Overweight

Reason

Wells Fargo analyst Shahriar Pourreza initiated coverage of CenterPoint Energy with an Overweight rating and $44 price target. The firm launched coverage of the powers and utilities group with 19 Overweights and 14 Equal Weights. Wells prefers names where with growth prospects "actually driving earnings higher" or stocks that are trading at valuation levels "not necessarily reflecting fundamentals." Wells added Constellation (CEG) to its "Best Idea List" for power and Sempra (SRE) to its "Best Idea List" for utilities. Utilities are "materially undervalued" as a "perfect storm of tailwinds" is hitting the group that is much more structural in nature than cyclical, contends the firm.
