Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (AQN-T) has seen a significant transformation recently with a strategic focus on regulated utilities, moving away from its less successful renewable energy ventures. Many experts highlight that the company is undergoing a multi-year turnaround, with new management actively working to improve the business and restore investor confidence after a rough patch that included dividend cuts and restructuring challenges. The analyst community is becoming increasingly optimistic, as AQN has started to show promising technical signs and several upgrades have been issued recently. Although concerns about high debt levels and previous mismanagement remain, many believe that AQN's shift toward a more stable utility model will enhance its growth potential and generate predictable income for investors. There’s cautious optimism about its future, with some viewing it as a potential takeover target given its current valuation relative to peers.

HOLD
One of the names that he is a little nervous about in the power/income trust space. They wear over distributing and then came out with a convertible bond issue. Actually have some pretty good assets, but had a high payout ratio. Might sell into strength.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
There might be a new issue lurking in the background. Under $10, it's not a bad buy.
DON'T BUY
Have not been able to pay their distributions due to water problems. These utilities similar to bonds and when interest rates go up, it suffers.
DON'T BUY
In the near term, believes there is significant positive catalysts in terms of where electricity prices are. Over the longer term, this is a bit of a messy story in terms of assets. A fairly complex portfolio with a lot of complex contracts which are not clear to investors.
DON'T BUY
Has consistantly disappointed in terms of what it's been able to do operationally. Payout ratio has been substantially above 100% for a long time. Not a stable or secure trust.
BUY
Likes.
HOLD
Recently acquired by StarPoint Energy (SPN.UN-T). APF had too high a payout ratio which was unsustainable. The acquisition allows APF to be managed more efficiently.
BUY
Distributions are fine. A utility and a high yield. Doesn't see any growth, so own it for the yield.
DON'T BUY
Did a new issue at $11.30. A more aggressive oil/gas situation.
DON'T BUY
Sold their holdings because they didn't like the debt level.
HOLD
Good dividend but wouldn't buy.
TOP PICK
Pays 9 1/2 percent. Have a good spread of assets. Good management.
DON'T BUY
Expects that more and more people will focus on the power sector.Prefers Calpine.
PAST TOP PICK
(Was a top pick June 19/03.No change.) Came in with a good second quarter.Still like it.
TOP PICK
Has had a rough go for a couple of years because of dry conditions. Now getting a lot of moisture. Should surprise on their income.
