On CAPS, 97% of the 371 members who have rated TransCanada believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include brewsterfl1 and MatthewCHoffman.  

A few months ago, brewsterfl1 nicely summed up the TransCanada bull case:

New pipeline construction along with US acquisitions make for a quality North America distribution platform. Now if only we had a use for all that natural gas. Pays a nice dividend too!

TransCanada even boasts a rather robust three-year average operating margin of 33.5%. That's much higher than that of industry peers like Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) (6.1%), Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) (9.9%), and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE: KMP) (19%).

CAPS member MatthewCHoffman elaborates on the TransCanada bull case:

This stock is a winner. The company is a vital oil and gas supply service with massive pipeline assets. Very conservatively managed. It is [likely] to get approval to build at the Keystone XL pipelines from the Canadian tarsands (second biggest deposit of oil on Earth outside of Saudi Arabia) to the US. ... [A]nd as a make-work project it will be irresistible even to a liberal president like Barack Obama.
