Brookfield Renewable Partners LP - Trending Against The Odds

01/02/20 05:00:12 PM

This renewable energy stock has been fighting market headwinds. But can it keep up the pace?

Security:   BEP
Position:   N/A

Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (BEP) owns a portfolio of renewable energy facilities in North America, Europe, China, India and other markets. Electricity projects include hydro-electric, wind, solar, biomass, cogeneration and electrical storage generating 17.4 gigawatts of power. It trades on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock exchange (BEP.UN).

As we see in Figure 1, the stock has nearly doubled since its low in December 2018. To put this move in perspective, the S&P 500 Index rose slightly more than 30% over the same period. From mid-September, BEP had gained 32% by the first week in December. BEP earned total revenue of $2.98 billion with earnings of $46.3 million in 2018.

BEP is part of the Independent Energy Producers industry that has been trending higher since 2016 and includes companies such as Algonquin Power & Utilities (AQN), Terraform Power Inc. (TERP), Pattern Energy Group (PEGI), Ormat Technologies (ORA) and NRG Energy (NRG).

Technically, the stock has risen rapidly in a parabolic blow-off type movement and so is at risk of a significant retracement, compounded by a lofty P/E of 107 (TTM). The stock has also remained firmly in overbought territory since March but has so far shown no signs of weakening.

Brookfield Energy Partners belongs to an emerging group of stocks providing renewable energy for an expanding market around the globe that now employs more than 11 million workers and will experience investment of more than $8 trillion between now and 2050, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
