B.Riley FBR analyst Alex Rygiel maintained a Buy rating on Quanta Services (PWR) today and set a price target of $44. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $33.07.
Rygiel wrote:
“We remain buyers of PWR following an overreaction to earnings and the possibility of pressure from a pair-trade unwind. We are adjusting our estimates following 2Q19 results which were mostly in line with estimates, excluding a charge associated with a large telecom project in Peru. On a reported basis, we are lowering our EBITDA and EPS estimates for 2019, however, on an adjusted basis, excluding the Peru project charge, we are modestly raising our 2019 estimates. Our 2020 estimates remain mostly unchanged. Backlog continued to grow to another record of $12.8B (+11% Y/Y). We are lowering our price target from $49 to $44 and maintain our Buy rating.”
