Oppenheimer analyst Colin Rusch maintained a Buy rating on TerraForm Power (TERP) today and set a price target of $15. The company’s shares opened today at $12.63, close to its 52-week high of $12.72.
Rusch commented:
“TERP continues to execute on its detailed evaluation and management of its portfolio while improving its balance sheet. We believe the company has carefully assessed its risk with Spanish policy and may see share appreciation as that risk is taken off the table in coming months. At the same time, TERP is moving forward with growth plans focusing on wind asset repowering where the company anticipates 9%-11% equity returns. With the company raising the dividend and showing a clear path to growing cash flow without raising additional equity, at least for the near term, we remain constructive on shares and raise our PT to $15 as we flow through dividend adjustments.”
