Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (AQN) has experienced significant challenges over the past few years, particularly stemming from high debt levels associated with its aggressive acquisitions in the renewable sector, which led to a dividend cut and a loss of investor confidence. Despite these struggles, recent reviews indicate that the company is undergoing a transformation, refocusing on its core regulated utility business after divesting most of its renewable assets. Analysts have observed signs of improvement, suggesting that AQN is gradually regaining footing under new management. However, the stock remains in the 'penalty box' and is viewed as a 'show-me' stock, awaiting proof of its capability to generate consistent profits again. While there is optimism about future earnings potential and attractive yields, many experts suggest a cautious approach due to the lingering restructuring phase.

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.

BUY
Likes it a lot. Good EPS growth. Not cheap anymore. If Biden wins, it will favour the renewables. Liked it more a couple of weeks ago in the $18s. Will grow in next 5 years.
BUY

AQN vs. H Likes Hydro One, with an OK growth rate, but it's expensive. AQN and FTS are trading at better levels than Hydro One with nice growth rates and dividend growth. Pretty safe area, but a mistake to buy at the top of the range.

BUY
New Money? Yes. He has a $20.21 model price with a 3% upside so he would recommend it here and owns it in client accounts.
