Transalta Corp (TA-T) has drawn mixed reviews from various experts in the market. Some analysts view the stock as an opportunity due to its recent price drop, coupled with a decent dividend yield, despite previous cuts. There's an acknowledgment that while strong earnings drove a spike in its share price, it might not be wise to buy at current highs. Many commenters express concerns over the stock's historical performance, citing that it has been volatile with limited growth over the past decade. However, the company is also recognized for its diverse portfolio in renewable energy projects, which could enhance its potential moving forward. Analysts suggest caution due to its exposure to price pressures in the power market and recommend different strategies like trailing stop-loss orders to manage investments in the stock.
Our PAST TOP PICK with TA has triggered its stop at $16. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. Combined with our previous guidance, this will result in a net investment gain of 46%.
It has been up and down for a decade and its ten year chart shows a price not much higher than 10 years ago. He is not expecting much dividend growth. He prefers TC Energy which is more solid and more diversified.
Has been rallying the last 3-4 months based on rate cuts. Has exposure to the Alberta power market which has seen prices under pressure since 2022. Prefers Capital Power.
Ton of drama for many years. Exciting play when it separated out RNW, but then they put them back together. Underperformed since then. Not a bad name, but doesn't have the nice dividend that others in the space do.
Not the first place he'd put money. Dead money absent other catalysts. On a really sharp pullback, you could add. If you own it, it's a fine hold.
We reiterate this Canadian based developer of renewable energy as a TOP PICK. They recently announced the startup of a 200MW wind project in Oklahoma that is fully contracted - their 30th successful wind project. Shares trade at 12x earnings and support a robust 33% ROE. Quarterly cash reserves are growing again, while debt is retired and shares bought back. We continue to recommend a stop at $8.50, looking to achieve $13.00 -- upside potential of 26%. Yield 2.2%
(Analysts’ price target is $13.75)The Alberta based power generator holds a diverse portfolio of power generation assets in the US, Canada and Australia including 50 renewable projects with many new projects on the list. It trades at 12x earnings, 3.5x book and supports a 33% ROE. The modest dividend is supported by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $8.50, looking to achieve $13 -- upside potential of 30%. Yield 2.3%
(Analysts’ price target is $13.69)Utility-type companies should perform better once rates start to come down a bit, which hasn't started yet. Most downside has probably occurred, though could potentially retest. Value play, could pick away at these levels, not wild about it.
At current levels we would consider TA 'OK'. But, it has not created much long term value, and has had to cut its dividend in the past. We would far prefer BEPC or H and would be comfortable swapping.

Cash reserves are growing while shares are bought back, but they do continue to add to debt. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $8.50, looking to achieve $15.00 -- upside potential of 50%. Yield 2.2%

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.
