TOP PICK
A growing producer in green electricity in Latin America. They do geothermal, river and solar energy. The green sector has been under pressure the past year, but these shares are super cheap. Pays a 6.65% dividend and trades at 13X PE. There's 70% upside. Great management, reinvesting their cash flow into a nice pipeline with occasional M&A.
(Analysts’ price target is $20.90)

PARTIAL BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Companies like Polaris trade at high PEs (102.44x), but that’s par for the course. Another caveat is that PIF is a small-cap of only $344 million, so it can be vulnerable to market mood swings—and we’ve had no shortage of that. PIF pays a steady dividend of 5%, which investors can collect as they wait. Given PIF’s caveats, consider this stock more a risky or partial buy.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 06/21, Down 7%) Great green business. Slow, steady grower. Trades at half the valuation of other independents. Table-pounding buy. Only a matter of time before it goes up or gets bought at a serious premium.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Renegotiated main contract, announced a solar acquisition. Diversified cashflows. Excellent job navigating volatility. Small cap is out of favour. A stable and resilient business. A buy below $20. Likes it long term.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate PIF, a Canadian $366 million market cap infrastructure developer of renewable energy projects in Latin America, as a TOP PICK. It stumbled after last earnings report showed an unexpected loss to the company, but pandemic delays can easily account for that. The company announced it is considering expansion of the hydro project in Ecuador and is moving forward with a solar project in Panama, which will be funded entirely with cash on hand. We recommend trailing up the stop from $15.50 to $16.00, looking to achieve $30 -- upside potential over 55%. Yield 3.2% (Analysts’ price target is $30.00)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 04/21, Down 26%) Frustrating. Very positive catalysts over the past year, but problem is that it's a small-cap, renewable with EM exposure. No fundamental issues, selloff is driven by market rotation and sentiment. Buying on pullbacks. Focus on long-term opportunity.

Premium contentTOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly This Canadian $366 million market cap infrastructure developer of renewable energy projects in Latin America is again reiterated as a TOP PICK. It pays a nice dividend backed by a payout ratio of 35% of cash flow. It trades at 9x earnings, compared to peers at 12x and is valued just above book value. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $14, looking to achieve $22 -- upside potential over 45%. Yield 5.1% (Analysts’ price target is $28.00)

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Sentiment on renewables has taken a nosedive. Number of projects likely to be consummated in next 3-6 months, including acquisitions. Nicaragua contract extended. Valuation steep discount to peers. Will see increased M&A activity or an increased payout ratio by jacking up dividend.

Thinks that the run on this can continue. They have enough things in the works to increase their dividend which is paid in US$. They have drilled some holes which looks pretty promising. They have equipment that they can add on to the plant which adds a lot of megawatts. For every megawatt they add, they add about $1 million US of cash flow. Definitely thinks the dividend is heading higher, and he could see the stock reaching $20 in the next year or so.
