Brookfield Infrastructure Soars 2.73% in Three Days, Hits 2025 High

Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC) rose 0.44% today, marking its third consecutive day of gains, with a total increase of 2.73% over the past three days. The share price reached its highest level since March 2025, with an intraday gain of 1.19%.

The strategy of buying BIPC shares after they reach a recent high and holding for 1 week yielded moderate returns over the past 5 years, with a 7.56% annualized return and a 37.08% total return as of the latest data point. However, the strategy underperformed the broader market, as evidenced by the 10.43% annualized return and 51.78% total return of the S&P 500 index over the same period. The Sharpe ratio of 0.64 suggests that the strategy carried moderate risk-adjusted returns, with a maximum drawdown of -15.52% during the 5-year period. Overall, while the strategy showed some resilience during market downturns, it lacked the performance of a broadly diversified portfolio.

Recent investment activities have shown significant interest in Brookfield Infrastructure. Cibc World Markets Corp, Chapman Financial Group LLC, and First Trust Advisors LP have all acquired new positions in Brookfield Infrastructure Co. during the fourth quarter. This influx of investment suggests a positive outlook from institutional investors, which could potentially drive up the stock valuation.

Brookfield Corporation, the parent company of Brookfield Infrastructure, reported a 27% increase in distributable earnings to $1.5 billion on May 8, 2025. This substantial growth in earnings is likely to have a positive impact on Brookfield Infrastructure's stock price, as investors may view the company's financial health and growth prospects more favorably.
