Capital Power (CPX) has garnered mixed reviews from various experts. While some highlight its recent stock performance, attributed to excitement surrounding potential data centres and AI energy demands, others caution that the stock may be overbought and advise profit-taking. The company's yield stands at approximately 5.5-6.5%, drawing income-focused investors despite modest growth expectations of 5-6% beyond 2025. Analysts note that although the company possesses strong assets and an advantageous position in the energy transition, concerns around interest rate sensitivity and recent downtrends prompt skepticism about immediate growth prospects. Overall, while it shows potential as a stable dividend-paying investment, experts suggest caution in entering or expanding positions at this time.

WEAK BUY

He likes growth, and utilities don't usually provide that. Stock's down to just below 200-day MA, so watch that. Defensive, given what's happening around the world. Only 5-6% earnings growth beyond 2025. May make sense for income investor looking for yield. Yield is 5.5%.

WAIT

Next downside potential is ~$49 (the 200-day or 40-week MA). The big runup on the chart is part of the whole AI derivative trade. There was support around $60, and it busted through that by 15% in one day on Monday's DeepSeek news. Uptrend has been broken, the bounce is over, downtrend likely by another 10% to resume and head to $49.

You could sell a bit here and buy back around $49. If you're looking to buy new, just sit on your hands and wait till then.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 30/24, Up 63.8%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with CPX has triggered its stop at $59.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment gain of 39%, when combined with our previous guidance.  

PARTIAL SELL

Took off in second half of this year due to Alberta government announcing data centres. But it's only a letter of intent at this stage. Alberta makes sense because its power plants are under-utilized and power is cheap. She wants more clarity on whether tech companies will want to build there.

Likes the assets and growing diversification. Stock took off on speculation. Wise to take some profits.

PARTIAL BUY
Sell this, buy TD?

Not a bad idea. Whole sector has done really well on AI themes. Issued equity at $58 to improve balance sheet for accretive M&A. Good company. Dividend's not what it was, as the price is so much higher. 

You can see from the chart that taking profits is wise, but TD may not be the best choice. Choose BMO instead.

PARTIAL SELL
Take profits?

Owns it in his income growth fund. Very good asset base, high regard for management. Excitement around potential of data centres. Getting extended, he trimmed by about 1/3 once it got over $50. Good hold for the dividend.

(A Top Pick Apr 30/24, Up 64.8%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with CPX is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $47) to $54 at this time.

PARTIAL SELL

Without question, a parabolic chart. Nothing wrong with that (up is good, down is bad), but technical indicators on a weekly chart probably say it's pretty overbought. Look at the 200-day MA, and if the stock's too much over 15% then you know it's overbought. Doesn't mean that today it pulls back, but does mean that it's ripe. How much it pulls back is the question, could go sideways.

Be cautious as to how much more profitability in the near term.

RISKY

Has done very well lately; not normal for a dividend-payer to march up like this. He's holding right now, but waiting to sell it off. Have to be very cautious if you buy, could lose 10-15% very quickly. Somewhat predictable. The 5-10 year chart has lots of volatility, but not like a tech stock. All-time, record highs; not a bad holding.

BUY

They have exposure to a data centre in Alberta, possibly a new hug for data centre energy. It's re-rated due to lower interest rates. These stocks are recovering and still are. Still room to run.

BUY

They have some interesting projects, like converting coal into natural gas (one in Alberta). Pay a 5% dividend. Are good for growth.

HOLD

We would consider it a HOLD; FTS, BEPC and H we think look a bit better right now but we would not sell what is working well.
