UBSは、エクセル・エナジーの火災リスクは投資家によって過小評価されていると指摘した。

By

-- UBS証券は月曜日のレポートで、Xcel Energy(XEL)の株価は上昇する可能性があると指摘した。投資家が山火事リスクを過度に織り込んでいるとみられることに加え、堅調な収益成長、投資計画の上振れ、好ましい規制結果、そして株価評価の改善余地が株価上昇の要因となっている。 Xcelは、公益事業グループの中でもトップクラスの9%超の1株当たり利益成長率を達成すると予想されており、コロラド州での発電・送電設備増強や、サービスエリア内の大規模なGoogleデータセンターに関連する需要増など、発電・送電プロジェクトによるさらなる成長余地も十分にある。 投資家の懸念はコロラド州とテキサス州の山火事状況に集中しているが、UBS証券は、同社のこれまでの有限責任事業の歴史に基づき、市場はこのリスクを過度に織り込んでいると指摘した。 Xcelは、多くの同業他社よりも管理しやすい水準の自己資本で収益成長を実現しており、UBS証券はこれも株価を支える要因の一つと見ている。 UBSは買い推奨を維持し、目標株価を89ドルから91ドルに引き上げた。また、Xcelが成長計画を実行し、投資家の懸念を払拭するにつれて、同社の株価は電力会社グループの過去の平均評価額に近づくと予想していると付け加えた。
