Evercore ISI analyst Jonathan Chappell maintained a Buy rating on New Fortress Energy LLC (NFE) yesterday and set a price target of $19. The company’s shares closed last Monday at $13.90.
Chappell wrote:
“We continue to push back start times on some facilities, by 3-6 months, as well as the start-up of NFE’s liquefier (4Q21), resulting in lower near-term earnings/cash flow forecasts, but the long-term run rate outlook remains robust, and that assumes only minor conversion of “in discussion” volumes. All told, we continue to take a long-term view on NFE’s operational and financial evolution, and we retain our Outperform rating and 24-month price target of $19. Capital questions answered, with future requirements a good problem to have. We believe the biggest overhang to NFE shares since the IPO in January has been the inability to quickly secure debt financing to cover ambitious capital commitments.”
According to TipRanks.com, Chappell is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 6.9% and a 50.0% success rate. Chappell covers the Services sector, focusing on stocks such as Navigator Holdings, Genco Shipping, and DHT Holdings.
