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.

TOP PICK
Power generation, which is relatively secure, stable, recession resistant. Just emerged with their parent company in a complicated transaction but will add investment opportunities going forward. Likes the yield of 10.5%.
TOP PICK
Around one times EBITDA, which gives them access to capital for acquisitions. If anyone were buying a power asset that they could lever up, this would be the one. 10% yield.
BUY
A good name within the power group for both the near and long term. Won’t be volatile because of the long-term nature of its contract. Have some nice tuck-in acquisitions.
HOLD
Selling electricity to Ontario Hydro. He has generally been underweight the power trust group, which is a low growth sector. Good-quality name.
BUY
There may be some further interest-rate sensitivity but you are getting close to the point where the interest-rate cycle is likely to turn and this would take off. You’ll not only have good yield, but good capital appreciation. This one is probably one of the better names.
BUY
Originally started off with one gas generated facility but has expanded into wind power. Likes management.
WAIT
This would be one of his top names in power trusts, but he is negative on this sector. Expects a couple of more are right increases. Good management. Fairly conservative payout ratio of about 85%.
BUY
Very stable trust. Started with gas fired hydro plant but have diversified into wind power with a large project in Quebec. Good management and very stable prospects going forward. There won't be a lot of growth but he likes it.
WEAK BUY
The power sector is probably the most defensive and lowest risk as cash flow is usually contracted out for 20/30 years. The sector has high payout ratios, high debts and not much growth potential. If you can get it at a 7/7.5% yield you won't lose much.
WEAK BUY
Great management team. Pretty good assets. A slow growth story. Has competition with the bonds that are yielding as much or more so can’t see where the growth would come from. Probably one of the better ones in this sector.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 20/05. Down 18% not including distributions.) Has continued to increase its distributions. Expect their Quebec wind farm will be coming on stream next year and are looking for big things.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 20/05. Up 4.5%.) Moving into wind power and the economics on wind power is very attractive because of their contracts with the Quebec government. Can see distribution increases coming here.
TOP PICK
A sleepy utility type trust. A gas fired co-generation producing power and steam operation based largely in Ontario. Excited about their inclusion of wind power into their assets. They will be put up in rural Quebec.
WEAK BUY
In a sector that is most sensitive to interest rates.
TOP PICK
9% distribution. A conservative buy. Has one of the best purchase agreements with Hydro 1. Has a long term stable gas supply contract. Higher efficiency turbines and will be able to sell excess hydro.
