Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about NRG Energy stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "NRG Energy is gaining from its asset drop-down program that is in sync with its long- term growth strategy. Its cost saving measures, providing power to a wide variety of customers, debt reduction plans and expansion of renewable operations should further drive growth. Since the company does not depend on a single customer to generate revenues, migration of customers to other operators does nothave anysignificant impact on the company’s earnings. Shares of NRG Energy have returned more than the broader industry in the last six months. However, stringent environmental regulations, restructuring of GenOn, fluctuating weather conditions and intense competition in the wholesale power markets are headwinds." (7/11/2017)
• 2. UBS AG analysts commented, "Following our latest mgmt. meetings, we are formally rolling forward our price target to reflect the reduction of the entire unallocated corporate SG&A budget of $140 Mn as part of the first stage of cost cutting reduction targets. While this appears achievable, it appears likely below Street expectations of well north of $300 Mn+. We see only a slight positive skew to shares, particularly with more challenging macro datapoints including nascent concerns on HY turnaround (more neg for DYN)." (3/20/2017)
