Shares of Ameresco (AMRC) plummeted 13.31% in the pre-market trading session on Friday morning, February 28th, following a series of price target cuts by analysts who expressed concerns about the company's growth prospects.
Canaccord Genuity analyst George Gianarikas slashed the firm's price target on Ameresco from $36 to $27, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. Similarly, B. Riley analyst Christopher Souther lowered the price target from $31 to $29 but reiterated a Buy rating.
The sharp sell-off in Ameresco's shares also comes amid broader market concerns about a potential stock market bubble.

This warning has added to overall market jitters, potentially contributing to the sell-off in Ameresco and other stocks.
