Polaris Renewables (PIF-T) has a major asset located in Nicaragua, which comes with a perception of political risk that may concern potential investors. The trading volume for this stock is relatively low, which indicates that institutional movements can significantly impact the stock price. Investors are advised to be patient, as the company is in the process of expanding its assets into different geographic areas, which could create potential upside in the future. Currently, the stock offers an attractive dividend yield of approximately 6.4%. However, one expert noted that they previously held the stock primarily for its dividend but ultimately decided to sell, highlighting differing opinions on its long-term viability.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate our TOP PICK recommendation with PIF -- the Canadian $366 million market cap infrastructure developer of renewable energy projects in Latin America. It pays a nice dividend backed by a payout ratio of 35% of cash flow. It trades at 10x earnings, compared to peers at 14x and is valued under 2x book value. We would buy this with a stop loss at $14, looking to achieve $28 -- upside potential over 53%. Yield 3.32% (Analysts’ price target is $28.00)
WEAK BUY
Pulled back, caught up in the renewable selloff. Flagship project in Nicaragua continues to deliver steady cashflow growth. Expanding into Panama. Trading at a 50% discount to other renewables. Great company for the long term. Caution: elections in Nicaragua could have a positive or negative impact, depending how peaceful they are.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly PIF is a Canadian $366 million market cap infrastrucuture developer of renewable energy projects in Latin America. It trades at 11x earnings compared to peers at 27x and a 1.4x book value. It pays a reasonable dividend backed by a payout ratio estimated at 35% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $14, looking to achieve $28 -- upside potential over 45%. Yield 4.04% (Analysts’ price target is $28.00)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 20/20, Up 33%) A great free cashflow story. One that certain people do not want to invest since it is oil and gas. However, it is rather an energy storage. The company generates increasing free cash flow. Pays a 4% dividend and trades at 6x EBITDA, which is half what other alternative power generators trade for. A big position for them.
BUY
Higher risk, as it's based in Nicaragua. Outlook is positive. Discounted valuation compared to larger peers. Astute management. Over time, should grow and diversify geographically. Price pullback due to pullback in the renewable sector plus uncertainty in Nicaragua. Cheap, nice yield, could be a takeover candidate.
BUY

TOP PICK
Boasts a reasonable valuation in the renewable space. A unique opportunity. Operates in Nicaragua and Peru. Recently, they extended their contract of their flagship geothermal facility to 2039. They have a lot of cash for possible M&A in Latin America to buy good assets. (Analysts’ price target is $28.00)
TOP PICK
Pure play renewable energy company, with assets in Latin and Central America. Excellent job growing cashflows. Trades at a significant discount to peers. As it continues to execute, grow cashflows, and expand outside Nicaragua, will see the valuation gap narrow and could see a lot of upside. Yield is 3.64%. (Analysts’ price target is $27.88)
HOLD
It is the middle of the pack. The price momentum has held him back. Valuation is decent at 5x EBITA and 8x PE. The 5.5% yield is healthy with a reasonable payout ratio of 65%. Needs a little more positive fund flow before taking a position.
WAIT
A Nicaraguan geothermal plant is their centerpiece. The stock has fallen and is treading water because of political disruptions in Nicaragua. The valuation is reasonable and managers are great. Cash flow is fine. Polaris has expanded into Peru with hydro projects. This is incredibly cheap vs. peers. Once elections are done in Nicaragua (he expects a new leader), things will settle there.
RISKY

They make geothermal renewable energy primarily in Nicaragua with other projects in Peru, Panama and elsewhere. There is political risk in some territories; governments can renege on payments, though he hopes Latin America won't do this. He already owns Boralex and other renewables, so he knows this industry. Beware of the risks if you buy. It's priced accordingly and trading at a much-lower multiple than its peers. So, there is good upside. Trading at 5-6x EBITDA.

HOLD
Renewable energy has been hot. Has underperformed its peers a bit. Has a small holding for its yield. Well covered payout ratio of 65%. Debt is a bit of a concern. Reasonable price, decent value, decent volatility. Yield is 5.4%.
TOP PICK
Understand what you own. Clean power in Nicaragua and Peru. Super cheap. Dividend likely to be increased next year. A good news story. Lots of upside. Yield is 5.19%. (Analysts’ price target is $25.00)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 26/19, Down 13%) Green power generator. A great story. Added power projects last year. Stock is dirt cheap. Wildly undervalued, lots of upside. Yield is over 6%.
