There’s less room for this nuclear stock to power higher
Maintaining a neutral rating, Citigroup slashed its price target on Constellation stock to $297 from $348. According to Thefly.com, Citigroup revised its price target after updating its model for the company.
Based on yesterday’s closing price of $248.37, the new price target implies upside of 19.6%.
Citigroup’s reduced price target is even more noteworthy, juxtaposed with the bullish outlook of other firms. Last week, for example, Morgan Stanley hiked its price target on Constellation stock to $364 from $359.
Today’s drop provides a great buying opportunity
Unsurprisingly, shares of Constellation are selling off today with Citigroup’s lowered expectations. Savvy investors, however, recognize that times like these offer great buying opportunities. Nothing has fundamentally changed for Constellation, a nuclear energy producer that’s helping power much-needed data centers.
For investors seeking nuclear energy exposure from an established company that’s consistently profitable — rather than next-generation nuclear reactor developers — Constellation stock is a smart consideration.
