2025-01-13
Reason
The final rule for 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit was released, with the Treasury Department providing a $3.00/kg tax credit for the production of hydrogen factored by the lifecycle carbon intensity of the delivered molecule, TD Cowen tells investors in a research note. The firm says the updates pursue "flexibility" while maintaining the constrictive "Three Pillar" framework and believes the legacy nuclear and hydro companies are Green/Pink second half winners. TD Cowen is "cautious" on seeing the rule as "final," and expects "root-and-branch" level changes to 45V guidance in 2025, as Republicans have multiple tools to get this done. Companies in the sector include Constellation Energy (CEG), PSEG (PEG), Vistra (VST), Plug Power (PLUG), Air Liquide (AIQUY), Linde (LIN), and CNX Resources (CNX).

Hold
Maintains
$490 → $480
2024-12-18
Reason
Citi lowered the firm's price target on Linde to $480 from $490 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm updated estimates, price targets, and ratings in conjunction with its 2025 chemicals outlook. Citi maintains a "broadly neutral view" on commodity chemicals, saying most chains have some form of supply overhang and the first half of 2025 earnings are looking very similar to the second have of 2024. The firm says its top picks are reflective of confidence on long-term earnings power and durable competitive advantages at reasonable valuations in the cases of Ecolab (ECL) and Corteva (CTVA), and a "compelling" activist campaign in the case of Air Products (APD).
