Red flags: they're shifting away from coal energy--and this will take time--and their dependence on Alberta energy. Instead, buy AQN, which pays a regulated return, though buy on a pullback, and it's done a great job growing. AQN is his favourite in this space.
CPX vs. Transalta They're transitioning away from coal to natural gas, wind and solar.They've executed extremely well, but he prefers Transalta for its valuation--and Brookfield could buy Transalta. Both companies are well-run.
It's the top-performing Canadian utility yet little known. Has momentum. You're paid a safe, big dividend pl;us modest price growth. It plays into the carbon tax. CPS's assets are gas, wind and solar which are higher-cost commodities to produce, so the carbon tax will hit traditional forms of energy and benefit CPX. He sees a 2-3% upside plus dividend. Pays over a 6% dividend.
