TransAlta (NYSE: TAC) has announced a new normal course issuer bid (NCIB) approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The NCIB permits TransAlta to repurchase up to 14,000,000 common shares, representing about 4.6% of its outstanding shares, between May 31, 2024, and May 30, 2025. These transactions will depend on market conditions and be executed at the company's discretion. The move aims to enhance long-term shareholder value, as the company's board and management believe the market often undervalues their shares. During the previous NCIB, TransAlta repurchased and canceled 8,561,800 shares at an average price of $9.50 each. The company focuses on long-term shareholder value and operates various power generation assets in North America and Australia. It has also achieved significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and received an upgraded ESG rating.

In February 2024, TransAlta signed a 10-year transfer agreement with an AA- rated customer for 80% of the expected production tax credits, with the remaining credits to be sold later. The facility is expected to generate an annual adjusted EBITDA between $31 million and $33 million.
TransAlta reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2024, surpassing expectations despite a decline in spot power prices in Alberta.
