Bitcoin price today: falls to 2-week low below $113k ahead of Fed Jackson Hole
Investing.com - RBC Capital upgraded Sunrun (NASDAQ:RUN) from Sector Perform to Outperform and raised its price target to $16.00 from $12.00. The stock, currently trading at $13.92, has shown strong momentum with a 20% gain in the past week and over 57% surge in the last six months.
The upgrade reflects RBC’s view that Sunrun deserves a multiple rerating due to increased certainty about long-term opportunities following treasury guidance clarification. According to InvestingPro data, while analyst targets range from $9 to $25, investors should note the company operates with significant debt and rapid cash burn.
RBC Capital noted that changes to OB3 guidance have positive implications for Sunrun’s business model, while clarity on commence construction rules for the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Production Tax Credit (PTC) further derisk the company’s longer-term growth outlook and value proposition.
The new price target implies approximately a 15% cash generation yield to 2026, which RBC believes falls within Sunrun’s historical range.
The firm’s analyst Christopher Dendrinos made the rating change as part of his assessment of Sunrun’s improved business outlook following the regulatory clarifications.
In other recent news, Sunrun reported strong second-quarter earnings, with revenue reaching $569.3 million, marking an 8.7% increase compared to the previous year and surpassing consensus estimates of $559 million. This performance has led Mizuho to raise its price target for Sunrun to $25, maintaining an Outperform rating, as the company exceeded expectations in solar and storage additions. UBS also increased its price target to $16, citing revised forecasts for Sunrun’s solar capacity deployment in the coming years. Freedom Broker adjusted its price target to $14.50, following the positive earnings report, while maintaining a Hold rating.
Additionally, Wells Fargo raised its price target to $14, based on a new valuation framework, and kept an Overweight rating on the stock. In another development, GLJ Research upgraded Sunrun from a Sell to a Hold rating, influenced by favorable U.S. Treasury guidance for the residential solar sector. These recent developments reflect a positive outlook from analysts on Sunrun’s future performance and growth potential.
