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.
