BROOKFIELD, NEWS, Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (“BIP”) (NYSE: BIP; TSX: BIP.UN) today announced that BIP unitholders voted overwhelmingly in favor of the resolutions approving the proposed corporate structure simplification (the “Simplification”) at a special meeting held virtually earlier today (the “Unitholders’ Meeting”). Completion of BIP’s conversion into a Canadian corporation is not conditional on approval by shareholders of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC”) (TSX, NYSE: BIPC) and, subject to receipt of the final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Simplification, is expected to occur before the end of 2026.

Brookfield Infrastructure also reminds BIPC shareholders that the rescheduled special meeting of shareholders of BIPC (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”) will be held on October 29, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EDT.

Reminder to BIPC Shareholders to Vote

BIPC shareholders who have not yet voted are encouraged to vote their shares today.

The Simplification will result in BIP unitholders, and if approved by BIPC shareholders, holders of BIPC exchangeable shares, receiving class A subordinated voting shares (“Class A Shares”) of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Inc. (“BIP Inc.”).

The Board of Directors of BIPC, based in part on the unanimous recommendation of its special committee (consisting entirely of independent directors) and the fairness opinion received from Scotiabank, unanimously determined that the Simplification is in the best interests of BIPC and have unanimously resolved to approve the Simplification and recommend that BIPC shareholders vote in favor of the Simplification.

Approval of the Simplification by BIPC shareholders will enable them to participate alongside BIP unitholders in the following benefits, among others:

Improved consolidated trading liquidity through a single listed security;Increased demand from current indices and potential additional index inclusion;Stronger alignment with long-term capital allocation trends toward indexable and ETF-eligible corporate securities;Simplified investor analysis, screening, and benchmarking through a single listed reporting entity;Broader access to a larger pool of investors who prefer corporate structures; andEnhanced governance framework and voting rights for public securityholders. BIPC shareholders are reminded that, if the Simplification is not approved at the Shareholders’ Meeting, then, upon closing of the BIP transaction, the BIPC exchangeable shares will remain outstanding and will become exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for BIP Inc. Class A Shares. As a result, the BIPC exchangeable shares would remain a separate, smaller security that is expected to have lower trading liquidity and more limited index participation than the combined security. Any subsequent exchange or redemption of BIPC exchangeable shares may not qualify for the same tax-deferred treatment as an exchange completed in connection with the Simplification.

The Shareholders’ Meeting will be held on October 29, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EDT. The record date for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the Shareholders’ Meeting remains August 21, 2026, and the deadline for registered shareholders to cast their votes by proxy is 5:00 p.m. EDT on October 27, 2026. Shareholders who have already submitted a proxy do not need to vote again.

BIPC Shareholders who have Questions or Require Voting Assistance

Brookfield Infrastructure has retained Laurel Hill Advisory Group as its proxy solicitation agent. If you have any questions about the Shareholders’ Meeting or require assistance voting please contact Laurel Hill Advisory Group (“Laurel Hill”):

The Company may also use the services of Broadridge Investor Communications to assist eligible beneficial shareholders with voting their shares over the telephone with Laurel Hill. Many shareholders are eligible to vote quickly and easily over the phone, via email, or text message to help achieve the Simplification.

Voting Results of BIP Unitholders’ Meeting

At the Unitholders’ Meeting, unitholders were asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass (i) a resolution approving the plan of arrangement by which the Simplification will be implemented (the “Arrangement Resolution”), and (ii) a resolution approving an amendment to BIP’s limited partnership agreement to, among other things, provide for the Simplification (the “LPA Amendment Resolution” and, together with the Arrangement Resolution, the “BIP Transaction Resolutions”).

Each of the BIP Transaction Resolutions required the affirmative vote of (i) unitholders holding BIP units that in the aggregate represent a simple majority of the outstanding BIP units as of the close of business on the record date of August 21, 2026, and (ii) a simple majority of the votes cast by unitholders excluding the votes of any unitholder whose votes were required to be excluded for the purposes of “minority approval” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).

Approximately 60% of the issued and outstanding BIP units as of the record date were represented in person or by proxy at the Unitholders’ Meeting and over 99% of the votes cast were in favor of both resolutions.

Each of the BIP Transaction Resolutions was also approved by over 99% of the votes cast by minority unitholders for the purposes of “minority approval” under MI 61-101. Accordingly, all unitholder approvals required to implement the Simplification in respect of BIP have been obtained.

