Paul Harris, CFABrookfield Renewable Corp.BEPCBUYSep 28, 2026

Excellent business. Independent power producer. Hydro, wind, solar. Huge footprint -- NA, SA, Europe, Asia. Nuclear, too. Likes partnering with hyperscalers -- captive projects that will grow its pipeline. Simplified corporate structure will allow index inclusion, should result in stock pop.

5-9% annual distribution growth, driven by 10% FFO growth. Don't look at earnings metric for this company; instead, look at FFO. Yield is ~5%. That makes it ~10-12% annual return. Trades ~13x PE.

His team is researching whether to add. If bond yields rise, names like this tend to be punished. Leg in, as you may get your chance to buy cheaper.

What's not to like? One of the first to sign deals with hyperscalers requiring their own power source. These deals will continue. Many hyperscalers have green corporate initiatives. Strong management. Stock's come off, she's been buying. Yield is 4.9%, and grows 6-9% a year.

He owns BN, as he wants to own the parent. Brookfield is doing a lot of great things including consolidating. If you're waiting until BN takes over, just stay with the stock.

See his Top Picks.

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.

Strong tailwinds to the business. Very sustainable business. Currently out of favor in the markets - stock price presenting value. Renewable power will help demands from A.I. and data centers. Uranium side of business also strong. Large Microsoft deal very good for the bottom line. 

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.

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.
