BUY
Jul 20, 2018
Good time to buy? Geothermal play in Latin America, especially Nicaragua. Very much a growth play. Only one project up and running, but tremendous opportunity here. Canada already has renewable infrastructure. But a lot of countries don’t yet. Bit more of political risk, that’s why it’s a growth play and not a dividend play.
Largest section of business is Geothermal, but also has hydro-electric and solar.
Investments in 5 separate areas in Central America.
Market has ignored company despite the fact that it pays ~3.6 yield.
Trades at 50% of valuation of comparable energy producers.
Good management team that has continued to build the company.
Increasing cash flow and is a potential takeover target.
Will keep shares in the company. Believes the fundamental attributes of the business are strong. Will keep buying shares with recent market sell off. Diversified business model. Consistent dividend raises. Low cost power provider.
Geothermal in Nicaragua. Hydro in Peru. Solar projects. Invests in small projects that are too much trouble for the big guys. Big playing field, keeps adding to its portfolio. Continues to build free cash over time. Yield is 5.60%.
Company very cheap at current share price. Small company that institutions wont look at. Reliable revenues that translate into cash flow. Will continue to hold. Dividend very safe and reliable. New project pipeline very strong.
