CPX vs. AQN Quite high quality. Pretty good torque to Alberta power prices, so if you expect Alberta prices to rally, this one will benefit. AQN is his preference, as it has more diversity in its asset base. AQN has more robust opportunities for growth, plus more leverage to the renewable utilities build out.
Own this as well as a renewable? A utility focused in Alberta, but are shifting away from coal towards renewables. It trades at a lower valuation because people are afraid of the Alberta exposure, but he sees good growth ahead as they add more contracted projects. You can own both a BLX or NPI as well as a conventional utility like CPX or CU.
They successfully transitioned from coal to gas and other green energy. An excellent long-term performer, but 27% over 3 years. Was up last year in a down year.
