Aris Water Solutions downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Citi

Citi analyst Spiro Dounis downgraded Aris Water Solutions (ARIS) to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $26, up from $18. The firm cites valuation for the downgrade following the stock’s over 160% outperformance versus the broader midstream group since the beginning of 2024. Share outperformance from here may be more challenging with the “low hanging fruit” on Aris Water’s cost savings largely achieved, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
