Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (AQN) has undergone significant transformation in recent years, primarily shifting its focus from renewable energy to regulated utilities. While the company has faced challenges, including overleveraging and management changes, recent updates suggest a stabilizing outlook. Experts indicate that there is potential for profitability growth, especially with new management steering the company towards a more predictable business model. Analysts recognize the importance of this strategic shift, as AQN is now seen as cheaper compared to peers in the utility sector, making it an interesting play for future growth and income. However, caution remains as some analysts recommend monitoring the company's progress before committing, given its recent history of dividend cuts and restructuring efforts.

CPX

STRONG BUY

This chart is fantastic. It's broken to new all-time highs already. A winner.

BUY

Utilities do well in the weaker 6 months of the year--May to October--but they have been are rocketing up outside of the seasonal period.

WATCH

The price did not drop much in December at all. You want to be buying it for the dividend. He is not expecting much upside on the price. It was quite resilient when the rest of the market was falling. It is a utility play and not a yield play.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 08/18, Up 23%) 75% of earnings come from regulated utilities. 25% are renewable power under long-term contracts. Over 90% of earnings come from the U.S. paying dividends in USD. Pays a 4.5% yield that they can increase 10% annually because of a project backlog. They have an equity interest in Atlantic Yield which owns renewable power assets mostly in the U.S.--this gives AQN a foray to grow internationally.

TOP PICK

Another utility. It is defensive. It has meaningful growth potential. He likes the growth prospects. (Analysts’ price target is $16.01)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 13/18, Up 19%) It has some growth with 25% of revenues from renewables. 90% of earnings comes from the US. Pays it dividends in US dollars. She still likes it and calls it a defensive holding. Yield 4.2%.

BUY

A summer play from May-August, but it's still trending higher. Investors are risk-averse with this. Pays a 4.2% dividend.

BUY

AQN vs. Fortis Both are good companies that pay good yields, though AQN has a little more growth while Fortis is steadier. Both have done acquisitions to propel future earnings growth. It's hard to choose one.

BUY

Target price of $17. It's been stuck at $14, but remember it didn't go down like the market did. Has 8% EPS growth trading at 15.7x which is cheaper than Fortis and Emera. Has a lot of wind on its back.

BUY

AQN vs. NPI He likes and owns them both. They offer steady cash flow. Likes their dividends which should continue for quite a while. The downside to these and other utilities is that pension funds own them. So if there's a downturn, these will come down in price from a sell-off.

PARTIAL SELL

They had a good year in 2018. It's been a great performer over a long time. They've been aggressively buying and have executed well. He owns Northland Power instead, which has slightly more upside and growth. Nothing wrong with AQN. You can take profits here and buy banks or oil/gas or other overly punished sectors.

BUY

He likes it. You get a 5% yield but you also get growth and this differentiates them from other domestic utility names. It pays its dividend in US$. He likes the twist of its US assets. This is a good stable name.

COMMENT

They're increasing their dividend 10% and have a serious capex program. But if the economy slows, will they have trouble raising equity?

COMMENT

He's avoided utilities until recently. Has good price momentum and it's stable, but it's 16x PE is merely okay. AQN carries a fair bit of debt. He's neutral on AQN.

TOP PICK

A nice income stock. 90% of revenue is from the U.S. and report in USD. 70% of its operations are regulated, so cash flows are stable. The rest are renewable power generation operations under long-term agreements. They pay a 4.9% yield that they can increase 10% annually to 2021. You need a dividend-grower in this environment. (Analysts’ price target is $15.16)
