What are Wall Street analysts saying about Sempra Energy stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Sempra Energy stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Sempra Energy appears to be well positioned, given its stable earnings from utility subsidiaries. Moreover, the company continues with systematic investments in its infrastructure development projects. The company expects to make capital expenditure and investments of approximately $15.2 billion. Through these investments, the company aims at vigorously modernizing its electric transmission lines and substation infrastructure. However, Sempra Energy’s operations are subject to risks associated with breakdown or failure of equipment or processes. Also, it is subject to interest rate risk related to the issuance of debt. With the current U.S. economy being in favor of expanding interest rate, the credit market may not turn out to be much favorable for Sempra Energy. The company's shares underperformed its industry in the past 12 months." (2/12/2019)
- 2. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "We are initiating coverage of Bloom Energy (BE) with a Perform rating. While we see the potential for Bloom to be a core solution provider in disrupting the power market and leading to the possibility for multi-decade growth, we see limited valuation support at current price levels and also see significant execution in front of the company."
