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.

CPX

BUY

He’s not looking to purchase it right now. He holds Northland Power instead. There was an announcement that there is a new project that is being built in the US that is a combination of wind, solar and Tesla batteries. Carbon credit will also be a good opportunity for them.

BUY

He thinks AQN-T will probably be a hold better. He lightened up on FTS-T. He may still lighten up on the FTS-T position further. AQN-T has some other drivers to it. He thinks it will test its new high. You could buy it here today.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 13/18, Up 33%) They've benefited from this past year's market move to defensive stocks. They bought New Brunswick Gas from ENB and another nat. gas facility in New York state; and they're closing a deal on another in Bermuda. So, they've added generation capacity. They're make hydro, wind and solar energy, which she likes. The dividend yield pays 4.2% which is growing 10% annually. She still likes it. A good, long-term hold. It's smaller than Fortis, so they can grow faster.

BUY

Utilities vs. financials as utilities sell off, but during low interest rates He's been seeing risk-on and -off trades of only short duration. AQN is his 5th-largest holding. You can step into American banks now, like JP Morgan, but it's perfectly fine to own both utilities and financials. He still likes AQN. Pension funds are moving away from fossil fuels into renewables; those funds like yield and established companies like AQN or Northland Power. Don't worry about the recent modest decline in AQN.

BUY

Fortis just came out with good earnings. It is expensive at 19x. Algonquin is growing earnings per share at 15% with a lower multiple. He prefers AQN.

BUY

Been rolling over lately. Is there running room to come? Yes, it has rolled over, because they raised money to pay down debt. Now is a buying opportunity. It probably won't jump another third to $24, but the dividend offers a good return. Buy below $18. It needs a US acquisition that they're planning to push the stock up.

BUY

It is half an independent power producer and half a regulated US utility. He thinks the future is bright. He thinks it will continue to grow organically as well as to look at every deal that comes onto the table. He paired back his position as the stock price edged up.

COMMENT

Sell Fortis and AQN to buy OTEX? AQN is a great utility; they've done a good job growing. He owns Emera in this space. Utilities have done very well until recently when a trade deal looked possible. He'd own OTEX before AQN, because it has generated a higher return on equity historically. Occasionally, OTEX makes a big acquisition to surprise the market in a good way. OTEX is doing more cloud work, which amounts to wider margins.

BUY

He likes the utilities and the chart looks good. He owns it personally. The environment right now is favourable for utilities and he likes the stock.

STRONG BUY

It is a core holding. It is considered the safest utility. It is near the top of his list right now.

HOLD

He likes this and has owned it as a Past Top Pick. He was a buyer below $10. It grows by acquisition along with good organic growth. It is still undervalued compared to its peers. It could still go up another couple of dollars per share. A good solid hold.

HOLD

It is trading at an all time high. They have done great with a great management turn. Take profits if it gets too overweight in your portfolio.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Pays a regulated return, though buy on a pullback, and it's done a great job growing. AQN is his favourite in this space.

WATCH

AQN-T vs. NPI-T. He likes the sector. It is not a pure utility play. AQN-T has a nice upward trend. They have come off a little bit. They diverged since July. He is looking at whether they will come off a little more. Sept and Oct tend to be the worst performing months.

TOP PICK

Phenomenal managers who've made large acquisitions seamlessly. He's long owned this. They have a $7.5 billion development pipeline of projects. They have a unique partnership with a Spanish company to finance green power and assets there, making a great yield there. They have a lot on the go. Utilities and this stock will do very well during low interest rates. Pays a 4.35% yield. (Analysts’ price target is $17.98)
