Clearway Energy: Solid Operations And Potential Appreciation On The Horizon
Summary Clearway Energy will likely see a strong macroeconomic tailwind in 2025 as the Federal Reserve moves to cut the federal funds rate. The company's strong operations and a robust project pipeline are expected to drive significant DPS growth. Strong DPS growth outlook will amplify the potential macroeconomic tailwind.

Clearway Energy: Tactical Liquid Diversifier At 6% Starting Yields
Summary Clearway Energy Inc. trades at a discount to peers, offering high margins and stable FCFs, making it attractive for income-focused portfolios. CWEN's high FCF yields and a near 1:1 pass-thru of this yield to dividend yield supports a buy for the income account. The intrinsic value of CWEN is estimated at $52/share, with projected dividends alone justifying a value of $31.20/share, providing a favorable risk-reward calculus from the price/value dislocation. Adding CWEN tactically to capitalize on 6% starting yields, stable cash flows, and high FCF yields, revising the recommendation to buy. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Nov 04

Clearway Energy: Rare Profitable Clean Energy Company But Priced At A Premium

The company has a diverse portfolio of energy assets, including wind and solar generators, battery energy storage, and natural gas facilities. CWEN stock has a 6.1% dividend yield which is supported by its cash flow even though net income is lower, but it's due to the company's high usage of depreciation.

Clearway's High Debt Is A Risk, But It Is On My Watch List This Year
Summary Clearway Energy is a potential investment opportunity in the clean energy sector, with a proven record of positive net earnings. The company has shown profitability but is burdened by high levels of debt, which poses a risk to its prospects. Clearway's long-term plan to expand its renewable power business and external factors like increased government incentives could help improve its long-term financial situation. While there are potential upside catalysts for this stock, its debt situation makes it a higher-risk investment. It is a hold for me right now, but I am on the lookout for a better entry point this year. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 18

Clearway Energy: Misunderstood By The Market With 75% Return Potential
Summary Clearway Energy has lately been punished by the market due to strengthening of the "higher for longer" interest rate scenario, just as any other power producer. Yet, the underlying fundamentals of the Company indicate that the cash flows are largely isolated from the interest rate risk. Instead, there is a solid ground to talk about strong and predictable growth via portfolio expansion, where a notable part of new projects are already funded with cash. The current P/CF multiple of 4.2x does not match the growth bias. Plus, it is below its 3-year average because of the market's incorrect assumption about interest rate risk. Investors now get a chance to invest and expect ~75% returns via multiple expansion / convergence back to the historical norm and ~7.5% dividend, while waiting the thesis to play out.

Clearway Energy Remains Highly Defensive And Able To Grow
Summary Clearway Energy Inc. has faced challenges due to higher interest rates and weak wind power generation, resulting in a 20% drop in stock value since November 2022. Despite these challenges, the company remains on track to increase its dividend at the upper end of its 5-8% annual target range through 2026, and has a development pipeline 3.6x the size of its current portfolio. Clearway's strategy includes non-recourse, self-amortizing, project-level loans, which provide a defensive balance sheet and allow for the automatic paydown of debt.

