Please use necessary credits.
Thank you

Q: Why are renewable energy stocks like the three names above performed so poorly in the last year or two? Isn't all governments are promoting renewable energies and these stocks should flourish and not sink?

Q: Hi 5i,

I currently own the above noted renewable energy utilities. I am thinking of selling AQN. If I did so, (and I would like to keep it in renewables) would you recommend putting the proceeds towards one of the above or something like NPI or possibly a renewable energy ETF. Could you recommend 1 to 3 ETFs?

Thanks!!

Q: Good morning team, thoughts on the quarter for Innergex.
Thanks
Rob

Q: I have a small position (,7%) of INE in my cash account with a decent profit. Comments in a recent question paint a bit of a concerning view of INE. Would YOU replace it with another renewable and if so which one?

Q: Please provide thoughts on this company as well if the dividend is safe. Given renewables be popular much opportunity for growth?

Q: Innergex seemed to be rolling along nicely until this week, then it suddenly dropped 5% on a day and is now down 10% on the week. Is there some news I haven't read or seen? I generally don't expect utilities to be this volatile. What do you think of INE?

Q: hi, these equities are overvalued, over-leveraged, with shrinking earnings, according to Morningstar Canadian Dangerous strategy. do you think any are compelling sells now, and which would you Hold?
thanks, Chris

Q: What's lit a fire under the renewables all of a sudden? The market has suddenly fallen in love with them again? Is this a temporary fling or likely to last?

Q: the above renewables are all down substantially; are there one or two that are worth buying at this time?
Thanks,

Q: With the expected increase in electricity needs from the world-wide introduction of electric vehicles, I would like to establish a full position in one or two of the above renewable power companies. Would you please rank them in terms of current valuation, debt, revenue growth and dividend growth. Which would be your overall preference for a 5-10 year hold? If you have another recommendation, what would it be?

That you for all the assistance you provide the DIY investor.

Q: Renewable energy has been beaten up over the last year and seems to be fairly cheap at the moment. With quantitative tightening and raising interest rates on the horizon, would it be prudent to wait to see what happens with inflation before moving into this sector? Which of these names do you prefer? Thanks.

Q: I see INE has dropped nearly 50% in last year. It offers a dividend over 4% now.
I like the sector, and the giant investment to be announced this week for offshore windmills on the U.S. East coast might help sentiment of the depressed sector and tenders should follow suit to support ongoing growth.
How would you assess this security in light of an income account at this point?

Q: Here is the current EV/EBITDA ratios for the following energy producers (lowest to highest): CPX (8.3), BEP.UN (9.3), NPI (11.6), FTS (13.0), H (14.0), AQN (16.5), BLX (17.4), INE (37.1). CPX seems to be a top contender for value, with lowest P/B too at 1.49. Considering all factors, please rank from best to worst, in terms of possible best total return over the next 10 years.
Thanks!

Q: I would like to invest more heavily in power producers that have a higher concentration of hydroelectric power generating stations. What stocks would you recommend in Canada and the US?
Thanks!!

Q: hi, can I get your thoughts on INE after you digest the earnings and forward looking statements please. Is this a good buy price?
cheers, Chris

Q: If you were to rate the above renewable energy stocks (including the ones you're aware of but not listed above) for yield+growth potential what would be your order of ranking? Thanks.

Q: Hi, I have read that several U.K. utilities have recently collapsed given soaring wholesale natural gas prices and the inability to pass costs on to customers. Could the same thing happen here and if so which companies might be the most susceptible? Could any of the above companies be impacted? Thanks.

Q: Hi all
Already own AQN. Looking to add another renewable play. Can you rank the above in terms of dividend safety and growth. Any others I have missed that you might include?
Thanks for your service!

Q: Could you comment on recent acquisitions and debt level etc .?
