This summary was created by AI, based on 17 opinions in the last 12 months.

Capital Power (CPX-T) is drawing attention due to its strategic positioning in the power sector, primarily focusing on the growing demand for electricity driven by data centers, particularly in Alberta and the U.S. Experts are generally optimistic about the long-term prospects of the company, appreciating its potential for earnings growth despite a recent miss. While some analysts express concerns about management's focus on growth potentially impacting dividend increases, others highlight a solid 4% yield and the company's successful transformation from coal to natural gas. The company's valuation, trading at approximately 27x PE, reflects a premium compared to historical norms, but a significant 21% compound return over the last decade solidifies its reputation as a stable investment. With a strong balance sheet and management's plans for continued dividend growth, the sentiment leans towards Capital Power as a viable long-term hold in a recovering utility sector.

BUY

One of key holdings. Very strong company. Recently increased dividend. Decline in stock price due to higher interest rates. If rates fall, expecting stock to appreciate. Will continue to grow through M&A. Also has strong green energy segment within company. 

WEAK BUY

14.5x PE, versus Hydro One at 17-18x. Great dividend, but payout ratio is high at 109%. Need to consider anticipated EPS growth rate, and this one's flat. Favourable acquisition. Decent. But ALA is the clear winner on PE and price to growth.

TOP PICK

Excellent business model. Currently in the middle of positive M&A. 6.6% dividend yield very safe. As rates fall, will see company share price rice. Sees excellent growth going forward. Has been buying shares recently, and will continue to hold. 

BUY

Recent acquisition of gas plants in USA. Recent deal accretive. Believes room for further growth. Recent sell off creating buying opportunity. P/E ratio around 13 a good time to buy. Expecting a share price around $40. Would recommend buying. 

HOLD

It has been a victim of merciless interest rates. Have many operations in Alberta and doing well. Today, two companies including Blackrock, have announced a deal to buy two US gas-powered plants. He still likes it.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

CPX operates a diversified portfolio of electricity generating assets including renewables.  It has a goal to be net-zero emission by 2045.  It increased dividends by 6%, trades at 12x earnings and 1.4x book while supporting a 18% ROE.  It pays a good divdend, backed by a payout ratio under 55% of cash flow.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $33, looking to achieve $48 -- upside potential of 24%.  Yield 6.0% 

(Analysts’ price target is $48.27)

We consider it an OK stock: not the best, but certainly priced well to reflect this, at barely 7X earnings. EPS is expected to fall nearly 30% next year which tempers our enthusiasm. Lower rates (if and when) should help the stock and the overall sector.

COMMENT

The market now likes growth as opposed to dividend stocks but dividend stocks are still good for the longer term.

HOLD

In renewables, but more on the utilities side. So while he's offloaded some renewables, he's held onto this one. Has renewable assets through the States. Recent cost overrun of about 23%, but they can still absorb the cost with what's happening with power prices in Alberta.

Unspecified

It is at a reasonable valuation and beat in Q1. Its assets in Alberta are good and its dividend is safe. Growth is falling.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 24/22, Up 7%)

Has since sold shares.
Strong dividend yield. 
Excellent long term prospects.
Large business across North America.

BUY

Great dividend yield of about 5.7%. Issues with solar subsidiaries. Weaker guidance for 2023. Alberta power prices should be weaker this quarter. Great company, should continue to do well. Pick it up here, stock should do better.

PARTIAL BUY

He targets $45.87 and pays a good 5.75% yield. It earns more than its dividend. Shocking. It has pulled back. If it breaks $42.25, shares will go lower. What will happen to interest rates? Buy a little, but exit at $42.25.

BUY

They successfully transitioned from coal to gas and other green energy. An excellent long-term performer, but 27% over 3 years. Was up last year in a down year.

BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Business sensitive to Alberta market. Lower demand/prices due to pandemic. Shift to green energy should help the stock. Good dividend, but higher risk.