Is Defensive Dividend Growth Machine Clearway Energy A Buy?
Summary We owned CWEN.A previously at High Yield Investor and sold it for a 126% annualized gain. Since then, the stock has traded pretty flat while the underlying earnings power and dividend stream have grown and it continues to have a very promising growth runway. We give the stock a fresh look and discuss at what price we would consider re-adding it to our portfolio. As we discussed recently, at High Yield Investor we love to buy infrastructure stocks (IFRA). The sector has a very impressive growth runway driven by several factors, including strong economic growth in developing markets, aging infrastructure in developed economies, and the de-carbonization of the global economy. Renewable energy infrastructure businesses like Clearway Energy (CWEN)(CWEN.A) benefit from all three of these trends. We owned CWEN.A previously at High Yield Investor and sold it for a 126% annualized gain. Since then, the stock has traded pretty flat while the underlying earnings power and dividend stream have grown. Furthermore, with its focus on and expertise in renewable energy infrastructure, it continues to have a very promising growth runway for many years to come. In this article, we give the stock a fresh look and discuss at what price we would consider re-adding it to our portfolio. CWEN Stock's Substantial Growth Potential As the United States' 5th largest renewable energy company, Clearway Energy Group (CWEN's sponsor) has a substantial growth runway that only got more impressive with French energy powerhouse TotalEnergies (TTE) acquiring a 50% stake in the company last year in an effort to accelerate its own renewables exposure. This should help provide greater access to and potentially a lower cost of capital for the firm alongside the owner of the other half of the company (Global Infrastructure Partners). The bottom line is that CWEN should not lack for deal flow given the bullish macro trends in the industry and its backing from such larger industry players. This is evidenced by the fact that its 9 GW growth pipeline exceeds its already large 7.7 GW operational portfolio. Given that it is pouring capital into attractive investments that offer ~9.5% CAFD yields and very long power purchase agreements, it is able to grow its CAFD per share at a high single digits CAGR while also enjoying substantial cash flow stability and visibility well into the future. As a result, management is confident that it will be able to deliver dividend per share growth near the upper end of its 5-8% targeted CAGR through 2026 at least. Wall Street analysts also appear to be buying CWEN's growth guidance, with the consensus forecasting a 7.6% CAFD per share CAGR and a 7.9% dividend per share CAGR through 2026. CWEN Stock's Value Proposition While its growth guidance remains very attractive and quite achievable, its BB credit rating from S&P is a bit of a cause for concern. However, we are not terribly concerned by the junk credit rating given that - while it is heavily leveraged and its assets are mostly not perpetual in nature - its balance sheet is conservatively structured at the corporate level. The vast majority of its debt is non-recourse to the corporate balance sheet and it has no corporate level debt maturing until 2028. Perhaps best of all in the current environment is that practically all (~99%) of its total debt has fixed interest rates. As a result, we have little concern that the company's growth investment and dividend per share growth trajectory will be undermined by its balance sheet. The current forward dividend yield is also attractive at 4.8% based on expected growth this year. When combined with the expected 7-8% annualized dividend per share and CAFD per share CAGRs, the total return profile is clearly in the 12-13% annualized range. That said, however, the valuation multiple appears to be a bit elevated relative to historical norms with the EV/EBITDA at 10.61x currently compared to the five-year average of 9.44x. While it is true that the growth profile has improved over that time span given the passage of the so-called Inflation Reduction Act and its recent backing by TTE, interest rates have also risen substantially over that period of time.Seeking Alpha • Jan 20
Clearway Energy: Why I'm Really Bullish
Summary Clearway is on a mission to grow its dividend by 8% through to 2026. The yieldco is set to benefit immensely from the investment opportunities posed by the wave of decarbonization sweeping across the US. With cash and equivalents at nearly $800 million, the balance sheet is primed to support growth. I'm really bullish on Clearway Energy (CWEN) (CWEN.A) with the yieldco now forming one of the largest positions in my climate economy-focused portfolio. Decarbonization is a real and growing trend and I believe a lack of exposure would not be appropriate. At the core of the long thesis is that the runaway growth of renewables is absolutely critical to driving down US carbon emissions to secure a more sustainable future. The bullishness is not unwarranted. Clearway last declared a quarterly per share dividend payout of $0.3672, a 1.9% increase from the prior payout and is targeting annual dividend growth in the upper range of 5% to 8% through 2026. Further, with French supermajor TotalEnergies (TTE) acquiring a 50% interest in Clearway's sponsor, we're going to see a greater wave of investments to expand an operational renewable portfolio that held 1.6 GW in utility-scale solar and 3.7 GW of onshore wind as of the end of the last reported fiscal 2022 third quarter. Data by YCharts This highlights the case for a long position. Clearway is set to grow operating assets to build cash available for distribution and increase its cash payouts to its investors. Hence, with the outlook for renewables for the next decade set to be characterized by hypergrowth we should see Clearway's financials trade up to reflect this new green future. Gearing Up For A Ramp Of Operating Assets Clearway's operating assets had a total capacity of 8,123 MW with renewables at 5,651 MW and conventional power at 2,472 MW. As of the end of its third quarter, its sponsor's development pipeline stood at 26.8 GW. This included 6.8 GW expected to start commercial operations in the next three years. With the yieldco still flush with cash and equivalents of $793 million as of the end of its third quarter, we should see the continued deployment of this on additional drop-down assets. This cash position was of course bolstered by the sale of its Thermal business to KKR in early 2022. This was broadly non-core and focused on thermal infrastructure assets that provided steam, hot water, and chilled water to a number of public and private entities across the US. The yieldco received offers from its sponsor during the third quarter to invest around $410 million in wind, solar, and solar plus storage projects with a capacity of around 1.4 GW. The expected CAFD yield on this is 9.5%. Critically, this will support Clearway's target to grow dividends by around 8% over the next few years. Clearway Energy However, the yieldco recorded adjusted EBITDA of $322 million, down 4.45% from the year-ago comp. CAFD of $154 million was also down from $161 million in the year-ago quarter. The disruption of CAFD was largely driven by downtime at its 550 MW El Segundo natural gas-fired thermal power plant and a $17 million contribution in the prior quarter from the now-disposed Thermal business. Clearway Energy Whilst the El Segundo outage has been fixed, the yieldco was forced to revise down its 2022 CAFD guidance to $350 million from $365 million. The nine-month year-over-year comp for 2022 was still strong with a CAFD of $328 million versus $301 million. Growth And The Decarbonization Of Energy This disruption of operating assets is inherent to the industry and forms a key risk of an investment in Clearway. The scope of this risk is radically expanded on the back of black swan extreme weather events damaging power generation facilities within the yieldco's operating portfolio.Seeking Alpha • Nov 09
Clearway Energy: Q3 Outages Impact Performance But Strong Prospects For Long-Term Growth
Summary Clearway Energy has just released its third-quarter financial results, beating EPS expectations by $0.13 with $0.28 per share. Q3 performance impacted by outages and a downward revisal of guidance numbers for year-end results. Backed by Global Infrastructure Partners III, one of the world's most significant infrastructure funds and long-term benefits from the Inflation Reduction Act. Cautious of high-interest rates, large debt intake over the years, and historically fluctuating earnings.Seeking Alpha • Nov 01

