New Jersey Resources price target raised to $51 by Mizuho on mixed outlook

Investing.com - Mizuho raised its price target on New Jersey Resources (NYSE:NJR) to $51.00 from $50.00 on Thursday, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. The utility company, currently valued at $4.66 billion, trades at an attractive P/E ratio of 11.29x and offers a 4.09% dividend yield.

The price target adjustment comes as Mizuho noted that New Jersey Resources’ fiscal year 2025 outlook remains largely in line with management’s expected 7-9% growth CAGR for NFE per share.

Offsetting these positive factors, NJR reduced its FY25 CapEx outlook for its ’CEV’ segment by $20 million, with management commentary suggesting tempered medium-term growth expectations for the segment following OBBBA.
