B.Riley FBR Remains a Buy on Just Energy Group Inc (JE)


B.Riley FBR analyst Christopher Van Horn maintained a Buy rating on Just Energy Group Inc (JE) today and set a price target of $6. The company’s shares closed last Monday at $1.88, close to its 52-week low of $1.78.

Van Horn noted:

“Just Energy (JE—Buy, $6 PT) reported F1Q20 results, AMC, on August 14. Recall that, in June 2019, JE announced it will have a formal review to explore strategic alternatives. In our view, the company continues to explore many things, including a possible sale of the company. The prospect of an acquisition keeps us at Buy rating and based on recent takeouts in the utility and retail energy space (El Paso Electric to be acquired by Infrastructure Investment Fund, NRG acquiring Stream, and Vistra acquiring Crius), we expect a transaction to be a likely strategic alternative. We believe there are multiple players in the retail energy space that could and would look at the JE assets, including and IGS Energy, to name a few.”
