Argus analyst Gary Hovis raised his price target on Xcel Energy to $64 and kept his Buy rating, citing the upside potential on the stock after the company returned to kilowatt-hour sales growth in the most recent quarter. The analyst also views Xcel Energy as a "stable regulated utility" that should generate increased dividend payments and "modest" stock price appreciation thanks to its "well operated" subsidiaries, solid cash flow growth, and "balanced" regulation.
