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.

WEAK BUY

Fairly interesting. Two acquisitions caused leverage to go up, but plans to sell an asset. Will expand over the years. Trades just over book value. Payout ratio around 65% of cashflow. Yield is around 5.5%.

DON'T BUY

Will go lower as interest rates rise. 

DON'T BUY

Renewable space facing headwinds from interest rates and project costs. Some new agreements are inflation-indexed. A long-term, attractive sector. She's chosen BEP.UN, as it's more diversified, larger cap, global scale.

BUY

There has been a big pullback. It has great offshore properties as well as onshore. Headwinds caused by high interest rates should lessen.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Higher interest rates weighing down share price. 
Demand for electricity rising.
Business model looks safe.
Good hard assets for long term investor.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Despite a revenue decline in recently reported earnings, due to a drop in offshore wind production, we see this as short term and reiterate this renewable energy developer as a TOP PICK.  It trades at 1.5x book and supports a 12% ROE.  The dividend is a good yield, supported by a payout ratio under 70% of cash flow.  We like they have increased cash reserves, while aggressively retiring debt.  We continue to recommend a stop at $21, looking to achieve $36 -- upside potential over 40%.  Yield 4.7%

(Analysts’ price target is $36.20)

NPI is trading at a 20.6x Forward P/E and yielding 4.9%. It is a company that has executed well in the past and some wind projects should be coming on line soon, contributing to growth. After the declines here, we would prefer to hold at this stage.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Though few years for the business.
Renewables business sector being hit hard.
Rising interest rates hard on business (borrowing costs up).
Very large projects will be harder to complete with higher borrowing costs.
Owns shares, buying on weakness. 

WEAK BUY
NPI vs. RCI.B

Regulatory issues in Spain. A great stock that needs to be owned longer term by ESG investors. Not much EPS growth for the next couple of years, very expensive valuation.

Rogers is a cheaper telecom. Synergies coming from Shaw. Nice dividend. Telcos will be facing more competition. 

Risk/reward is good for both, so you can get in and do well, but Rogers is the lower-risk play.

HOLD
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

The overall industry has been hit hard, and we think most of the 'bubble'-ness is out. NPI has a strong advantage in the wind segment and we think the growth prospects look solid. A combination of long-dated assets and rising interest rates have not been very polite to the renewable industry. However, this is more industry related than company driven. If patience is running out, we would be okay switching out, but fundamentally we think NPI is OK.

DON'T BUY

He's not as bullish on renewables. Cost of these projects is very high, and it takes a long time to earn this money back. His portfolios tilt towards energy, rather than renewables. Look elsewhere.

WATCH
Dead money or a good buying opportunity?

The whole green space was bid up, and then got hit with higher interest rates. If we're in a higher for longer rate environment, you want the utilities with the best growth profile. FTS and BIP.UN have really strong growth profiles. He believes rates will start to come down, and share prices of utilities will improve.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

NPI is an independent power producer focusing on clean and green projects.  It trades at 21x earnings, 1.5x book and supports an 18% ROE.  It pays a nice dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $21, looking to achieve $39 -- upside potential over 50%.  Yield 4.7%

COMMENT

The issue is interest rates. If you bought for the dividend then you can hold for when interest rates are lower. If you bought for growth then sell it.

HOLD

All renewables got ahead of themselves. Some exposure to price caps in UK. Longer term, you want exposure to renewables and NPI should participate. Good long-term hold in the offshore wind space.
