Research Alert: CFRA Initiates Coverage On Northland Power Inc. On Growth Trajectory
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We initiate Northland at Buy (4-STARS), which reflects our bullish view on the company amid the dramatic need for energy and NPI's largely alternative production across the globe. With plans to double its 3.5 GW capacity to 7.0 GW by 2030, the earnings growth potential is substantial. Our target price of CAD26 is derived from a 7.8x forward EBITDA multiple applied to the FY 27 estimate. The growth story comes at the cost of a dividend cut, capital recycling, and significant project risk. However, projects are currently on track to meet their latest deadlines, and the Q1 2026 fundamental performance and guidance strengthened management's case that no further bearish revisions are needed to execute its plans. Shares trade at a historical discount versus peers and the company's own historical averages, as the market waits to see whether the Hai Long and Baltic projects can generate cash flows on time. Our FY 26 adjusted EPS estimate is CAD1.24, and our FY 27 estimate is CAD1.41.
