BofA’s Hartnett says concentrated U.S. stock returns are likely to persist
Investing.com - Jefferies raised its price target on XPLR Infrastructure (NYSE:XIFR) to $16.00 from $13.00 on Wednesday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The new target represents significant upside potential from the current price of $8.42, with InvestingPro analysis indicating the stock is currently undervalued.
The firm updated its forecast for Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) pricing following a detailed Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) study across various generation resources.
Jefferies expressed increased confidence that XIFR will be able to re-contract its existing assets at premium rates as current PPAs expire, noting that the rolloff of Investment Tax Credits ( ITC (NSE:ITC)) and Production Tax Credits (PTCs) over time will have an inflationary effect on asset resets.
The research firm indicated growing bullishness on all power assets, including incumbent renewables like those in the XPLR Infrastructure portfolio.
The $3 increase in the price target to $16 per share reflects a higher Net Present Value (NPV) assessment of the company’s assets.
