Q: Hi there,

I’ve noticed that some of the Renewable stocks have been firming up and/or improving lately.

Do you see any hope for growth in the near term horizon or should one invest in these mostly for income?

Thank you!

Q: What is the outlook for this company for the next couple of years. Do you see if it is a long term hold. I would think that Taiwan Wind Farm is complete by now and should be generating with steady cash flow. This stock seems to be stuck between 20 - 21 dollars, do you see any up- side from here.
Thank you for your excellent serve.
Earl

Q: NPI recently announced the commencement of the new Oneida battery storage Project (ahead of schedule and under budget). They also have two wind projects under way, in Poland and Taiwan. I believe. I am having trouble estimating the value of each of these projects. Can you tell me the expected revenues, free cash flow, and EPS of each project and when the wind projects are expected to come on stream?

Q: The recent NPI quarter looks pretty weak, decreased revenues from last year. I’m thinking to take a loss and possibly add to other positions, or would you recommend to repurchase after the 30 days? I read the March report, but I see better opportunities in other names. The growth story for 2025 is only the Oneida Energy Storage Project completion? How much will this add to revenues? I’m also concerned the allure around renewables and the climate change narrative is crumbling, especially after the Europe outages. Any thoughts on this?

My add to names I’m considering are PPL, CPX, PEY, WCP. How would you rank those for growth, stability, current and future yield?

Q: Hit "enter" to fast on my last question. Looking for some ideas with the understanding you can't offer direct recommendations. I have 40 K to add to my non-reg account. I have full positions in all the pipelines, OLY, GWO, BNS, CU, NPI, BIR, PEY, TPZ, CNQ, PRL and BMO. I have no need for any income for at least five years, not opposed to going overweight if necessary, have lots of higher yielders so would perhaps benefit from some choices with capital gain and dividend growth potential versus just high yield.

Q: Hello, I have held Northland for 20 years, gradually building a full position, but it is now coming back to my average cost. I understand renewables are not trendy these days, so should I 1) hold on to it, 2) add to it (no longer a full position now) or 3) let it go. FYI, I also have BEPC in renewables and EMA and FTS as utilities as well. It is part of a dividend portfolio and the div is good…Thanks!

Q: Hello Team,

I currently do not have any pure dividend stocks and I'm looking at purchasing one to start. I did a bit of research and came up with the above list, are you able to rank them in order plus add your 2 favorites into the list (if they are not already included). Looking at a minimum of a 6% yield with the possibility of say a 30% return over the next 3-5 years. (setting my goals high). Thanks!

Q: These 9 stocks were approximately equally weighted in unregistered dividend account before NPI and BCE took a big dive. The overall yield of the account is around 4.8% which I have been happy with, but the loss of capital in the 2 mentioned is troubling.

Objective of the account is to generate retirement dividend income for the next 5 to 10 years.
Other accounts provide pretty decent diversification by sector / geography / growth etc.


Question 1. Should I take the loss on these two and redeploy into the other holdings?

Question 2. Any glaring omissions in this account which you think I should add in here?
