Boralex Inc. is positioned as a leader in the renewable energy sector, with a primary focus on offshore wind projects spanning France, Canada, and other regions. The company is actively engaged in several growth projects, presenting potential high returns despite associated risks. A notable advantage is that once construction is completed, ongoing input costs become negligible, enhancing operational efficiency. Current market conditions, particularly the potential improvement in interest rates, could serve as a catalyst for growth in the renewable sector, although Boralex has been identified as a laggard among peers. Nevertheless, its valuation, estimated at 9x operating cash flow, alongside a decent dividend yield, suggests an attractive investment scenario, particularly as the sector begins to show signs of recovery.
Has always liked the renewable energy space, but this was the cheapest with the highest growth. What is holding the stock back right now is that there is a huge convertible debenture issue that is in the money, so there is a lot of arbitraging going on that is sort of capping it at these levels. Once that either gets repurchased or converted this fall, you could see the stock really blast off. Anything in the $13 area is a great Buy.
(Top Pick May 16/13, Up 12.80%) Bought because it paid no dividend and traded at a big discount, but that they could pay one if they wanted to. They finished a wind project and then started paying a dividend. Thinks they can grow the dividend significantly over the next few years. Will tread water over the next few months because of a convertible debenture maturing this fall. It presents a great buying opportunity. 4% yield.
(A Top Pick May 16/13. Up 13.76%.) Well on track to double their EBITDA and double their power generation capacity. Phase 1 of the wind farm project in Québec is now operational. Have plenty of projects in the pipeline. Sees this going as high as $20 over the next few years. Expects they will start a dividend policy at some point because they have great cash flow and great growth potential. This is one you want to hold for the long run for the upside.
Small independent power producer. Expecting to see significant upside. Operating profits are going from $100 million to $200 million by 2016 and a lot of that is funded so they won’t have to come to the market and issue equity. Thinks they will be able to initiate a dividend sometime by the end of next year, which will cause the stock to go higher and get re-rated. Looking for $12 in the next 12 months and then to go up to $13-$14.
One of the fastest growing power producers. Likes because it's not paying a dividend, so can get in at much cheaper valuations then it's peer groups, and it's also the fastest growing. Will be doubling it's capactity in the next three years. At some point will be paying a dividend, probably in the next 12 to 24 months which will drive the stock higher. Sees it going to $20 to $25 range in a couple of years. Mostly in wind power in France, and thermal power in Canada. Have their biggest project, a wind farm in Quebec going on stream at the end of this year. This is the end of phase one which is the biggest phase, will be complete, which will probably give a dividend in the next 3 years.
940 Megawatts of power in three countries. 3.5% yield and a reasonable payout. Earnings estimates were cranked up by 14% in the last 90 days.
