Contact Energy is one of New Zealand's leading producers and suppliers of electricity. It operates in an environment dominated by four electricity producers, resulting in disciplined competition and historically good pricing power. We believe Contact Energy and the other major players will continue to dominate the industry and generate favorable returns in the long run.
Contact Energy has a strong balance sheet with relatively conservative financial leverage, positioning it well to fund renewable developments.
Higher bond yields are a headwind for all income stocks, including Contact Energy.
