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.

Valuation

CPX

BUY

There's lots of interest in renewables. BEP.UN has been a good performer. He did start a small position in AQN. It will be a competitive and challenging sector, but fossil fuels need to be replaced. The sector will only get bigger and better.

BUY

They could benefit as they are seen as stable income holding. It could be a good substitution for bonds longer term. It could help alleviate some of the volatility.

BUY

They have been consistently growing their dividend and they will continue to grow and expand.

COMMENT

It's hard to compare AQN to SU. He owns CNR and not SU. He is underweight in gas. He does own AQN as well as BIP. Energy pays a good dividend and in a low interest environment, they can do well.

TOP PICK

The renewable energy transition is very positive. We have growing energy demand that needs to offset the growth even before replacing existing energy supplies. They have a big presence in the US. They just signed an agreement with Chevron to off-set carbon emissions. (Analysts’ price target is $20.50)

TOP PICK

A regulated utility and they make green energy. 90% of revenues come from the U.S. It's defensive with a visible cash flow. Their renewable business is supported by long-term contracts. The 4.5% dividend is safe and will continue to rise. AQN recently raised $1 billion to fund their capital program this year into next. They've partnered with Chevron to develop their renewable energy. Last week, they bought a Chilean water utility and may buy the rest of it later. Overall, they're expanding their renewable power space. They have room to grow geographically here and abroad. Strong growth prospects here and an income stock. We're already seeing capital pour into renewable power globally and here in Canada. (Analysts’ price target is $20.59)

TOP PICK

A very defensive play. A very strong development pipeline complemented by a good acquisition strategy. They create value through organic growth, acquisitions and other means. The valuation is at 18x earnings. A very attractive growth utility. (Analysts’ price target is $20.57)

TOP PICK

AQN is Canadian-listed, but American domiciled, paying their dividend in USD. They've done a great job growing the company. It's heading in the right direction and he's jumping in. At $18 now, it's halfway between its 52-week high and low. It pays a growing 4.6% dividend. They have a strong renewable energy profile. They just cut a deal with Chevron to green the latter's carbon businesses. We'll see more of this greening trend in the industry that he thinks AQN's CEO is focused on. He expects a lot of capital to flow into renewables (not oil companies) and tech. He just bought AQN. (Analysts’ price target is $20.58)

BUY

They have strong renewable assets in the U.S. so it should do well if Biden becomes President. Trades at 17.4x PE 2022. There's upside here. He models 10% EPS growth. They just reported some weakness because of COVID and bad weather. They just raised $1 billion equity but is slightly dilutive. Pays a 4.5% dividend yield. They just got added to the S&P 60. so maybe we'll see some catch-up. The trend is towards renewables. They have a decent balance sheet at 17.4x 2021. You can pick away at it now around $18.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Part of their growth is by acquisition, funded by equity issues. Stock treads water for a while, as new owners get comfortable. In next 6-12 months, they should do another acquisition with higher dividends and earnings, and the stock will go into the low $20s. Be a holder, and even a buyer on weakness.

TOP PICK

In the current zero interest rate environment, it's a great fixed income proxy but offers excellent growth. Metrics have been positive for a long time. Growth plus prudent asset management. Yield is 4.69%. (Analysts’ price target is $21.16)

TOP PICK

It's new for him--he's never bought green energy and AQN was the best way to enter this space. A premier North American company boasting a good mix of resources with a lot of locked-in contractual returns. Strong record of reliable operations and pays a solid 4.7% dividend. He was seeking an environmental friendly asset for his clients and this fit the bill. (Analysts’ price target is $21.25)

BUY

75% is regulated, 25% is renewable. Very defensive cash flow. Equity issue last week took care of all financing needs for their capital program for the next year. Will grow their cash flow and their dividend. Nice stable stock. Yield is about 4.5%.

TOP PICK

A very unique Canadian listed company that has over 90% of revenues coming from US markets. The majority of its cash flow comes from the regulated return side. It is a fairly small market cap in the utility space. They have made a successful strategy of acquiring unloved assets and have good organic growth as well. It trades at 17 times earnings and 10 times cash flow. A good defensive holding. Yield 4.74% (Analysts’ price target is $21.32)

HOLD

It is a hold like most utilities. Canadian utilities cleaned up their balance sheets since the last recession and then used them to acquire US companies. This has largely been played out now. The CEO has recently stepped down and this creates uncertainty.