BIP’s full report of voting results in respect of the Unitholders’ Meeting have been filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulators and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and will be available under BIP’s profile on SEDAR+ at https://sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at https://sec.gov.

If the necessary approvals are obtained, the hearing to obtain the final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Simplification is expected to be held on or about November 3, 2026. Subject to the receipt of the final order, it is anticipated that the Simplification will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.

For additional information on the Simplification please see the joint management information circular filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulators and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which is available on SEDAR+ at https://sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at https://sec.gov. Securityholders are urged to read the circular carefully.

Please note that BIP has applied for and received exemptive relief from the Ontario Securities Commission in order to not require further approval by the holders of Class A Shares of BIP Inc. for any future distributions of Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Class A Shares under a prospectus, conditional upon obtaining the required securityholder approvals described in the joint management information circular. Accordingly, (i) in respect of BIP, a vote in favor of the Simplification by BIP unitholders constituted voting in favor of BIP Inc.’s ability to conduct future issuances of Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Class A Shares pursuant to a prospectus, and (ii) in respect of BIPC, a vote in favor of the Simplification by BIPC shareholders will, in the event that the Simplification is approved by BIPC shareholders, constitute voting in favor of BIP Inc.’s ability to conduct future issuances of Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Class A Shares pursuant to a prospectus, in each case, without requiring further approval by holders of Class A Shares in accordance with National Instrument 41-101 – General Prospectus Requirements.

Brookfield Renewable NYSE: BEPC said it expects accelerating electricity demand, driven by electrification, reindustrialization, artificial intelligence and data centers, to support continued investment across renewable generation, battery storage and nuclear power.

At the company’s investor presentation, Chief Executive Officer Connor Teskey said the current energy market is characterized by demand that “significantly outweighs supply,” creating opportunities for companies with operating capabilities, development pipelines and access to capital. He said Brookfield Renewable has delivered record financial performance, development activity and capital raising, and expects to remain selective while pursuing higher-growth opportunities.

Get Brookfield Renewable alerts:

Focus on renewables, storage and nuclear Teskey said renewables, batteries and nuclear are positioned to capture a substantial share of future power demand because each addresses different grid needs. He described renewables as the lowest-cost and fastest-to-install source of bulk generation, batteries as a cost-effective way to balance increasingly volatile grids, and nuclear as a source of large-scale baseload power and energy security.

The company said it operates renewable platforms in 35 countries and is nearing a run rate of 10 gigawatts of annual project commissioning. It also cited its 2026 acquisition of Boralex and increased investment in Isagen as examples of its continued expansion in renewable power.

Brookfield Renewable said battery storage has become its fastest-growing business segment. Teskey said the company has more than 5 GW of operating storage assets and an advanced pipeline of more than 30 GW, supported in part by the 2024 acquisition of Neoen and the 2026 acquisition of North American storage business Aypa.

Amanda Laszutko, managing director of investments at Brookfield Renewable Partners, said the company had virtually no battery storage capacity three years ago but now has 5 GW of operating capacity and an 80-GW development pipeline. She said battery costs have fallen roughly 60% over the last 24 months and that contract structures have evolved to provide greater long-term revenue visibility.

Laszutko highlighted a recently signed 15-year hybrid solar-and-storage power purchase agreement in Australia with a large hyperscale customer. The agreement covers 140 MW and was described as one of the customer’s first combined solar-plus-storage PPAs in the country.

On nuclear, Teskey said Brookfield sees the beginning of a multidecade new-build cycle. He said Westinghouse, which services more than 60% of operating nuclear reactors globally, is positioned to benefit from both new construction and ongoing reactor life extensions, uprates, operating services and fuel fabrication. The company said Westinghouse has signed agreements with the U.S. government that will provide more than $100 billion of capital to support nuclear new-build activity.

Development and M&A targets increase Laszutko said Brookfield Renewable has two primary avenues for growth: developing projects through its existing platforms and acquiring new platforms through mergers and acquisitions. The company has a 90-GW advanced pipeline across solar, storage and wind, she said.

Brookfield Renewable developed 8 GW over the last 24 months, compared with less than 1 GW annually in 2021, according to Laszutko. The company now expects to deliver approximately 11 GW annually beginning in 2028, nearly 40% above the amount delivered over the last 12 months.

The company also raised its five-year capital deployment target to more than $11 billion from $10 billion. Laszutko said future deployment is expected to include baseload power, nuclear, solar, wind, batteries and newer technologies reaching commercial inflection points.

