Northland Power Inc (NPI) has faced notable challenges recently, particularly with a significant dividend cut that disappointed many investors. However, analysts are recognizing that the completion of major projects in Taiwan and Poland could lead to improved cash flow by 2027-28. Some experts highlight the supportive technical chart patterns and an overall positive sentiment toward the renewable energy sector, suggesting that NPI could benefit from its recent project developments. Nevertheless, there are differing opinions about the effectiveness of the new management and concerns regarding the company's previous leadership issues and asset risks. As the company strives for a cohesive strategy moving forward, many agree on the importance of monitoring its execution in the coming quarters.

COMMENT

NPI vs. AQN NPI is fine, but she prefers AQN. Nothing wrong with NPI. NPI's recently pullback was due to the CEO dumping a lot of stock on the market, which was a buying opportunity/entry point. AQN has a regulated side in renewable side, pays a good dividend and can growth outside Canada.

WEAK BUY

Has watched it. Owns the competitors in the space. Overhang on the stock. Good dividend, good assets. Well managed. Likes the sector. Not a bad investment at this point if you want to get into the space.

COMMENT

Today, the chairman did a secondary offering of $750 million at $23.35/share. The stock dropped 9.5% today. Should I be worried or will this be accretive? Because the chairman is doing the offering, the company is not getting the proceeds, so this is the worst kind of seconday offering, because it's going to him--the Chairman. So, you got to absorb $750 million that is going to estate planning. It's fine; the chairman has a right to do it, but the market has to absorb $750 million in the market. It got absorbed today--barely. That's why the stock is soft. Eventually, the offering will get absorbed and that's fine.

BUY

It has been interesting with a lot of these renewable power utilities. They bounce back a lot better than the rest of the market. He only owns this kind of quality for the dividend. His only concern is that it is part of a historically high price. They are very, very clean in term of energy. (Analysts’ price target is $26.42)

TOP PICK

A good start to the year. They have brought on 3 wind projects and one in the North Sea. They have a 20 year agreement in Taiwan. He does not expect a dividend increase this year. They are trying to finance growth internally. His largest holding. Yield 4.86% (Analysts’ price target is $26.42)

TOP PICK

A renewal energy company with a $4 billion market cap. A dividend payout ratio of 58%. Forecast earnings growth of 40% is expected. They have created free cash flow of $325 million. A PE of 15.5, which drops to 10.5 in 2020 and higher earnings growth. Yield 5.3%. (Analysts’ price target is $25.73)

BUY

AQN vs. NPI He likes and owns them both. They offer steady cash flow. Likes their dividends which should continue for quite a while. The downside to these and other utilities is that pension funds own them. So if there's a downturn, these will come down in price from a sell-off.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 04/18, Up 3%) They had a good 2018. Pays a solid 5% dividend and has good development projects in Taiwan and Korea. They brought on their big projects in Europe on time and on budget. They're now producing, so there's good cash flow to increase dividends and reinvest in the company. The end game could be as a tuck-in business for a larger infrastructure provider.

BUY

He is looking at it. The dividend is a little low. But they have some wind farms coming online in the North Sea and this should move the needle. It is a good solid company to own at this stage.

BUY

They've expanded a lot into offshore wind in Europe with two farms with another in Germany, plus one in Taiwan, plus a letter of understanding in Korea. They won't increase their dividend 5% a year, but will as projects come on.

HOLD

This is a significant holding for them. They just spoke with management yesterday and received some good information on their dividend policy. They have been slowing their dividend growth relative to the growth in free cash flow to ensure the company does not have to go into the equity market to dilute shareholder value – a smart move he believes. He thinks it is undervalued at this value.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 27/17 Up 3%) Basically the return has been the dividend. He does not mind being paid to wait. They have had some good success in a couple of international ventures. It is trading at a cheaper valuation relative to its US peers. He continues to hold it. Yield 3%

BUY

Likes it. There was concern they didn't have enough growth in the next few years, but NPI thenwent out and secured contracts in Taiwan. Buut that was too far, so then signed contracts in Germany. It pays a safe, decent yield. Conservative balance sheet. They've proved they can bring projects on time and under budget.

BUY

Renewable energy is down these days. Before, investors wanted the yield (bonds were paying so little). But now there's more risk-on and a move towards growth stocks, not dividends. So, now is a buying opportunity in NPI and this sector. He would own this for the long term.

WAIT

Range-bound and is now closing in on its bottom. Your only play is within this range. To trade, wait till it falls closer to $20.
