NextEra Energy Partners LP (NEP) saw a significant 10.74% drop in its stock price on Wednesday, according to trading data. The plummet occurred amid a broader market sell-off, with the NASDAQ Composite Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average also declining.
The sharp decline in NEP's share price was triggered by recent developments in the company's strategy and subsequent downgrades from brokerage firms. NEP, formerly known as NextEra Energy Partners, announced its decision to reposition its business to focus on funding renewable energy investments rather than raising capital. This strategic shift led to concerns among analysts and investors.
Wells Fargo and Scotiabank were among the brokerages that lowered their price targets for NEP following the company's repositioning. Wells Fargo slashed its price target by a substantial 60%, citing the potential challenges in attracting a new shareholder base after the company suspended its distribution. Scotiabank also expressed skepticism, struggling to craft a bullish thesis for NEP due to its lack of yield, negative EBITDA and free cash flow growth projections for the next two years, and a flat outlook for 2026-2030.
