Northland Power Inc (NPI-T) has received mixed reviews from various experts following a significant dividend cut that has caused unease among investors. Despite this setback, some analysts see potential in the company based on upcoming projects in Taiwan and Poland, which are projected to generate significant cash flow by 2027-2028. While the stock has shown some consolidation and a potential for technical breakouts, there are concerns regarding its execution and the impact of recent delays on overall sentiment. New management is viewed with cautious optimism, yet many investors remain skeptical about the stock's trajectory, preferring to see a more cohesive strategy and consistent execution before committing to long-term holdings. The general sentiment reflects a cautious outlook on the company's recovery and a strong emphasis on project completions and new leadership's capability to regain investor trust.
Utility, some wind and a lot of power and a bit of growth with some co-gen power. With all of these, the perception is that there is not much growth, you are just owning for yield. If he were buying a utility, this and Innergex Renewable Energy (INE-T) would be the 2 that he would own. Not a bad entry point. 7.4% yield is safe.
Has sold off because there is speculation that their dividend may not increase and the payout ratio may not come down below 100% due to an acquisition. It is a dividend story and now a portfolio being diversified through acquisition. If they complete the acquisition it will be a better entry point. Should be 5% lower.
Payout ratio had been very high. Nearing completion on a couple of projects that should add to cash flow and materially reduce the payout ratio so he is going to take a closer look at this going forward. Generally the gas powered power generators are names he has not traditionally owned because the power purchase agreements are coming due and the recontracting process has usually led to a lower cash flow per unit.
He likes the infrastructure plays, pipelines and utilities. His company’s target on this is $19. Likes the yield at 7%. Has had a good pull back. So now is a good entry point.
