We maintain our Neutral rating on GLBL owing to our view that, to the extent that SUNE has resource (pricing concessions, PIK transfers) with which to re-build confidence in the YieldCo drop-down business-model, we believe the parent's focus will be on Terraform Power (TERP/OW), initially, not GLBL. We are lowering our GLBL estimates for 3Q to reflect timing of completion for projects announced, though we still expect the initial portfolio to be complete by year-end 2015. With the stock trading at a ~15% dividend yield, we look for management to discuss potentially buying back stock with excess liquidity, rather than buying projects that typically have a 11% unlevered cash-on-cash yield. Our December 2016 price target is $14, based on a DCF.

Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks

SunEdison, Inc. (Overweight; Price Target: $21.00)

Investment Thesis

Long-term growth in wind and solar generating capacity seems inevitable

Demand for wind and solar power originates in falling unit cost/watt, growing demand for electricity in emerging nations, and government policy that seeks to de-carbonize the global economy. BNEF estimates that ~$6 trillion will be invested in wind and solar capacity over the next 25 years. SUNE, as a leading global developer of renewable generating capacity, will participate in this growth opportunity through development and sale of systems and through ownership of wind and solar farms, realizing gross profit from sales, and cash flows from ownership of operating assets.Global wind and solar generating capacity should reach about 1.4TW as soon as 2020, yielding up to ~$170 billion of cash available for distribution (CAFD).

Capital constraints are a serious risk, but we think the recent sell-off is overdone

Owing to access of third party funds via warehouse facilities, SUNE has the ability to develop projects for future sale or drop-down to the YieldCos, without near-term constraint. The sell-off in TERP and GLBL shares does, however, reduce the value of the YieldCo currency for acquisitions of the completed projects, weighing on their ability to deliver DPS growth commitments at the YieldCo level owing to dilution. This equity “death-spiral” is part catalyzed by negative sentiment regarding all dividend yielding instruments (pending Fed interest rates rising) and the impact of weak energy prices on the whole MLP/YieldCo space, in our view. We think the

liquidity issues can be remedied over time, and investor sentiment can turn positive very quickly regarding the quality of the asset pipeline and the visibility into future growth it yields (as it did post the October - December 14 sell-off). We also believe that SUNE can improve the YieldCos’ currencies by taking payments-in-kind (PIK) instead of cash for project drop-downs and dividends or by using equity at-the-money (ATM) follow-ons. We would take advantage of this sell-off to build positions in the entire SUNE group of stocks.

We prefer TerraForm Power within the SunEdison “ecosystem”

Within the SunEdison “ecosystem”, our rank order of preference for the stocks is TerraForm Power (TERP/OW/$35 price target), SunEdison (SUNE/OW/$21 price target), followed by TerraForm Global (GLBL/N/$14 price target). We believe that TERP offers a predictable cash flow stream and will be supported by SunEdison during times of capital markets turmoil (i.e., current conditions). That said, during more favorable market conditions, we would favor SUNE owing to its effective control over TERP as well as the upside provided by IDR payments. GLBL is our third pick within the ecosystem owing to elevated emerging markets risks at present (i.e., Brazil), though we believe this risk can be mitigated as the portfolio diversifies and the underlying projects become more seasoned.

Valuation

Maintain Overweight. We believe the stock is significantly undervalued based on our sum of the parts DCF analysis. We peg 2016 year-end fair value at $21.00 based on an if-converted share count of 391mm shares.

Table 1: Discounted cash flows for the DevCo and GP yield a $21.00 Price Target

Source: J.P. Morgan estimates. Share count is based on 'if-converted' share count relating to 2018 convertible debt, 2021 convertible debt, and perpetual convertible debt.

Risks to Rating and Price Target

Rising interest rates could weigh on valuations. If interest rates rise then the discount rate for valuing wind and solar assets will rise, potentially dampening returns. Of course, this is not specific to SUNE/TERP/GLBL, nor to the YieldCos, but we expect the market to be volatile for a while as investors re-calibrate return expectations.

Sustained low gas prices could impede growth in renewables. A significant and sustained drop in fossil fuel prices, particularly natural gas, could slow adoption of wind and solar power in several key markets, Europe and North America. The withdrawal of subsidies ahead of expectations could also lead to slower than expected adoption of renewables. Failure to meet expectations regarding the cost of wind and solar could also slow adoption relative to expectations.

SUNE needs access to the capital markets to maintain growth. SUNE is encumbered with ~$3.5 billion of debt and ~$6 billion of non-recourse loans and other obligations, constraining growth somewhat despite the ability to use warehouse facilities to construct and hold projects for future drop-down. The YieldCos have sufficient liquidity (about $1 billion) to fund planned DPS growth through 2016, but are thereafter severely limited in their ability to buy assets from the sponsor (or third parties) unless TERP and GLBL escape the ongoing equity “death-spiral” (lower stock prices mean more shares must be issued to fund acquisition of drop-down assets, which is dilutive to DPS prospects).

