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.

BUY

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.

COMMENT

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.

WATCH

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.

BUY

His company has a $19 target on this with an “outperform”. Likes the 7.2% yield and this is a really good entry point.

BUY

Their North Battleford Creek asset is coming into service this year, which reduces pressure on the payout ratio. Thinks it is worth $19-$20. Looking to make a huge acquisition off the coast of the Netherlands, an offshore wind farm. 6.6% yield.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Used to own years ago. Most companies in this space are a good buy now on weakness.

TOP PICK

He likes that management owns about 30% of the company. Renewable energy and well distributed. Natural gas, Hydro and wind. Current yield is 5.6%.

HOLD

Still solid value. You could probably step into it here at a 5.8% payout.

COMMENT

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.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 28/11. Up 25.28%.) Good name but he is reducing his holdings because the valuation is beginning to look stretched.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept28/11. Up 20.71%.) Independent power producer primarily through natural gas. Excellent management team. Good pipeline. Trimming his holdings in the order of 20%.

HOLD
Have a fair bit of development that is going to be coming on stream in the next couple of years that will push the payout ratio down from 100% to about 80%. When that happens, they will be well-positioned to continue development and potentially increase their dividends.
TOP PICK
Try to get this one on a pullback. Close to a 6% dividend yield. Very little exposure to falling commodity prices. Produce about 1000 MW and currently have about 2800 projects on the go. Very strong history of completing their projects on time and under budget.
BUY
He focuses on operating cash flow, low maintenance costs and throwing off of free cash flow rather than the dividend. Trades at a 12X multiple. If interest rates went up, this is how you would get hit. Because of low interest rates, there is a good income stream. 6.5% yield.
DON'T BUY
Payout ratio is well in excess of what they are taking in. Company has stated that if certain things come together by 2014 the payout ratio will be 80%. He'd rather go with other utility companies.
