Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.
Capital Power is selling a new issue of preferred shares (Series 11). They are rate-resets with a 5.75% coupon. As a dividend investor, I like this yield, but am wondering about the strength of CPX's balance sheet. Can you please comment on the company's overall debt load, strength of the balance sheet, and riskiness of this particular issue? Thanks!

Q: 4:17 PM 5/8/2019
Your 5i profile on NPI shows Debt/Equity of 9.22 and Morningstar gives a comparable figure of D/E of 8.96. These figures are a world ahead over, for example, Enbridge [1.05 and 0.93 respectfully], and PPL [0.63 and 0.53], and RY [0.12 and 0.49] and CSH.UN [2.31 and 2.32].

These figures suggest that NPI has staggering debt. Can you resolve this issue.

I do not want to invest in companies overburdened with unmanageable debt yet you still recommend NPI over AQN [answer to Morgan may 8th] which has D/E of "only" 1.11 and 1.05 from 5i and Morningstar respectively.
Thank you............. Paul K

Q: Team,
What do you think about Bombardier? Is it a good stock to buy for a trade.?
I know they have about 9.5B in debt and lots of it is coming due in 2020. But given that they have the support of the government and the Quebec pension fund already invested 2.5B, it seems to be okay for a trade.!
Thank You

Q: Could you provide what you see as the best 3 investable stocks that should benefit from continued growth in the renewable energy sector and the move away from carbon based fuels. I am not looking for high risk new technology but rather companies that look like a good bet to grow profitably over the next 10 years.

Thank You
