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.

TOP PICK
Transalta Corp
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

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)

TOP PICK

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%

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.

TOP PICK
Transalta Corp
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

The Alberta based utility operates over 2,000 MW of wind and solar generation spread between Canada and the US.  It trades at 18x earnings and supports a 30% ROE.  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%

TransAlta renewables better business. Current valuation is cheap. Expecting higher share price. Dividend not as high as peers. Good stock to own going forward.

DON'T BUY
Transalta Corp

On the surface, it looks like they will generate a lot of free cash flow per share, but their debt is huge and they plan to spend around $3.5 billion through 2028. Can they increase their dividend? What if interest rates go up a lot in coming years?  The dividend, though just increased, remains low. The PE is not cheap enough.

PAST TOP PICK
Transalta Corp
(A Top Pick Sep 12/22, Up 7%)

Excellent performance the past year given tough year with rising interest rates.
Current share price undervalued - should be $15 or $16.
Strong business that will continue to own shares in.
Renewable business roll-up not a concern.
