Microsoft shares jump after fourth-quarter earnings beat on AI-fueled cloud growth
Investing.com - JPMorgan upgraded Auren Energia SA (BVMF:AURE3:BZ) from Underweight to Neutral on Wednesday, raising its price target to R$11.50 from R$9.00.
The upgrade follows Auren’s stock underperformance, with shares down 17% against the sector year-to-date, according to the investment bank’s analysis.
JPMorgan cited good execution, including turnaround efforts and energy trading, as factors supporting the rating change. The firm also noted higher power prices expected from the second half of 2025 onward.
The investment bank highlighted Auren as one of the companies in its coverage most leveraged to higher power prices, stating that a R$10/MWh change in power prices implies approximately 10% change in net present value.
Despite the 22% upside potential reflected in the new price target, JPMorgan stopped short of an Overweight rating, citing regulatory risks that could pose downside risks to renewables.
