Atmos Energy price target raised to $172 from $153 at Barclays

Barclays raised the firm’s price target on Atmos Energy (ATO) to $172 from $153 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm expects the company to achieve its fiscal 2025 guidance range and sees fiscal 2026 earnings per share of $8.00 on the benefits of Texas legislation. However, the stock more than reflects Atmos’ growth outlook, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
