Wells Fargo analyst Neil Kalton lowered the firm's price target on Xcel Energy to $57 from $64 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. Wildfire risk continues to detract from what is a good story, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm thinks the outcomes of the Smokehouse and Marshall fires will result in manageable liabilities for Xcel, and while the firm agrees with management's position that tfederal and/or state legislation is needed to provide financial protection for utilities, until then, it is very difficult to assess the present value of Xcel's future wildfire risk, Wells says.

Barclays analyst Lauren Lieberman raised the firm's price target on Kimberly-Clark to $136 from $132 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The company reported strong Q1 results, both on productivity and volume, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