Wind and solar asset performance could fall short of expectations. Transalta and Pattern Energy have recently reported wind levels that are below historical norms, leading to electricity output that is lower than expected. In some regions, we have seen examples of grid operators curtailing wind and solar farms, which can also lead to lower energy output than expected, and therefore lower CAFD. Also, some of the wind and solar projects could encounter technical problems, not currently anticipated. Subsidies, feed-in-tariffs, and other types of government support can be withdrawn, changing the NPV on projects. Finally, some of SUNE’s projects are located in relatively high-risk locations (e.g. GLBL’s wind farms in Brazil), exposing the company to foreign exchange and sovereign risks.

Execution issues may arise. Investors have expressed concerns that the company is trying to do too much too quickly. This came to a head with the recent Vivint acquisition, which coincided with the GLBL IPO process and followed a sequence of intense M&A transactions, including the First Wind and Invenergy deals. It seems some investors believe that the YieldCo DPS growth commitments are excessive, and that the firm will be unable to sustain growth-rate beyond the next three years, owing in part to the IDR burden on the YieldCos. Some investors have expressed the view that cash-on-cash unlevered yield, and/or IRR on certain projects is not accretive given the recent increase in cost of equity.

Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks

TerraForm Power, Inc. (Overweight; Price Target: $35.00)

Investment Thesis

TerraForm Power (TERP) is a growth-oriented, dividend-paying company that owns and operates a diverse portfolio of contracted clean power generation assets, mainly solar and wind, that yield high-quality, tax-shielded cash flows, acquired initially from SunEdison, the parent company, or “sponsor.” Owing to depreciation and NOLs, we do not expect TERP to pay taxes for at least 10 years. The company’s mandate is to operate in low-risk environments, with low country risk, low regulatory risk, and low counterparty risk. We think the combination of dividend yield, growth, and clean tech exposure will appeal to a broad swath of MLP/YieldCo, technology, energy, and SRI investors. We also believe the firm’s rapidly developing acquisition strategy can yield CAFD and dividend upside, relative to expectations.

Valuation

The stock is currently yielding 9.4% based on FY16E dividend per share of $1.75, which looks compelling compared to the average yield of 4.3% since IPO. TERP’s spread versus 10-year US treasuries is now ~850bps compared to an average of 200bps since IPO, also compelling, in our view.

Our Dec 2016 price target is $35 based on our DCF analysis. Our price target implies a yield of ~5.4% based on our forecast FY17 dividend of $1.90. We think a premium valuation is justified by the backdrop of forecast solar PV growth, the strength of the sponsor, and the visibility into growth yielded by call rights and ROFO.

Risks to Rating and Price Target

Interest-rate risk With renewable YieldCo dividends in the 5.0-11.0% range, we think TERP is at risk of re-rating if interest rates rise in 2016. We note that a 25bp increase in our WACC assumption would result in a ~$1.00 decrease in share price based on our DCF assumptions. We believe TERP’s strong dividend growth prospects mitigate the risk somewhat.

Downside risk to our revenue, EBITDA, and CAFD expectationsProjects could be delayed or fail to deliver against customer specifications. In these circumstances, the firm’s ability to deliver ~20% dividend growth (2015-2019) likely would be compromised and the stock re-priced. Investors run the risk of CAFD/unit dilution if the company uses equity to fund projects more aggressively than currently forecast.

Longer term, the ability to sustain dividend growth could diminishThe withdrawal of solar incentives (e.g., reduction in US ITC tax to 10% of fair market value) is scheduled for January 1, 2017. Also, price-based competition could increase for generating assets, and it could simply become more difficult to deliver growth as the overall portfolio expands.

Some acquired assets could fail to deliver contracted energy The firm has acquired a diverse array of assets, including wind turbine farms, some of which may have obsolete technology, could fail, or the energy output could fall short of expectations as the asset ages, leading to unanticipated investment to replace or re-energize the system.

Replacement cost of assets could weigh on future CAFD, relative to expectationsThe cost of re-energizing or replacing projects post PPA could be higher than anticipated, capex that could weigh on long-term CAFD growth expectations.

Other company-specific risksWhile partly mitigated by diversification, other company-specific risks includepotential counterparty default, fluctuating exchange rates (~30% of revenue in non-US currencies), and risks specific to the PPAs (e.g., re-sets in the UK projects, REC and ROC valuation).

TerraForm Global, Inc. (Neutral; Price Target: $14.00)

Investment Thesis

GLBL provides growth and yield investors with an opportunity to participate in the long-term growth of CAFD originating from the rapidly expanding cumulative capacity in wind and solar generating capacity in emerging markets.

Valuation

Our Dec-16 price target is $14.00, based on a DCF, using what we believe are conservative assumptions. This 2016 PT would imply a forward year (2017) dividend yield of 8.4%, which seems conservative relative to the peer group. We believe the closest comps within the YieldCo space are TerraForm Power (TERP/OW), 8point3 Energy (CAFD/OW), and NextEra Energy Partners (NEP/NC).

