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

They were not earning their dividends. Everybody thought this company would have to cut its dividends, but they didn't. They have had some maintenance problems at their plants and the margin between buying gas and converting to electricity was negative. Not an attractive buy at this price as it is very expensive. There are better buys in this sector.

BUY

He believes they have underperformed. Costs are down and leverage is down. He would buy and feels it could grow nicely. He owns on the bond side.

WEAK BUY

This stock has benefited from the sparks spread, which is basically the wholesale price of electricity compared to the wholesale price of natural gas. They have managed to play that pretty well. At the moment they are making money. There are some real issues with maintenance of plants and ability to grow.

DON'T BUY

If you are going to buy it, you had better have a very firm view that the dividend is safe.

HOLD

They have to expand beyond their Alberta base so this is why they signed the multi-year deal with the California outfit. It's not going to pay off initially. Their trouble in the past has been their dividend relative to their income. Finds the valuation a little bit high right now.

BUY

In an improved situation and it's part of the pricing inflation.

SELL

Doesn't like this company. Essentially trading off its dividend. The basic bottom line is it's selling power into the unregulated market. Would be very lucrative if gas prices were cheap.

DON'T BUY

Utilities, pipelines, etc. have done fabulously well and benefited from growth in the Price/Earnings ratio which has grown from a typical 12 to 18. Very little room for expansion in the P/E ratio. You'll have single digit growth and a reasonable dividend yield. Would consider paring back and moving into better areas.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 6/05. Up 13.5%.) Also had a nice dividend. Dividend is rock solid. Would still buy the stock at these prices.

DON'T BUY

His model price is $18.36. Has always seemed expensive.

SELL

It's hard to see a high dividend payout strategy, which is what this company is following, with its pure play Genco strategy. Not any real catalyst for upside.

SELL

They don't make enough money to pay their dividend, but haven't cut it yet. A very expensive stock. Given the uncertainty about the dividend and that the yield has come down, he would be a seller.

HOLD

Has been doing great. Everybody expected its dividend to drop any day, but the reality is that it won't be dropped. Great cash flows. Shouldn't do you too much harm. 5% dividend.

TOP PICK

The utility stock that all the analysts hate and yet it continues to go up. Has an attractive yield. Had some business problems last year and the year before, but those are in the past now and things are getting better for them. Sees next year's earnings and the year after starting to accelerate.

HOLD

If you draw a trend line across the lows and another one across the top, this stock is near the top of its trading range. If you're in the stock, the trend is upwards, but if you are thinking of buying wait until it drops down towards the lower part of the trend lind.
