NJR Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
New Jersey Resources is experiencing several key positive financial developments. Firstly, the company is investing in its Leaf River service offerings, potentially leading to higher margins, and its current rate case filing could increase residential heating bills, thus generating further income. Secondly, management has highlighted customer growth, particularly in NJNG territories, and expansions at Leaf River - these factors could drive NJR to the higher end of its current target of roughly 7-9% yearly growth in NFE per share. Lastly, the regulatory risk for the company has reduced due to low gas prices and a transparent rate case strategy, further ensuring the stability of core operations.
Bears say
New Jersey Resources is facing a range of challenges impacting its projected earnings and overall valuation. Key risks stem from potential regulatory actions, continued obstacles in the midstream segment, a less profitable construct for their solar investments, and weak soft gas storage markets, all contributing to a downward adjustment of their target P/E multiple. Additionally, the lowered midpointFY24 CEV capex by -$43mn combined with lowering the NFE/sh of $0.68/sh against the consensus estimate of $0.73/sh, denotes potential financial difficulties, already affecting the outlook for New Jersey Resources.