Brookfield Renewable has more than 150 investment professionals globally and closed four investments over the past two years with enterprise values exceeding $6 billion each, Laszutko said. She pointed to Neoen as an example of a transaction executed bilaterally with three institutional-investor partners and supported by a co-investment vehicle.

Cash-flow growth and funding model Chief Financial Officer Patrick Taylor said Brookfield Renewable reported record funds from operations per unit over the past 12 months and increased its distribution for the 15th consecutive year. The company raised $37 billion of financing in 2025 and expects to raise more than $40 billion in 2026, he said.

Taylor said 90% of the company’s cash flows and generation are contracted for more than 12 years, while 70% of cash flows are inflation-linked. More than 90% of cash generation comes from mature technologies, and 95% of financing is fixed rate with a 14-year term, according to Taylor.

The company said it expects inflation, recontracting of operating assets, execution across its portfolio and development activity to support cash-flow growth of more than 10% without including M&A. Taylor said Brookfield Renewable expects to commission 10 GW in 2027 and 11 GW in 2028.

Capital recycling is also becoming a larger component of the funding model. Taylor said the company generated $1 billion of net-to-BEP capital recycling proceeds in the last 12 months and $4 billion over the last five years, at returns of 18%, above its 15% target. Brookfield Renewable expects to generate at least $1 billion annually from capital recycling going forward.

Taylor also cited corporate simplification, nuclear exposure and further scaling of the funding model as potential near-term valuation catalysts. Teskey added that the company may repurchase shares and pursue initiatives intended to increase index inclusion and liquidity, while continuing to focus on financial performance.

5 Stocks Built to Thrive in a Higher-for-Longer EconomyBrookfield Infrastructure Partners NYSE: BIP said it expects its growth rate to accelerate as contributions from its organic backlog, recent investments and capital recycling begin to build, while management emphasized that the company intends to maintain its financial discipline and target higher-return opportunities.

Chief Executive Officer Sam Pollock said the company expects funds from operations, or FFO, per unit growth of approximately 10% this year, compared with average annual growth of about 7% from 2023 through 2025. Since inception, Brookfield Infrastructure has compounded FFO per unit at roughly 14%, Pollock said.

Why an Underrated Dividend Giant Deserves Space in Your Portfolio“We believe the business is now moving back toward the growth profile that the investors in this room have come to expect from us,” Pollock said.

Financial position and capital deployment Pollock said Brookfield Infrastructure has generated 10% FFO per unit growth year to date while retaining about $2.6 billion of corporate liquidity, BBB+ investment-grade credit ratings and a 65% payout ratio. He said the company has secured roughly $1.4 billion in growth investments and expects to deploy more than $2 billion this year.

5 Highest-Rated Dividend Stocks According to MarketBeatThe planned deployment is diversified among investments in a semiconductor facility, the company’s growth backlog and industrial partnerships, according to Pollock. Management expects average returns of 15% or higher on capital currently being deployed, above its historical target range of approximately 12% to 15%.

Pollock attributed the opportunity set to what he described as an infrastructure “super cycle,” the expansion of AI infrastructure and Brookfield’s ability to source opportunities through its broader ecosystem. He said the company is not pursuing higher returns by assuming greater risk, citing its focus on high-quality counterparties, contractual protections and underwriting discipline.

Brookfield Infrastructure has also secured approximately $1.4 billion in asset-sale proceeds this year, excluding about $1.2 billion in proceeds from the Csquare initial public offering that were used to repay debt. Pollock said the company remains on track to exceed its $2 billion annual capital-recycling target.

Simplification proposal and scale strategy The company is proposing to combine BIP and BIPC into a single publicly traded corporation, BIP Inc. Pollock said the underlying business and investment strategy would not change, but the revised corporate structure is intended to make the security easier to own, broaden its potential investor base and improve trading liquidity.

A security-holder vote is scheduled for Oct. 14, with closing expected in the fourth quarter if approvals are received. Pollock said the combined company would be roughly a $30 billion business and could have more than twice the trading liquidity.

President Scott Peak said scale has become essential to accessing major infrastructure opportunities and corporate partnerships. He cited Brookfield Infrastructure’s $200 billion of assets under management, 50 portfolio companies in 15 countries, more than 100 closed transactions representing over $75 billion of equity deployed, and another $20 billion of equity projects under development.

Peak said larger transactions can offer better entry values because they may have fewer credible buyers, while also providing more opportunities to improve operations, margins, contracting, capital allocation and financing structures. He said recent acquisitions including Triton, Hotwire and Colonial had produced bolt-on acquisitions, margin improvements and asset monetizations within their first 12 to 24 months of ownership.

