Showing 1 to 15 of 583 entries

TOP PICK

Mainly in Alberta. Pivoting away from coal, towards renewables. 50% valuation discount to pure play renewable power generators. Defensive like a utility, but backdoor play on strength in the oil patch. Bought it for the income, as well as potential capital appreciation. Breaking out on the charts. Yield is 1.40%. (Analysts’ price target is $16.45)

DON'T BUY

He prefers Canadian Utilities, because it's better managed with fewer legacy problems. TA has disappointed investors in the past.

electrical / electronic

BUY

TA vs. RNW vs. AQN AQN's growth rate is 13%, trading around $17, a discount to the group. At these levels, when not many people are owning it and not expecting much, AQN pays a nice dividend. RNW had turbine problems and pulled back. TA is at a discount to the sum of its parts, as it owns RNW but doesn't get full value in the share price. TA is the better buy for upside.

electrical / electronic

HOLD

A regulated utility. Need to think about interest rates sensitivity. Need to buy it at the right time. If rates go up, be underweight until interest rates peak out, near 2% to jump into utilities. Wouldn't sell but would not buy more.

electrical / electronic

BUY

Transalta vs. Transalta Renewables Transalta, becuse it's cheaper, and it owns 40% of TR anyway. They just announced a plan to transition away from coal and gas into wind and power. It trades at 8x EBITDA, whereas TR is 13x.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. It has shown a strong quarter reporting 7 cents per EPS vs the expected 5 cents. EBITDA has increased 39% with free cash flow increasing 55%. Shares trade at 8x EV to EBITDA, which is in the middle of their historic range. The momentum is encouraging.

HOLD

For a TFSA or RRSP? A decent income stock. She owns some utilities. They're transitioning out of coal. Continue to hold it. She holds growth stocks in an RRSP for the sheltering. A cash account is the best place to hold an income stock so you can take advantage of the dividend tax credit.

electrical / electronic

BUY

Can charge more for assets because of the SCC decision, so they'll be more highly regarded. It's fine.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 28/20, Up 22%) Gives him exposure to renewable infrastructure. TA has rebounded since the pandemic. TA is viewed as Alberta power, but it also co-owns subsidiary Transalta Renewables (wind and solar power generation). You get the rest of TA for free, really, if you strip out T-Renewables. The price of electricity has really come back recently which has boosted shares. This is undervalued and he still likes it.

COMMENT

Owns Transalta renewables. The utility sector as a whole suffers from being not too cheap, fairly leveraged and so he would prefer to get companies that have better cashflow.

electrical / electronic

BUY

Just had a strong Q2 and reinforced their guidance. There's an extra $3 of value here. Brookfield just made an investment. Has a great balance sheet. Renewables are a hot area, too. With their cash, they can buy back lots of shares. Trading at a 15% free cash yield vs. 9% from its peers.

electrical / electronic

TOP PICK

Has a $12 price target. Brookfield owns a portion and will buy more. Its ESG score has risen. It's a turnaround story and underowned. Good for renewable exposure. (Analysts’ price target is $10.97)

electrical / electronic

BUY

It does not pay much of a yield, so it generally is ignored. They are modeling 6% growth in cash flow per share. The balance sheet is in good shape. They are buying back shares. Not his favorite name, but has upside to $11.

electrical / electronic

HOLD

It has had a good bounce this year. Brookfield has been brought in (now holding 5% of the stock) and holds a couple of board seats. The true value is $11-$12, he thinks. He likes the hydro generation assets on the renewable trend. Yield 2.5%

electrical / electronic

SELL

He prefers ALA-T to this one at these levels. Nothing is going to move this one materially higher in the next while.
