Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (AQN) is currently undergoing a multi-year turnaround focused on becoming a more pure-play regulated utility after divesting its renewable energy assets. The company is predominantly operating in the US, which has prompted plans for redomiciling to attract more US investors and investors appear cautiously optimistic about its restructuring efforts. However, many experts express concerns about the high levels of debt and the modest earnings growth. While there are positive signs of management's improved execution and focus, there is still a prevailing sentiment of skepticism until the company can demonstrate consistent profitability. The stock is perceived as a potential turnaround candidate, but its history of dividend cuts and operational challenges keep some investors at bay.

She continues to hold it. The utility space has pulled back (AQN is down 15%) because of rising yields. AQN pays a yield under 4%. Its growth outlook is strong for years to come, and AQN enjoy robust cash flow primarily in the U.S. AQN'S dividend that will rise 10% this year, though that growth may moderate in years to come as AQN invests more in its business. Renewable energy remains a good investment, though the group was overextended coming into 2020; she was waiting for a pullback and it's happened.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks As of March 8, this Canadian wind and solar power producer has tumbled nearly 15% off its high of $22.67 of just a month ago. The good news is that AQN‘s PE has slipped to 18.4x, which trades below the industry average of 19.2x. In addition to the current rotation, another factor pressuring Algonquin is last week’s Q4 report in which its EPS of $0.21 fell just a penny short of the street’s expected $0.22. Similarly, AQN’s adjusted EPS for the full year of $0.64 fell shy of management’s guidance of $0.65-0.70. Not a disaster, since Q4 EPS and revenues rose year-over-year so AQN stock is an oversold stock. Read 3 Overdone and Oversold Stocks for our full analysis.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The catalyst for the sector is whether or not the Biden administration will be supportive of green energy. The Trudeau government already is. There's more upside to this stock. With sector rotation out of tech, you want to look for an entry point. We're going to see higher growth opportunities for renewables, so you want exposure.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Short/medium outlook for renewable energy The recent harsh winter weather in Texas shows that even green power can be effected. But now this market rotation is a short-term blip for green energy stock, and so is a good opportunity to buy. Corporations and governments will continue to demand green energy and investors want ESG. This is a solid, long-term trend that favours this sector.

HOLD

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The laggard is Algonquin , up only 11% since October 30, but its future growth is assured. Read TITLE DEL POST for our full analysis.

BUY

AQN vs. BEP.UN Likes it. Leveraged to renewable infrastructure build in the US. Very steady utility business. Better choice than BEP.UN at this time, based on valuations.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The stock is fairly priced versus its peers. Support looks around $20 so there is minor technical risk. However, taking into consideration the dividend and growth prospect, it is a good play. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

She likes it. It is a combination of regulated electric and water utility as well as renewable. The renewable portion is growing and this is a good thing. They pay an attractive dividend. They re-affirmed in September that the dividend will be increased this year but she feels it will continue to grow even if moderated.

TOP PICK

One of the only ones left at a decent price. Has both regulated utility and renewable power development. The renewable side will be rerated faster than the utility part. Well managed for a long time. Government spending plus investor interest is a very good recipe for the space. Yield is 3.80%. (Analysts’ price target is $21.87)

WAIT

In a secular bull market, when markets start making new highs, they make them in bunches. We've been through 2 bear markets, the fall of 2018 and this past one of 2020. Now you get the other side. You can't be afraid of a rising market. Fiscal and monetary stimulus have been extraordinary, and that's not going to stop. Problem with utilities is they're not big beneficiaries of the economic cycle. You won't lose money, but there are better places to be. A great company, but won't be leading the market forward.

HOLD

All utilities held up reasonably well during the pandemic. Better places to look than utilities at this time. Great job initiating getting into green power. No reason to sell.

BUY

HOLD

Good long-term hold. 3/4 of its operations are regulated. The rest is renewable power, which is gaining a lot of traction as a long-term secular trend. Stable cashflow stream, most comes from the US. Dividend growth visibility. Yield is 3.2%.

BUY

BUY

A Biden win would be positive for green energy. Renewable producers have already run up. Don't chase. Opportunity to buy when there's a pullback. She owns BEP.UN and AQN. Long-term value. AQN you could start adding right here. Wait on BEP.UN.