According to Peak, Brookfield Infrastructure’s average equity deployment per deal rose to $600 million since 2021 from $300 million between 2015 and 2020, while average target returns increased to more than 15% from 12% to 15%.

AI infrastructure opportunity Management identified AI infrastructure as a major new deployment channel, alongside traditional mergers and acquisitions and organic growth within existing portfolio companies. Managing Partner Sikander Rashid said Brookfield now estimates AI infrastructure capital expenditures could reach $10 trillion, up from the $7 trillion addressable market figure the company had previously discussed.

Rashid said the company’s Radiant platform will provide GPU-as-a-service, including data centers and compute capacity, to technology companies and sovereign governments. He said Brookfield is focused on take-or-pay contracts, investment-grade customers and contract structures designed to provide returns on and of capital over the initial term.

Managing Director Lief Williams described AI factories as large-scale, purpose-built campuses integrating power, data-center infrastructure and, in some cases, compute capacity. He said a gigawatt-scale facility can require $50 billion to $60 billion of investment and could generate unlevered yield-on-cost returns above 10%.

Williams highlighted announced AI factory sites in Paducah, Kentucky, and Keephills, Alberta. He said the Paducah site is a former Department of Energy campus that previously served 3 gigawatts of load, while the Keephills site has seven high-voltage transmission lines connected to its interconnection point.

Rashid also said Brookfield expanded its partnership with Bloom Energy to $25 billion from an initial $5 billion. The partnership is intended to provide behind-the-meter power solutions, with Brookfield serving as capital partner for investment-grade customers under contracts generally lasting 10 to 15 years.

Organic backlog and growth outlook Chief Financial Officer David Krant said Brookfield Infrastructure’s approved organic-growth backlog has reached $6 billion, excluding capital for its Intel joint venture. The company also has another $3 billion of projects in planning and commercialization and at least $6 billion of earlier-stage opportunities, he said.

Krant said Brookfield expects to deploy $2 billion to $3 billion annually going forward across traditional M&A, AI infrastructure and organic growth. The company expects to invest about $2.5 billion in AI infrastructure over the next five years, or roughly $500 million annually.

Management is targeting a minimum 15% equity return across those channels. Krant said the base business can grow 4% to 6% annually from inflation indexation and volume growth without additional investment, while deploying $2 billion annually at a 15% return could add roughly 5% per-unit growth.

Pollock said Brookfield Infrastructure’s units currently offer a dividend yield of more than 5%. He said management expects accelerated FFO growth and the proposed corporate simplification to support future distribution growth, liquidity and investor interest.

Brookfield Corporation is positioned for 15% annual compounding, driven by BWS capital inflows and BAM's investment expertise. BWS's insurance asset growth and projected earnings could match BN's current market value within five years, supporting long-term upside. BN trades at a wide discount to my valuation range ($46–$67/share), with index inclusion and structural simplification as additional catalysts; I rate BN a buy for long-term holders.

There are plenty of reasons to buy stock in Brookfield Renewable (BEPC -2.60%). The Canadian company's focus on green power energy solutions through hydroelectric, wind, solar, and electric storage gives it a combined capacity of 48,700 megawatts (MW).

The accelerating power consumption from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, cloud computing, and industrial electrification has created growing demand for clean, large-scale electricity, and Brookfield Renewable is uniquely positioned to meet that need for large tech companies.

The stock's price has plummeted more than 20% so far this year, turning a great dividend stock into a smart deal for value-oriented investors. Here are three reasons to buy the stock this month before it bounces back.

The company is racking up power purchase agreements In the second quarter, the company reported new power purchase agreements (PPAs) for more than 2,600 MW of development projects. In the summer of 2025, the company signed a PPA with Alphabet (GOOG -3.58%) (GOOGL -3.80%) to deliver up to 3,000 MW of hydroelectric capacity in the U.S.

It also has a PPA with Microsoft (MSFT +0.52%) that it signed in 2024 to provide up to 10.5 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy power, using carbon-free generation capacity across North America and Europe between 2026 and 2030. The framework is structured to help Microsoft reach its target of matching 100% of its electricity consumption with zero-carbon energy. The deal is the largest corporate clean energy framework in history.

Brookfield Renewable is one of the few companies with the global scale needed to meet multi-GW corporate commitments.

