TransAlta Corporation
TransAlta Corporation shows a solid 12‑month price gain of about 28% alongside a 6‑month advance, yet this is tempered by a notable 3‑month drawdown of roughly 23% from a higher level within the 52‑week range. Technical indicators point to moderately positive momentum with an RSI near 62 and price holding above the 21‑day EMA but below the 50‑day SMA, suggesting an intermediate consolidation after prior strength. Short interest remains low relative to shares outstanding but with an elevated short‑volume ratio intraday, indicating active two‑sided positioning rather than extreme directional pressure.

TransAlta Stock Up 29% as Fund Trims 794,400 Shares in $12 Million Move

Potrero Capital Research sold 794,400 shares of TransAlta (TAC) in Q4 2025, valued at approximately $11.86 million, reducing its stake to 7.34% of fund assets. Despite the trimming, TransAlta shares have surged 29% over the past year, outperforming the S&P 500. The sale appears to be risk management following strong outperformance rather than a bearish signal, as the fund maintains TAC as a top holding alongside other major positions.

Sentiment note

While the stock has appreciated 29% over the past year and outperformed the S&P 500, the fund's decision to trim its position suggests caution despite strong performance. The sale appears to be profit-taking and risk management rather than a bearish view, as the fund maintains TAC as a significant 7.34% holding. The company faces headwinds from softer Alberta power prices, though it maintains operational strength with $238M adjusted EBITDA and advancing data center and energy transition projects.
