Investment Q&A

Q: What do you think of their latest quarterly report from Innergex? The market never likes to see a cut in a dividend , and reacted accordingly
.Are there better alternatives in the renewable energy space , and would you please rank them . i already own BEP.UN

Q: Could you please give me an update on Innergex? I notice that a lot of the renewable energy companies have performed poorly this year. I'm wondering if there is anything company-specific to be concerned about, with Innergex. Thanks.

Q: I am a 70-year old retiree interested in purchasing INE.PR.A as a long term investment for income. I am more interested in preserving capital than capital gains. Although this security is rated only “4h” by the rating agencies, Innergex would seem to have good business prospects and sufficient cash flow to continue paying dividends on their preferred shares. What do you think?

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

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: Northland Power has been mostly holding its own but Innergex has fallen a fair bit in a couple of months. Is there a reason for the difference? Would you prefer to hold one over the other or suggest both?

Thanks.

Q: Looking to make further investments in the renewable energy sector. Can you please comment on the following: Schneider Electric (SBGSF), Innergex Renewables (INE-T), Canadian Solar (CSIQ-N), Air Products and Chemical(APD-N), Plug Power (PLUG-N), Ballard Power (BLDP-N),
Boralex Inc (BLX-T), and Northland Power (NPI-T)

Q: Could you suggest some names to add to these categories? I already have Capital Power CPX (could add some), Innergex INE, Brookfield Renewable BEP.UN, Algonquin AQN, Emera EMA, Fortis FTS and Brookfield Infrastructure BIP.UN.

Q: Good afternoon,

Could you please offer your opinion on the latest cv debenture offered by Innergex ( 4.65%, Oct/26).
Thank you.

Q: Are you comfortable with the safety of Innergex common shares and the dividend? Debt and payout ratio seem high.

Q: I am looking for quality dividend-growth Canadian stock, yielding at least 5%, mid cap or larger, for medium to long hold, in the following sectors: banks, pipelines, renewable energy.

I am considering adding to BNS, Brookfield Renewable (BEP.UN) and Enbridge (ENB).

I could add to Interpipe (IPL) or Innergex (INE) but am thinking that Enbridge and Brookfield Renewable are better choices at the moment.

Your opinion? Other names to consider?

Q: I am thinking about switching from Alta-Gas to Innergex for a 3% position and taking a reduction in yield. 5 to 10 years holding time. The 2017 INE results were out late today. In looking them over I see significant improvement in revenues and adjusted EBITDA as well as a drop in the payout ratio due to an improvement in free cash flow. The dividend was increased modestly by 3%. However, earnings were down substantially.
Power generation was down due to lower flow volumes in BC and lower than average winds in France.
Would the anticipated rate increases be discounted in the current price in your opinion?
Do you think this is a reasonable switch at this time? Also, in your opinion is there anything in the 2017 results that would be a major red flag for you that I might be missing?
Thanks as always,
Rob

Q: hi ryan abything new on axy. akso how about a limit to 100 words on a question. thanx in advace cliff

Q: I think I saw a big surprse on Q2 results. Any comments on this variation? What is your view of Innergex? Expanding on the question - your opinion relative to other players in the renewable sector.

Q: My primary investment objective is to find companies with growth potential with a secondary goal for some dividend income. I bought Innergex renewable (INE) a year ago at 14.80. This year it has been flat around 14.50. I am considering selling it and reinvesting the proceeds into Gilead (GILD). With GILD there is also the potential of some currency appreciation. Please let me have your thoughts. Is there another Company you would prefer to Gilead??

Q: Hello:

Could you comment on Innergex's 3rd quarter please?

Q: Hi 5i Team:
I’m sold on the need to maintain sector diversification and use your suggested weightings for an income portfolio as my guide. It is how to classify pipelines that always gives me difficulty. I hold Algonquin, Fortis and Innergex to the tune of 10% classified as Utilities. I hold Canadian Natural Resources and Parkland Fuels which make up 7.0% as Energy. Now the problem, I also own Pembina and TransCanada to a total of another 6%. If I go against the TSX and say they are Utilities then I am pretty much in line with where I want to be. If I say they are Energy, suddenly I am overweight Energy and underweight Utilities. My question is do you have any data that would suggest which sector the pipelines are actually more strongly correlated to historically? My feeling is that they have probably moved down with Energy when the oil and gas sector gets beaten up, but also move down with Utilities when interest rates go up so not sure it really matters that much unless one has a crystal ball? But I try not to invest by feelings, would love to know if there is any hard data to support a decision? Alternatively, if you just look at the above and say “too much energy exposure for proper diversification” that’s good enough for me. Appreciate your guidance as always, thanks!

Q: what do you think of these to for long term renewable energy stocks.are they worth holding or is there better ones

Q: The company's shares have risen considerably over the last several months, is there any reason for this.

Thank you, Brian

Q: I own shares of Innergex Preferred series A Bought @ $ 22. I am giving the option to convert it to series B floating rate. Could I please have your opinion if I should convert or stay with series A. I was unable to find a Quote for the B series. Is this a new series that is created for that purpose? With only 3.4 Million shares of the series A outstanding, the conversion is subject to a minimum of 1 Million of A to B and become compulsory if less than 1 million shares remain outstanding of series A.

Thanks.
