Capital Power (CPX) has garnered mixed but generally positive reviews from various experts. The company is well-positioned to benefit from the increasing demand for electricity, particularly in relation to data centers and artificial intelligence growth in Alberta and the U.S. Despite recent earnings miss, there is a consensus that it is a good long-term hold with a robust dividend yield of approximately 4%. However, some experts express concern over the lack of fully contracted revenues and predictable cash flows. Management's focus on growth, especially through market dynamics and strategic acquisitions, is seen as an advantage, although there’s some apprehension regarding the Alberta government’s role in supporting data center projects. Overall, CPX is recognized for its strong management and significant growth potential in electricity generation.

HOLD

Is Alberta-centric and expanding beyond. See how they enter renewables, which is an opportunity. Utilities have had a great run, but CPX isn't cheap now. He owns other companies in this sector. But CPX is growing faster than its peers. Wait for a better entry point and their strategy.

TOP PICK

Very boring business which is good for predictability and long term business prospects. Has advantage over competitors with financing activities. Insulated from rising energy costs with forward contracts. Believes power demand in Canada not going down.

BUY

Renewable energy picks? Pays a fat dividend. They shut down coal operations and are building wind farms in the west now. Peers like Northland Power are also good. Wind power is a very good sector. Even BP is building wind farms in Europe.

WEAK BUY

Alberta power market fundamentals have improved and benefited CPX. Transitioning aggressively to sustainability. Wind at its back. Cashflow increasing. Valuation consistent with peers. Trying to be carbon-free by 2040. You can't own them all, so he owns AQN, EMA, and BEP.UN instead.

BUY

Both CPA and AQN have some overlap. Doubled up on Algonquin Power when there was a pullback. Would own both if it was in an RRSP.

WEAK BUY

CPX vs. AQN Quite high quality. Pretty good torque to Alberta power prices, so if you expect Alberta prices to rally, this one will benefit. AQN is his preference, as it has more diversity in its asset base. AQN has more robust opportunities for growth, plus more leverage to the renewable utilities build out.

BUY

Own this as well as a renewable? A utility focused in Alberta, but are shifting away from coal towards renewables. It trades at a lower valuation because people are afraid of the Alberta exposure, but he sees good growth ahead as they add more contracted projects. You can own both a BLX or NPI as well as a conventional utility like CPX or CU.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They are building out their renewable segment. They will be 1/3 renewable. AlbertaPower name is doing better now. It is a steady eddie. Will be a good addition for yield and stability. Buy on weakness. Upgraded this recently.

BUY

It is making the transition to renewable energy. They have a re-rating potential as they are a well run company. He thinks it is an attractive proposition.

BUY

Competitive yield. Alberta's phasing out coal-fired plants was a huge blow. It's been diversifying outside Alberta, and growing nicely. Dividend has increased. Broad re-rating of power producers with a growing renewable energy footprint. Halo will continue on these names. Continue to buy here.

BUY

He likes the power companies. He favours the renewable, alternative energy companies. They have the wind at their back. The green sector will be a force for at least a half a decade to come. There is going to be a greater demand for electricity and for it to be generated in non-traditional ways. He likes NPI-T, AQN-T, and BEP.UN-T.

DON'T BUY

He owns their bonds and preferreds. Their balanced sheet is a little stretched and they are majorly exposed to Alberta. They'll spend a lot of capex for many years to transition into renewable power. This is probably safe, but there are better names. He's watching this. Don't expect a dividend increase for a while. Could be a long haul.
