CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $3 to $165, reflecting a 20.7x forward P/E on our next-12-month EPS estimate. We lower our 2026 EPS view by $0.05 to $7.76 and raise our 2027 EPS view by $0.01 to $8.40. In March 2026, DTE executed a 1 GW data center agreement with Google and filed contracts with the MPSC for approval; a decision is expected by September 2026. The Google data center agreement complements the previously approved 1.4 GW Oracle project. The agreement is structured to deliver approximately $1.7B in affordability benefits for existing customers over the contract life, while requiring Google to pay the full cost of energy usage, including all related infrastructure investments. DTE intends to pause future electric rate requests for at least two years following its most recent request, dependent on the Oracle data center coming online by 2027. On a compound annual basis from 2025 to 2028, we anticipate approximately 7.5% EPS and 6.8% dividend growth, highly competitive with multi-utilities peers.

National Australia Bank's Asset Quality Risks Build, But Demand Remains Solid, Says Jefferies
National Australia Bank (ASX:NAB) is facing rising asset quality risks as it posted a downbeat half-yearly result, Jefferies said Monday in a note, adding that demand remains resilient and costs are being managed.The bank reported a 26% decline in fiscal 2026 first-half cash earnings to AU$2.64 billion, missing Jefferies' estimate by 3%.The investment firm reduced its fiscal 2026 and 2028 EPS estimates by 1%, citing lower earnings from liquid assets and higher impairment charges for potential loan losses, partly offset by stronger profit margins.Jefferies said that investors are concerned about the bank's exposure to small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) in an uncertain macro environment. NAB is also setting aside more provisions for bad loans than its peers, which is impacting its returns by more than 1%.However, the brokerage continues to see an attractive risk-reward on the profile. Despite recent share underperformance, margins are expected to improve in the second half of the year.Jefferies maintained its buy rating on National Australia Bank but cut its price target to AU$46.98 from AU$47.73.
