Bill Peterson has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight EVgo’s potential for growth and market positioning. Despite a reduction in the price target from $6 to $5, the company is expected to be the first among its peers to achieve positive EBITDA, which is a significant milestone. This expectation is based on EVgo’s strategic expansion of its charging network and its strong partnerships with car manufacturers and ride-sharing services, which are anticipated to drive revenue growth.
EVgo’s network reliability and ability to serve a wide range of electric vehicles without adapters, including Teslas, further bolster its market appeal. The company’s prudent capacity additions in response to increasing utilization rates position it well for future demand. Additionally, while there are concerns about potential economic policy impacts and funding uncertainties, EVgo’s management remains confident in the security of its DOE loan, which could accelerate its network expansion. These factors collectively support the Buy rating, despite the current challenges in the market environment.
According to TipRanks, Peterson is an analyst with an average return of -11.6% and a 32.73% success rate. Peterson covers the Basic Materials sector, focusing on stocks such as Nucor, United States Steel, and Steel Dynamics.
