This summary was created by AI, based on 16 opinions in the last 12 months.

Capital Power (CPX-T) has garnered mixed reviews from analysts regarding its growth potential and market positioning. The company aimed to capitalize on the demand for data centers in Alberta, inspired by expectations of significant deals that ultimately did not materialize. While some analysts acknowledge its strong management and attractive dividend yield, concerns persist about its valuation and reliance on electricity market fluctuations. The stock has shown stability amidst rising power demand, particularly in the U.S., but some experts suggest looking at other opportunities in regulated utilities and express disappointment in its slower-than-expected dividend growth. Overall, CPX is viewed as a reputable utility play with strong future growth prospects influenced by the AI sector, yet it faces challenges in fully capitalizing on its opportunities.

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.

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.
