2025-04-04
New
Reason
Goldman Sachs analyst Carly Davenport initiated coverage of NRG Energy with a Buy rating and $129 price target. The firm believes NRG's base business has "robust" free cash flow power, which should be supportive of attractive capital returns to shareholders. Further, there is upside not priced in around generation additions, front of the meter data center deals, and cross selling in the SmartHome segment, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

2025-03-03
Reason
BMO Capital analyst James Thalacker raised the firm's price target on NRG Energy to $115 from $100 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The firm cites the company's Q4 EBITDA beat as it benefited from strong demand and positive market conditions as well as a recasting of a Vivint-related amortization of capitalized customer acquisition costs.

2025-02-19
Reason
Morgan Stanley raised the firm's price target on NRG Energy to $99 from $86 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm's raised target is mostly driven by the incorporation of the most recent EBITDA guidance, which was higher than its estimates, and the $750M growth initiatives through 2029 identified by the company along with Q3 results, the analyst tells investors.

2025-01-21
Reason
Evercore ISI analyst Durgesh Chopra upgraded NRG Energy to Outperform from In Line with a price target of $126, up from $74. The firm maintains a positive outlook for the power and utilities group, saying improving fundamentals and a favorable valuation backdrop should support outperformance through the first half of 2025. Factors such as inflation moderating, potential future interest rate cuts, and rising electricity demand are expected to act as tailwinds, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Evercore anticipates elevated investment in utility infrastructure, particularly driven by data centers, with more deals and announcements expected in 2025. It upgraded four names after rolling out 2024 earnings forecasts.

2024-11-19
Reason
BMO Capital raised the firm's price target on NRG Energy to $100 from $94 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The company provided its much-anticipated long-term outlook refresh with its Q3 results, and both 2024 and 2025 EBITDA midpoints exceeded consensus estimates, the analyst tells investors in a research note. At an implied sub-12% free cash flow yield and 12-times P/E on 2026 estimates, and given NRG's significant buybacks, upside leverage to power, and additional value creation potential, BMO sees incrementally favorable risk-return in its shares, the firm adds.

Reason
Wells Fargo raised the firm's price target on NRG Energy to $140 from $130 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm cites a compelling 5-year update. The core services operations plus share buybacks point to a 10% EPS CAGR. Upside drivers tied to power margins and data center customers could be meaningfully additive, Wells adds.
