Q: I'm thinking of buying BIPC or BEP. in my US account. Do you have preference between the two and if so why. Also could you provide me with their current and forward PE's. Thanks for your help.
5i Research Answer:
We like BIPC over BEP mainly due to its more diverse business base, along with reporting solid Q3 results displaying new deal flow. BIPC is also subject to less government regulation which BEP is exposed to in the energy sector. Trailing price-to-earnings for BIPC is 76.2x, while forward is 24.7x. BEP does not have data available regarding trailing and forward price-to-earnings ratios since they recorded an EPS loss.
