fast forward to mid-January and the lidar maker is a buzzy name which has quickly gathered a growing list of investment firms eyeing its progress. The latest to join the fray is R.F. Lafferty’s Jaime Perez. The analyst initiated coverage of Luminar stock with a Buy rating and $38 price target. Investors could be pocketing gains of 27%, should Perez’ thesis play out accordingly over the next 12 months. (To watch Perez’ track record, click here) So, what does Perez like about Luminar? Well, for one, starting next year, leading OEMs including Volvo and Daimler will integrate Luminar’s LIDAR technology into their next generation vehicles. Second of all, while Luminar estimates its current TAM (total addressable market) is less than $5 billion, it could be worth more than $150 billion by 2030. “Assuming a ~4% vehicle penetration rate,” Perez notes, “Luminar anticipates it could generate revenues of approximately $5 billion with EBITDA margins of 50% by 2030.” Perez believes the company’s revenue streams are visible through 2025, based on the $1.3 billion it has already booked in customer backlogs, via its two main lidar products. The Hydra Lidar sensors are tailored for commercial trucks, can detect objects up to 500 meters away and expand the driver’s peripheral view, so that “truckers will be able to detect objects that are typically in their blind spots.” Whilst on the self-driving side, for driver-less last-mile delivery trucks and vehicles going back and forth between terminals, the system is vital and can bring down logistics costs by 25% to 30%. The second major lidar product is the Iris, which caters for the passenger vehicle market and can be seamlessly integrated into the roof of the car. Perez counts several benefits of using lidar in passenger vehicles which include “proactive safety, greater crash avoidance, improved driver assists in braking, lane-keeping assistance, and better visibility in inclement weather.” “Most important,” Perez said, “The LIDAR technology could help reduce the number of vehicle-related deaths.” Turning now to the rest of the Street, where Luminar has 4 additional Buy ratings and 1 Hold, all adding up to a Strong Buy consensus rating. At $37.2, the average price target is set to provide returns of ~25% over the next 12 months.
