How Brookfield Asset Management Could Improve TerraForm Power

The market certainly sees some good things ahead for TerraForm Power (NASDAQ: TERP), the embattled yieldco that's being partially bought out by Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM). Shares are trading at $13.60 as of this writing, well exceeding the cash buyout price of $11.46 per share. That means that when the buyout takes place, a vast majority of shareholders will take their $1.94 special dividend and one share of new TerraForm Power stock (or less if the deal is prorated).

It's unusual for a stock to trade so far above a buyout price, but in this case, it may be warranted. In fact, Brookfield could add a lot of value to TerraForm Power in the long term.
