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.
