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.

STRONG BUY
It's one of his biggest holdings. Very defensive and safe from the pandemic. Really likes this stock and sector. He'd still buy at current levels despite the run-up. The dividend should continue to grow, too, despite other stocks suspending theirs.
BUY

NEE-N vs. AQN-T. He would choose NEE-N. Part of the appeal of renewable energy is that they have one of the best R&D teams internally in the company, to ensure all projects they do come on stream as planned and to be more innovative in other green solutions including battery storage. It is the old "Florida Light and Power". It is growing at double digits of 10 or 12% per year and usually these companies are at 5-7%.

BUY
He really likes it. It is his larger holdings in the utility space and one of his largest holdings in his portfolio over all. He has a lot of respect for what management is doing. They have lots of available liquidity and the dividend is safe. They may ratchet down their dividend growth going forward.
TOP PICK
About 75% of revenues come from the regulated portion of their business. They are also into renewable power. This makes cash flow steady and defend able. She thinks the dividend could continue to grow. Yield 4.6% (Analysts’ price target is $21.68)
BUY
He owns this one. As a utility, it also has a renewable business. It trades about 12 times cash flow. A good conservative holding. It has some US market exposure as well.
COMMENT
Utilities? He has owned a lot of AQN and FTS -- they have done well with interest rates going down. As long as government money is flowing, the lights will all stay on. He might wait to buy AQN in the $18 range.
BUY
He likes it. There is huge volatility. Try to buy around the $14 level. He would like to see more downside, or you can buy it here.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Loves AQN and clean energy. ESG is gathering momentum. In this bear market, these stocks are getting hammered--and are a buying opportunity. Buy at $13.50, his downside target.
HOLD
He likes it. They had a fantastic year. They announced the succession plan for the CEO. The stock price has run up. He does not see so much upside over the near term. Going forward he thinks there is not so much in catalysts but over the long term it will have tremendous rate-based growth.
BUY

A good company. It's clean power like wind which is popular. Pays a good yield. A good alternative to Emera or Fortis.

BUY

AQN-T vs. NPI-T. He prefers NPI-T. These are both good exposure to renewable utilities. NPI has a longer tenure of growth and getting projects sanctioned. It is the premium play in the renewable sector.

DON'T BUY
Prefers Northland Power as the better operator. Yield is 4%.
BUY
He owns this one. The recent financing has been pulling the stock down recently. This will allow the company to grow by acquisition in the US. He thinks there is no worries and sees a 8-10% earnings and dividend growth. A good place to be. Yield 4%
DON'T BUY
He would not buy here. His model price is $17.96 or -5%. This valuation is stretched. At $13 it would be an excellent buy.
BUY

It's one of the few reliable renewable stocks to invest in. It's reliable, though not a slam dunk like TC Energy because something could happen to it. But it's pretty good and pays a 4.5% yield.
