Top 10 Stocks To Buy For 2019: Brookfield Renewable Powerr Fund(BEP)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Neha Chamaria]

  Right now, I believe Mastercard (NYSE:MA), Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP), and XPO Logistics (NYSE:XPO) fall right into place, because each stock has been a multibagger and has strong tailwinds behind it.

• [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]

  Renewable energy is a hot sector as the world increasingly focuses on generating electricity from clean sources that provide an ever refreshed wellspring of power. But before you run out and buy just any old renewable power company, you need to step back and take a deeper look at the businesses you are considering. Two stocks you should be looking at today are Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.'s (NYSE:BEP) and NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE), both of which have secret weapons as they grow in the hot renewable power space.

• [By Maxx Chatsko]

  For instance, Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP) has been keen to gain a foothold in China for some time, and recently announced 50-50 joint venture to deploy rooftop solar with the country's largest warehouse owner. The initial rollout will include 300 MW of solar, with the potential to expand up to 1,000 MW. But whether or not that comes close to matching the electricity generation of an equivalent deployment of solar in the United States depends on a host of factors. All data available today hint unitholders may be sorely disappointed with the returns on that investment. Perhaps the companies should order some American-designed X-series panels from SunPower. 

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  A driving factor of the company's ability to self-fund growth is the dramatic improvement of its financial profile. One evidence of this is that "following the closing of the Saeta transaction, Moody's upgraded our corporate credit rating from B1 to Ba3," according to CFO Matthew Berger. That's due in part to the fact that the company decided to issue more equity than initially expected to finance the deal so that it could improve its financial metrics more quickly. That stock, which it sold to Brookfield Asset Management and its affiliate Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP), helped reduce TerraForm Power's corporate debt-to-cash flow ratio toward its 4.0 to 5.0 times target range. That puts the company within striking distance of receiving another credit upgrade to an investment-grade rating, which is TerraForm's goal.

Top 10 Stocks To Buy For 2019: ENERGY TRANSFER PARTNERS(ETP)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  One of the newest additions to its backlog is the Permian Gulf Coast oil pipeline, which is a joint venture with fellow MLPs Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP) and MPLX as well as refiner Delek US Holdings. The 600-mile pipeline could transport as much as 1 million barrels of oil per day, according to Energy Transfer Partners, depending on final commitments from shippers. The partners anticipate that the much-needed oil pipeline could be in service by the middle of 2020. It would connect fast-growing oil supplies from the Permian Basin to Energy Transfer's terminal in Nederland, Texas, as well as Magellan's East Houston terminal, where crude would flow through their respective distribution systems in those regions.

Like many master limited partnerships (MLPs), it has pulled back over the past week because of a new ruling from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which regulates tariffs on interstate pipelines.
