Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Boralex already had a strong presence in western Europe when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Fears of a cold winter in Europe that has cut off Russia energy helped fuel (pardon the pun) the rally in BLX last summer. Reember that Boralex is the only other green energy player operating in Europe. While the August rally stopped sooner than expected, BLX is making another run now. The street forgave Boralex missing its last quarter in November due to these projections of growth and acquisitions. Read 3 Reopening Stocks for China’s Return for our full analysis.

BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The company boasted liquidity of $921 million in its Q2 report that will contribute to increase capacity to 4.4 GW overall by 2025, at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 16%. Boralex trades at 12.3x 2023 EV/EBITDA, which is below the sector average of 13.7x. BLX pays a 1.3&% dividend which has fallen as shares rallied. Its price targets to $55 are reasonable, promising some upside, which makes Boralex a trade or a long-term hold. Read 3 Stocks to See Green in Green Energy Stocks for our full analysis.

HOLD
A good run driven by divestiture of wind assets and by its recent win on solar procurement. Demonstrates their ability to go into new markets and capture growth. They could use solar as a platform to expand energy and battery storage. Hold for the long term.

TOP PICK
In Canada and France. Stock's come off, but one of the best growth profiles of the independent power producers. Expanding into the US. Not the biggest player, mid-market, can carve out a niche to capture growth and projects. Undemanding valuation. Yield is 1.80%. (Analysts’ price target is $47.75)

He did not think we would get the kind of pullback we had over the last two months. It is not his favourite name, but see his top picks today. There was a topping pattern coming out of last year. He thinks it will eventually come back. Governments all over the world are making net zero pledges.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Quebec-based solar and wind energy producer, Boralex , has soared over 30% since October 30, plus another 10% in mid-January amid the euphoria leading up to Biden’s inauguration. In short, Boralex is a hold. Instead, we’ll likely see more upside near-term from NPI and AQN, which also pay higher dividends (2.45% and 3.53%).

The renewable space has seen rapid at a rapid clip. This company also has additional growth. Firing on all cylinders. Will be able to grow into the valuation. ESG still remains a strong part of the market with strong demand. If they keep executing on current growth, which he thinks they will, still upside from current levels.