The dividend is above 5% and is growing Brookfield Renewable's dividend yield, at its current share price, is around 5.12%. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 5% this year to $0.392, the sixth consecutive year it has increased its dividend.

The company's dividend is a priority, and it has said its goal is to grow its dividend by 5% to 9% annually, delivering a total return of 12% to 15% annually. Over the past three years, its total return has been slightly more than 28%, and its dividend has grown by 16%.

The company's funds from operations (FFO) payout ratio, as of the second quarter, was 63%, leaving room for continued increases.

The stock is priced for buying Brookfield Renewable is trading at slightly more than one times trailing sales and one times forward sales. That's a historically low level for the stock, which was trading at about five times trailing sales five years ago.

The company is healthy, and with another quarter like Q2, it should be enough to give the stock a spike. Brookfield Renewable reported a record $421 million in FFO in the quarter, or $0.62 per unit, up 13% and 11%, year over year, respectively. Revenue was $1.71 billion, up 1% over the same quarter a year ago.

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners remains a Buy, supported by 10% FFO growth, a 5.2% yield, and robust data/AI-driven expansion. Q2 saw all segments grow, with data center FFO up 36% and midstream up 17%, underscoring BIP's organic and acquisition-led growth strategy. Capital recycling continues to deliver, with $1.2B in asset sale proceeds YTD and a potential $5B NorthRiver sale to fund further high-growth investments.

Reliance Worldwide said ‌it agreed to a roughly $2.9 billion buyout from global investment firm Brookfield , a reprieve for the Australian plumbing supplies company that is facing the impact of ​U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty.

Picture an electricity network in the middle of a global expansion, or a data center cooling system designed to run for decades without a hiccup. That is the world of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP +1.26%). As a global owner and operator of critical utility, transport, midstream, and digital platforms, it focuses on the unglamorous but essential physical assets that keep the modern economy functioning. With the stock trading at $36.88 as of Sept. 11, 2026, and delivering a 19% return over the past year, it serves as a massive, complex machine built to convert inflation-linked utility contracts into steady cash flow.

Our proprietary Hidden Gems scoring system assigns Brookfield Infrastructure Partners an overall Superscore of 77 out of 100, placing it in the Strong category. This score evaluates financial performance, market position, technology, leadership, and valuation to provide a single signal for the company's health. A 77 places it in the Top ~15% of every company we score. The Superscore is one data-driven signal worth investigating, and this article pairs the reasons the score is high with the reasons it is not higher, so you can weigh both sides before doing more work.

Why BIP Has a 77 SuperscoreData segment growth: The company generated over $1 billion in revenue from its data segment during 2025 by commissioning 220 megawatts of hyperscale capacity to meet the surging compute demand of the AI era.Disciplined capital recycling: By divesting mature, lower-yielding assets--such as its Australian export terminals--the company crystallizes value at attractive prices to fund higher-growth digital infrastructure without relying on excessive debt.Inflation-linked contracts: Roughly 90% of the company's cash flows are derived from regulated or contracted long-term agreements, which provide a reliable defensive buffer against economic volatility.Operational efficiency: The company has maintained stable SG&A expenses over the last five years, even as its total revenue grew at a 19% CAGR from 2021 to 2025, demonstrating strong operating leverage across its global platform.Why Is BIP's Superscore Not Higher?Strained interest coverage: Interest coverage compressed to 1.5x in 2025 as the company managed a $69.1 billion debt load, leaving a tighter margin for error in a high-interest rate environment.Complex corporate structure: The partnership model involves master services agreements and concentrated ownership by its sponsor, creating potential conflicts of interest for minority unitholders in strategic capital allocation.High valuation risk: The stock currently trades at a trailing P/E of 41.72, which leaves little margin for error should the company's organic growth or capital recycling pace begin to cool.In Brookfield's case, tracking funds from operations (FFO) is a better measure of valuation than P/E. The company maintains a high return on net tangible assets, which ranks in the top ~39% of companies we track. Because it is a highly capital-efficient business that earns outsize profits on a relatively small base of hard physical assets, the market often pays a premium for its ability to turn every point of revenue growth into durable cash flow.

Is BIP Right For Your Portfolio?This stock warrants a closer look if...

You are searching for durable exposure to electric utility stocks that also provide an inflation hedge through contracted cash flows.You want to participate in the AI build-out by owning the physical utility and data center backbone rather than pure-play software assets.You may want to keep researching before buying if...

