Clean energy space having a nice run this year, even outperforming carbon-based energy. Wind and solar are doing particularly well.
Lack of transparency in how transactions take place. Recently disappointed on revenue, yet growing nicely. Well capitalized. No shortage of demand for power.
Instead he owns the ICLN, which gives him a basket, but he wouldn't say no to BEPC.
Yield on BAM is 3.3%, but stock's very expensive, and is now coming down. BN's yield is 0.5%, so that won't do it for you. BEPC's yield is 3.9% but, again, it's so expensive; even worse, balance sheet has slipped over last 3-4 years.
He doesn't see anything for this investor.
A good name. High-quality way to play de-carbonization space. Very bullish last quarter on future growth and electricity demand. Company says scale lets it mitigate tariff risk, because they can source a lot in the US. Doing really well with data centres. Now 10.5x 2027 price to AFFO, and growing ~10.4%. Nice dividend.
Own in a registered account and get tax-free distributions, or in a non-registered account. Long-term value. Buy a bit now, and buy more lower which will happen with the wild swings and choppy markets.
She likes the assets with substantial holdings in hydro power. Also we should see an increase in nuclear power and they provide service to these stations. It is down like all utilities but is historically good at buying assets at reasonable prices. It just raised its dividend to a 5.4% yield and she expects more dividend increases and free cash flow growth.

All these utilities thrive when interest rates are low, but suffer when rates rise, and now rates are high. Eventually, these stocks will rise when rates come down, but he wouldn't touch this sector. Their business model is not sustainable and needs adjustment.
