NPI is a major producer of offshore wind power, accounting for 60% of its adjusted EBITDA (followed by natural gas at 21%). True, wind power is not 100% reliable, but NPI boasts a long track record of execution, returning 13% annually over the last five years. The company just reported its Q4 and full year: sales rose in Q4 by 30% and 2% for the year, largely driven by Spanish operations NPI bought last August as well as its natural gas operations. Gross profits climbed 33% in Q4 and 1% for the year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 35% in Q4, though declined 3% full year. Another caveat is its 49.1x PE, which ranks higher than the industry average of 41.5x. However, margins are robust at a 12.89% profit margin and an ROI of 2.55%. NPI pays a steady dividend yield just under 3%, based on on 98% payout ratio. That may sound high, the but the sector's average is 139%.