You are sensitive to high corporate debt levels and the potential for interest rate volatility to impact cash flow margins.You prefer companies with simpler corporate structures that offer minority shareholders more direct influence over strategic decisions.The Superscore is one data-driven signal worth investigating, not a stand-alone buy recommendation; you should weigh it against your own research, financial goals, and risk tolerance before acting.

My 5-year prediction for BIP stockBrookfield Infrastructure can play a niche role in any equity portfolio. Owning it is similar to having a financial advisor or portfolio manager for your infrastructure asset holdings. Managers at Brookfield have proven to be asset allocation experts. They transparently recycle capital by selling existing assets that have increased in value, and replacing them with new assets expected to bring higher returns.

The company aims to recycle $3 billion again in 2026, as it did last year. Brookfield Infrastructure targets a total annual return of 12% to 15% on invested capital over the long term. Brookfield can fit like an electric utility in a portfolio, but with much more potential for growing its return on assets.

Brookfield's company structure is a bit complicated, though. That's where even more potential lies for investors. Brookfield Infrastructure is planning to merge its partnership and corporate entities into a single traditional corporation following special shareholder meetings on Oct. 14. The meetings are for BIP unitholders and Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (BIPC +1.01%) shareholders. BIPC was created to offer investors an alternative to the original partnership that can add complexity come tax time.

The structure simplification plan aims to convert BIP and BIPC into one publicly traded corporation, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Inc. The benefits the company expects include improved trading liquidity, increased demand from existing indexes, and the potential for additional index inclusion. It will also simplify analyses of the entity, attract a larger pool of investors, and, importantly, remove burdensome tax reporting forms for BIP partnership holders. It could also result in favorable dividend tax rates for many investing in taxable accounts.

Considering that the Brookfield corporate entity (BIPC) has traded at up to a 20% premium to the partnership over the past year, I would expect the newly combined corporate structure to command a premium. Combine that with management's expected annual shareholder returns mentioned above, and I believe Brookfield Infrastructure stock will be worth about $55 per share in five years. That could provide investors with market-beating returns, especially including its generous dividend. And with the added comfort of an experienced and trustworthy management team.

Brookfield Infrastructure offers a rare mix of undervaluation, ~5% yield, and 6-7% dividend growth, with 85% of revenues regulated or contracted. The BIP-BIPC unification eliminates the K-1 burden, removes the partnership discount, enhances liquidity, and is expected to catalyze near-term price appreciation. Fair value is estimated at ~$48, implying 28.5% upside from current levels, supported by both historical multiples and a dividend discount model.

The Company also purchased 23,300 shares of the Preferred Shares, Series 52 at a weighted average price of C$17.55 per share on the TSX.

Brookfield believes that the renewed normal course issuer bid will provide the flexibility to use available funds to purchase Preferred Shares where it aligns with the Company’s investment and capital allocation strategies. All Preferred Shares acquired by Brookfield under this bid will be cancelled.

Brookfield intends to enter into an automatic share purchase plan on or about the week of September 21, 2026 in relation to the normal course issuer bid. The automatic share purchase plan will allow for the purchase of Preferred Shares, subject to certain trading parameters, at times when Brookfield ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading black-out period, insider trading rules or otherwise. Outside of these periods, the Preferred Shares will be repurchased in accordance with management’s discretion and in compliance with applicable law.

Investors in Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIPC - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Oct 16, 2026 $30 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.

What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.

What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Brookfield Infrastructure shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Brookfield Infrastructure is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Utility - Gas Distribution industry that ranks in the Bottom 35% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 30 days, no analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while one analyst has revised the estimate downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from earnings of 38 cents per share to a loss of 56 cents in that period.

Given the way analysts feel about Brookfield Infrastructure right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

Brookfield Wealth Solutions is rapidly expanding through acquisitions in annuities and insurance, now merging back into Brookfield Corporation via a 1-1 stock exchange. Q2 revenues surged over 60% year-on-year to $2bn, but net income dropped sharply, with a half-year net loss of $453m driven by volatile investment results. Benefits and operating expense ratios deteriorated, with the half-year benefits ratio rising to 103% and operating expenses exceeding 32%, raising sustainability concerns.

Investors in Brookfield Business Corporation (BBUC - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the October 16, 2026 $20.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.

What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.

What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Brookfield Business share, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Brookfield Business is a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) in the Business - Services Industry that ranks in the Top 22% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analyst has increased his estimate for the current quarter, while one has revised his estimate downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter to move from $1.27 per share to $1.25 per share in the same time period.

Given the way analysts feel about Brookfield Business right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Often times, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.
