<p>Looking ahead, AQN has outlined a cautious yet optimistic outlook, underpinning its expectations with a clear acknowledgment of the uncertainties tied to its planned divestiture of the renewables business. The company has opted not to provide adjusted net earnings per common share guidance for 2024, highlighting the transitional nature of the upcoming year. This strategic pivot towards simplifying its business model is poised to redefine AQN’s operational focus, emphasizing a leaner, more efficient operating profile that aligns with a forward-looking strategy. </p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
