In a Surprising Move, This Beaten-Down Energy Stock Is Suspending What Once Was a Monster Dividend
The Motley Fool· 2025-01-30 08:45
Core Viewpoint - XPLR Infrastructure, previously known as NextEra Energy Partners, is suspending its dividend due to financial constraints, marking a significant shift in its business model aimed at retaining cash flow for future investments and financial stability [2][10]. Group 1: Business Model and Financial Strategy - Historically, XPLR Infrastructure relied on outside capital to fund its expansion by acquiring renewable energy assets and gas pipelines, which allowed for rapid dividend increases [3]. - In 2018, the company shifted to convertible equity portfolio financings (CEPFs) with institutional investors to reduce dilution and capitalize on lower funding costs [4]. - The rising interest rates increased the cost of capital, complicating the buyout of CEPFs, leading the company to sell natural gas pipeline assets and focus on organic growth projects [5]. Group 2: New Business Model and Future Plans - The company is transitioning to a model that retains cash flow for new investments rather than distributing it to investors, resulting in an indefinite suspension of its dividend [6]. - XPLR Infrastructure plans to raise $2.5 billion to $2.6 billion over the next two years through asset sales, including the Meade pipeline investment [6]. - The company intends to reinvest $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion into growth opportunities, including wind repowering projects and high-return clean energy investments [7]. Group 3: Shareholder Value and Future Outlook - XPLR Infrastructure believes that the new business model will unlock significant value for shareholders, with expectations of double-digit returns from buying out CEPFs [9]. - The company plans to evaluate the potential for returning cash to investors in the future, which may include reinstating dividends and share buybacks [9]. - The shift in strategy is seen as necessary for achieving a sustainable financial foundation, which could eventually lead to a recovery in the company's share price [11].
