Credit Suisse analyst Michael Weinstein raised his price target for NextEra Energy to $250 from $242 and reiterated an Outperform rating, saying he wants to give more accurate credit for unregulated growth at large-scale renewable developer Nextera Energy Resources. The analyst says he understands that many investors see the company as close to fully valued in the market, and he sees upside to $250.

BMO Capital raised the firm's price target on NextEra Energy to $72 from $70 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares after its Q1 earnings beat. The company's 2.765 MWs of originations, net 1.5 GWs added to NEER's backlog, and positive outlook for robust data center-related demand drove the outperformance on the day, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The stock warrants a premium valuation given its fundamental and thematic drivers, including one of the world's largest renewable backlogs and favorable recovery of investments, the firm added.
