Q: TRANSALTA is currently down 16% on the day, seems to be a market overreaction based on quarterly results and CEO succession? I currently have a full position that I plan to hold long term, would you be comfortable adding on today’s dip? Would you be comfortable holding long term?

Thanks

5i Research Answer:

It was an ugly quarter, with revenue down 3.6% and a loss vs an expected profit. There was also no news on progress on the Alberta data centre. The management change adds more uncertainty. Still, the drop seems harsh (it did end up recovering a bit and was down 11% for the day). We do not think the dividend is at risk. We think it has potential to recover over time, but if an investor is already full we would be cautious on adding more.