Clearway Energy: A Recent Partnership Keeps The Bulls In Charge
Summary The Utilities sector, while expensive, broke out to a fresh two-year high versus the S&P 500 this week. Clearway Energy recently teamed with TotalEnergies, giving it a better ability to grow its renewable energy business. The stock looks cheap on valuation, features a hefty yield, and marches higher as the broad market stumbles. Finding value and momentum in this market is a challenge. One sector that keeps working but is expensive is Utilities. The Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU) rallied to fresh two-year highs against the S&P 500 this week. One small-cap utility, a 3% holding in the Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF (DIV), features a solid chart, good valuation in an expensive sector, and a compelling backstory. Utilities Breakout Vs SPX StockCharts.com According to Bank of America Global Research, Clearway Energy (CWEN), a yield co, owns a 5GW portfolio of long-term contracted renewable and conventional generation in the US. Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) owns a 41% stake in CWEN. The firm engages in the ownership of contracted renewable and conventional generation facilities and thermal infrastructure assets. It operates through the following segments: Conventional Generation, Thermal, Renewable, and Corporate. Earlier this year, GIP and TotalEnergies (TTE) formed a partnership whereby Total would acquire half of GIP's interest in Clearway. GIP would then receive $1.6 billion in cash and a 50% interest in a Total subsidiary that has a 51% stake in SunPower (SPWR). Clearway would then receive a right of first offer ((ROFO)) on Total's U.S. onshore renewable assets plus access to its power marketing group and other corporate relationships. Overall, I see this partnership as favorable for Clearway as it grows its renewable energy portfolio. The New Jersey-based Independent Power and Renewable Electricity Producer industry company within the Utilities sector trades at just 8.0 times trailing 12-month earnings and pays a dividend yield about twice that of the S&P 500 at 3.5%, according to The Wall Street Journal. On valuation, BofA is bullish on CWEN with a target of $43 based on its ownership group and renewable assets. Earnings are seen as growing sharply this year and next before reverting in 2024. Bloomberg's consensus EPS outlook is steadier. Dividends are seen as climbing through 2024, too. The recent corporate deal makes the earnings estimates and valuation tricky, but notice how the firm's EV/EBITDA multiple is in the single digits and CWEN's free cash flow is strong.
