60%+ returns in 2025: Here’s how AI-powered stock investing has changed the game
Investing.com - Morgan Stanley raised its price target on Fluence Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:FLNC) to $14.00 from $12.00 on Wednesday, while maintaining an Equalweight rating on the energy storage company’s stock. This target remains below the analyst high target of $25, according to InvestingPro data.
The price target adjustment represents a 16.7% increase from the investment bank’s previous valuation of the company, which specializes in energy storage products and services. Despite this increase, the stock currently trades at $18.47, significantly above Morgan Stanley’s target and appears overvalued according to InvestingPro’s Fair Value assessment.
Morgan Stanley cited a larger-than-expected total addressable market (TAM) for data centers as the primary reason for the price target increase.
Despite the higher price target, the firm maintained its Equalweight rating, indicating a neutral stance on the stock’s potential performance relative to the sector over the next 12-18 months.
Morgan Stanley noted it would consider a more positive outlook on Fluence Energy if there were indications that the company’s margin structure could "expand more meaningfully from thin current levels." This concern is validated by InvestingPro data showing the stock has experienced a remarkable 243% price increase over the past six months despite analysts not anticipating profitability this year.
