Air Products intends to build a network of permanent, commercial-scale multi-modal hydrogen refueling stations stretching from Edmonton to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The permanent, multi-modal hydrogen refueling stations will be equipped to serve heavy-duty vehicles, such as commercial and municipal trucks and buses, as well light-duty hydrogen fuel cell cars. The stations will be along the Queen Elizabeth II Highway that runs through Calgary and Edmonton, providing a fueling experience and speed that is similar to gasoline or diesel. This hydrogen infrastructure will help Western Canada reach a goal of 5,000 hydrogen or dual fuel vehicles on the road in five years.

BofA raised the firm's price target on FirstEnergy to $35 from $30 and keeps an Underperform rating on the shares. The firm, which is adjusting its 2024 through 2026 EPS estimates to $2.67, $2.86 and $3.00, respectively, still sees the need for further pension de-risking and deleveraging for FirstEnergy's discount to dissipate.

Morgan Stanley upgraded Alcoa to Equal Weight from Underweight with a price target of $36.50, up from $28.50. The analyst now sees a more balanced risk/reward for Alcoa shares given the company's continued progress on cost saving measures, reduced uncertainty on the path to resolving bauxite mining issues in Western Australia, and potentially more Inflation Reduction Act benefits to come. The operational concerns that persisted throughout 2023 have largely been de-risked, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
