Behold, gentle investors, a spectacle most curious! Clearway Energy (CWEN 1.16%)(CWEN.A 1.39%), a company possessing a rather substantial collection of windmills, solar panels, and other engines of virtuous power – some 12.7 gigawatts, to be precise. Yet, it dwells in a shadow, unnoticed by the multitude, a circumstance which, I confess, amuses me greatly. It is as if a king, richly adorned, were to disguise himself as a humble peasant!
This obscurity, however, is unlikely to endure. Clearway finds itself in a position most favorable to exploit the burgeoning demand for clean power, a demand fueled by such novelties as these “AI data centers” – prodigious establishments, I am told, that consume energy with the voracity of a thousand suns. Let us examine, then, why this purveyor of renewable dividends might well hold dominion over the coming decade, a reign built not upon conquest, but upon the gentle turning of turbines.
A Return Most Potent
Clearway, you see, has secured its prosperity through agreements most sagacious – long-term contracts, known as Power Purchase Agreements, which ensure a steady flow of coin. A portion of this bounty is, most generously, distributed to shareholders as dividends (a mere 70% retained for reinvestment, a restraint worthy of commendation!). Thus, investors are afforded a pleasing income stream – a current yield of 5% – while the company itself is empowered to expand its holdings in the realm of clean energy. A most prudent arrangement!
The company does not merely sit upon its laurels, but actively seeks to increase its dominion. It invests in improvements to existing wind farms and, with a touch of foresight, adds battery storage. Furthermore, it acquires operating assets from its parent company, Clearway Energy Group, and from others, allowing them to replenish their coffers for new ventures. A cycle of prosperity, indeed!
Clearway’s future is, for the near term, remarkably visible, assured by a long list of secured investments. They confidently predict a growth in cash flow per share of 7% to 8% annually through 2030. Beyond that year, thanks to its strategic alliance with its parent, they envision a continuation of this growth, perhaps even exceeding it. This, naturally, should support further increases in dividends – a prospect which, I confess, warms the heart of any discerning investor.
With a 5% dividend yield and earnings growing by more than 5% annually, Clearway could easily deliver total annualized returns exceeding 10% over the next decade. A return most substantial, especially considering the relative lack of risk involved. It is a performance that would surely elicit a knowing smile from the most cynical of observers, and perhaps even a grudging nod of approval.
