Stock price when the opinion was issued
He's looking at it. It's softened up considerably. Decent dividend payer, cut a few years ago but now back on track. High-quality company with share price having sold off. An opportunity, but he hasn't pulled the trigger yet.
Spike on chart due to strong earnings and a bunch of analysts giving it a "Buy". Got ahead of itself. Disappointment recently. He doesn't like buying at all-time highs, where there's often more downside than upside.
(A Top Pick Jan 28/20, Up 22%) Gives him exposure to renewable infrastructure. TA has rebounded since the pandemic. TA is viewed as Alberta power, but it also co-owns subsidiary Transalta Renewables (wind and solar power generation). You get the rest of TA for free, really, if you strip out T-Renewables. The price of electricity has really come back recently which has boosted shares. This is undervalued and he still likes it.
