Q: Is this a good time for Brookfield to takeover TA?

Asked by Robert on March 16, 2026

5i Research Answer:

BN/BEPC have made such acquisitions in the past, and TA is small enough. The group looks for steady 'forever' cash flow and TA would suit its style and is small enough for an easy bite. BN already owns 9%. This does not mean it will happen, though, but it would also not surprise us.
