A wave of analyst activity swept the utilities sector Friday. Multiple firms removed recommendations on major US power names, while target price changes dominated the action.
FICO — Fair Isaac Corporation — drew the brightest upgrade. Consensus target prices rose to $1,476, up from $1,473. The credit-scoring giant carries a market cap of $23.5 billion. Short interest sits at 8.6% of free float.
NRG Energy took a target price cut. The consensus average fell to $189.44 from $191. NRG carries a $26.5 billion market cap. Short interest remains low at 3%.
VST — Vistra Corp — saw a recommendation removed from the consensus. One fewer analyst now tracks it actively. The power generator is a $49.7 billion company. Short interest is a slim 2.9%.
Utilities dominated the broader sweep of changes. WEC Energy, DTE Energy, CMS Energy, , and all lost analyst recommendations in the same session. That is an unusual cluster. It may reflect a housekeeping event at one major firm.
Public Service Enterprise Group saw its target trimmed slightly, to $85.81 from $86.39. Dominion Energy and NiSource both received modest target increases.
