What the Analysts think about Transalta
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Transalta stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Transalta stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The Colorado acquisition adds 318 MW of peaking capacity under long-term contracts with investment-grade customers, with fuel and operating costs passed through. The deal closed on 22 October, adding a more predictable earnings stream. (TransAlta)
Hedging has cushioned TransAlta from weak Alberta prices: in Q2 it hedged power at an average of $63/MWh while the spot price averaged $29/MWh. The company also reaffirmed its 2026 guidance. (The Motley Fool, TransAlta)
TransAlta has potential upside from supplying power to a proposed Alberta data centre project with CPP Investments and Brookfield: the initial plan is for about 230 MW, with scope to assess up to 1 GW. The MOU is not a final deal, so this opportunity depends on definitive agreements and approvals. (TransAlta)
Alberta market weakness is weighing on results: Q2 spot prices fell to $29/MWh from $40/MWh a year earlier, while first-half adjusted EBITDA declined to $495 million from $619 million and free cash flow fell to $245 million from $316 million. (The Motley Fool, TransAlta)
Balance-sheet headroom is under pressure: adjusted net debt to EBITDA rose to 4.3 times from 4.0 times at year-end, and S&P shifted its BB+ rating outlook to negative. That could make it harder to fund further projects on attractive terms. (StockTitan, The Motley Fool)
Centralia remains a source of cost and recovery risk: FERC rejected TransAlta’s proposed plan to recover about $19.9 million for keeping the retired coal unit available under a federal order, and said any revised plan must be narrower. Further orders could add costs while reimbursement remains uncertain. (Utility Dive)