We assume little dividend growth through FY18E, then inclining to 5% annually beginning in FY19E as capital markets may be more supportive of growth. Our WACC of 12.4% is based on a 14% cost of equity (60% of total structure), and 10% cost of debt (40% of total). We assume a 1% perpetuity growth rate. Our price target implies a yield of 8.3% using our FY16 dividend estimate, 8.3% based on our FY17 estimate, and 8.6% based on our FY18 estimate.

Risks to Rating and Price Target

Liquidity. GLBL emerged from a difficult IPO process with much lower proceeds than originally envisaged. IPO, private placement debt proceeds and available cash yielded $2.6 billion of sources, and a net cash position of near zero after paying off debt and acquiring the initial portfolio. GLBL has about $485 million of net liquidity from revolving credit for drop down acquisitions, which is sufficient to fund CAFD and DPS growth through mid 2016 to hit the first 20% DPS growth target of ~$1.30. The firm can probably eke out about $250 million of additional acquisitions using project and HoldCo debt (Debt/EBITDA stands about 4.7x and can probably stretch to about 5.5x), but plan A will be to revisit the equity markets if GLBL yield falls to 7% or lower in the next 12 months. Separately, many investors are monitoring the liquidity of the sponsor (now ~$3bn with the warehouse funding announced on 8/17), to evaluate its ability to deliver finished projects and inject liquidity into the YieldCo. In this context, some investors feel the IDR burden is excessive for GLBL and a re-set, higher MQD, or longer forbearance period is justified. We believe the IDR burden is not material to cost of capital in the next two years.

The Equity Death-Spiral is front-and-center risk. The YieldCo’s commitment to a target DPS growth rate depends on its ability to issue new equity at a low cost to fund the acquisition of MW assets and associated CAFD without excessive DPS dilution. If the stock declines, then more shares must be issued to acquire a MW of capacity and associated CAFD, which is dilutive to DPS relative to prior expectations. This can lead to the kind of equity “death spiral” encountered in July-September 2015, where falling stock prices feed lower growth expectations, which lead to falling stock prices, and so on. This loss of confidence, unhinged from the fundamental reality of asset quality and pipeline growth prospects, can persist until the point at which the stock trades at asset value (ex growth) or confidence returns. Of course, the flip side to this death-spiral is the virtuous cycle, in which rising stock prices lessen the dilutive effect of issuing equity for future acquisitions, which allows the company to post DPS growth at or above expectations. Recent swings in sentiment have been somewhat mystifying, but we think illustrate the risks associated with an early-stage asset class that is currently largely owned by hedge-funds, not longer-term investors.

Wind or solar asset performance could fail to meet expectations owing to sustained periods of unusual weather activity, curtailments by the off-taker, system outages, and natural disaster, which could lead to lower-than-expected revenues. Wind assets, in particular, have generally exhibited volatility around expected levels, factoring in seasonality, and we note that ~59% of the GLBL initial portfolio is

represented by wind, and 70% of the call rights portfolio. This risk is topical because recent reports from NextEra and Pattern Energy, both YieldCos, have revealed wide negative variance to wind level norms in the Western region of the United States on a 2015 YTD basis, associated with the El Nino. Separately we note that some grid operators and utilities are unable to completely integrate renewables into the grid, leading to curtailment in instances where the grid is unable to accommodate peaky wind and solar energy. China increased wind curtailments to 15% of capacity in 1H15, for instance. Curtailment of solar farms in Japan in 2014 also shed a light on what can happen if the grid is poorly architected.

Country-specific risk. GLBL exposes investors to country-specific risks that might include rampant inflation, volatile foreign exchange rates, capricious capital controls, ineffective or absent rule-of-law, unreliable regulatory frameworks and so on. Brazil, for instance, represents 24% of GLBL's initial portfolio, and a bigger 45% portion of the near-term call rights list. Brazil was recently downgraded by Moody’s to Baa2, citing weak economic performance and a higher debt burden. The country has a high and rising inflation rate (CPI at 8% in 2015) and the Real has fallen about 45% versus the US Dollar over the last year. GLBL hedges 100% of CAFD on a 3 year rolling basis at a cost of about 2% of CAFD, mitigating some of the risk associate with the ~70% of non-dollar denominated PPAs. CAFD forecasts also factor in a 3% average withholding tax leakage across the portfolio.

Counterparty risk. Nearly 90% of CAFD originates in PPAs with government-related entities or government-regulated Utilities, which are generally good credits within the target EM countries. These credits are however unknowns to most US equity investors, but better understood by emerging market bond investors. Some equity investors will look to the TerraForm Global bond yield as a measure of the sovereign and counterparty risk. The TerraForm Global 9.75% bonds are currently trading at 12.0% yield.

LAP deal terminated. The SunEdison decision to not proceed with acquisition of LAP assets, which includes Hydro systems in Peru, could leave GLBL with a gap in the initial portfolio, which could lead to 2016 CAFD and DPS falling short of expectations.

The chart(s) show J.P. Morgan's continuing coverage of the stocks; the current analysts may or may not have covered it over the entire period. J.P. Morgan ratings or designations: OW = Overweight, N= Neutral, UW = Underweight, NR = Not Rated

Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe: J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected total return is compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it does not appear in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan’s research website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
