Transalta Corp (TA-T) is viewed with a mix of optimism and caution by various experts. While some analysts highlight its potential for growth and resilience as a renewable energy developer with a significant number of projects, others express reservations given its historical price performance and recent volatility. The stock has experienced fluctuations due to changes in earnings expectations and external market pressures. Although it has triggered positive returns in the past, with some top picks showing over 100% gains, concerns about dividend growth and reliance on specific markets persist. Analysts recommend setting stop-loss points to manage risk, hinting at a cautious yet hopeful approach to investing in this energy utility.
Premium contentLong a favourite of Stockchase Michael O'Reilly, this Alberta renewable energy company sank over 2% during April's tariff-induced slide. The sell-off helped to halve TA's PE of 40x from last September, and is now trading far lower than the industry's 33x. Even better, is the confident forward PE of 33.57x. Other qualities: a low beta of 0.55 and low payout ratio of 40% to support the 2.12% dividend yield. True, that yield lags its peers by 150 basis points or more, but TransAlta's ROE is 25.3%, towering over the sector's 8.97%. Anchored by strong free cash flows, the company is aggressively buying back shares as institutional shareholders own 67% of this stock. Lower interest rates are a tailwind for the entire sector
Premium contentTA holds a basket of high-quality power generation facilities including renewables. The company is prudently using some cash reserves to aggressively retire debt and buy back shares. It trades at 21x earnings and supports a 25% ROE. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $9.50, looking to achieve $16.00 -- upside potential of 28%. Yield 1.9%
(Analysts’ price target is $18.33)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.

Premium contentPremium contentPremium contentPremium contentTon 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.
Premium contentWe 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%
