This summary was created by AI, based on 13 opinions in the last 12 months.

Transalta Corp (TA) is viewed with a mixture of optimism and caution by analysts. Many highlight the company's recent strategic acquisitions in Colorado, suggesting that these moves are likely to enhance long-term growth prospects and that TA is currently undervalued compared to its peers. Despite the positives, the stock's low dividend yield of around 1.6% raises concerns for yield-focused investors, especially given the overall underperformance of defensive stocks in the current market. Analysts note that while demand for energy is expected to rise, particularly from data centers, there are also competitive pressures and the potential for reduced energy consumption through innovation. Investors are advised to closely monitor stock performance in the wake of recent acquisitions before making further investments.

CPX

DON'T BUY

Owns the bonds. Did break out but from a fundamental perspective it is s lifted because of the interest rates. They are closing down a power plant and that could be expensive. Not his favourite utility.

TOP PICK

Had a major bottom in early 2009 with a little bit of a rising bottom. It is almost a V extended bottom. In a major trading range and has just broken out. About a 6% dividend.

DON'T BUY

Warm to the utilities. He owns man others. He didn’t think management was as good as others, nor some of the assets. He prefers a clean utility, assets that are not economically sensitive and dividends that rise.

TOP PICK

Likes it because it bounced from where it was in a trading range. Excellent risk to reward. The company has guided higher. Fantastic yield.

DON'T BUY

Most of their power plants are based on coal. Coal power plants are being phased out across Canada. They’ll have to look for other sources.

DON'T BUY

Has been paying out a lot of its earnings and in some cases has paid out more. Hasn’t recovered from its big fall in 2008 because there isn’t much possibility of dividend growth. If you are going to choose a utility, this wouldn’t be most people’s choice.

TOP PICK

Stock is cheap compared to its own long-term record. Has a nice dividend. Earnings forecasts are starting to turn back up again. There is support from analysts, markets.

BUY

Owns it in Income Now portfolio. Good dividend payer. Coverage of dividend is solid. Not a lot of potential for growth in dividend, however.

TOP PICK

6.4% bond maturing Nov18/19. Investment grade. Gives you 2% above government of Canada bonds.

BUY

Chart shows long-term resistance. Has gone back to the bottom of its trading range. That is the time you want to buy. You won't get a large capital gains but if looking for a consistent yield with relatively low risk, this is a good investment.

HOLD

Model $17.90, 14% negative differential. Dividend $1.15, with earnings estimate of $1.16. Next year is $1.24. 5.5% yield. Investors are there for the yield. If interest rates spike, these stocks are vulnerable.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 4/10. Up 10.7%.) This was bought strictly for the dividends. Doesn’t expect a huge amount of capital appreciation. Will buy when it gets close to the $20 range and trade out when it gets close to $24.

COMMENT

Chart is flat. In a trading range and there is no particular reason to believe it is going to go above or below its range. The key is that it is a nice high yielding security. You own this for yield, not capital gains.

HOLD

Would not expect dividend increase for the next couple of years. Are paying out pretty much as much as they can – all of the earnings and some cash flow. They can maintain it, however. Decent yield.

DON'T BUY

Has this decrepit coal fired plant that needs to be turned around. He prefers Moore Capital Power. Prices are so suppressed right now, if they go up, TA will benefit.
