# Brookfield Renewable Corporation (BEPC.TO) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. TSX, Canada. Sector: Utilities / Independent Power and Renewable Electricity Producers. Price C$43.92, market value C$8.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Brookfield Renewable Corporation reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 1.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.3×.
- **EV / EBITDA: 14.5×**. Enterprise value is 14.5× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -11.6%** (5-yr avg -2.1%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 38.6%**. Brookfield Renewable Corporation keeps 38.6% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 21.0%**. 21.0% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: -62.9%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 588.5%**. A 588.5% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.7%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -7.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces -7.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 25.8%** (3-yr 11.3%/yr, 5-yr 11.0%/yr). Revenue grew 25.8% over the last year, against 11.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -1218.4%**. Earnings per share fell 1218.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 11.3×**. It would take 11.3 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 0.5×**. Operating profit covers interest only 0.5×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.26** (quick 0.25). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: -0.07**. A Z-score of -0.07 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 4.95%** (C$2.17 per share, trailing). Brookfield Renewable Corporation yields 4.95%, an income-level yield.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 6**. 6 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 22.5%/yr** (1-yr 7.6%). The dividend has compounded at 22.5% a year over five years, doubling roughly every 3 years at that pace.
- **Shareholder yield: 0.2%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 0.2% of the market value a year.

- **From 52-week high: -30.4%** (2.9% above the low). Trading 30% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 35**. An RSI of 35 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.64** (volatility 33%). Beta of 0.64 against the S&P/TSX Composite: the shares move much less than the market.
