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.

Has always over distributed. Debt levels are a little high. Would avoid this one.

DON'T BUY

She doesn't like the power space in general because of the limited growth and limited upside. This is not one of the top-quality names in that group. High payout ratio.

DON'T BUY

Acquiring Clean Power (CLE.UN-T), which should be accretive to the company. There are some synergies with this acquisition, but they're not the quality he likes to see.

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.
