Pre-Market Outlook

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Utilities Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

AES's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) short percent of float has risen 12.05% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 35.19 million shares sold short, which is 7.53% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.85 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>AES Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738170024_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for AES has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing AES's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, AES's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.35%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

BofA Securities analyst Dimple Gosai revised the rating or price forecast on several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/clean-energy">clean energy stocks </a>ahead of the earnings results.
First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>): The analyst cut the price forecast from $246 to $236, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FSLR/analyst-ratings">while maintaining a Buy rating.</a>
The analyst writes that updates on the A/D ruling will be pivotal for pricing power, though near-term customer commitments may stay limited.
The analyst says that monitoring warranty remediation costs and the shift of India-manufactured supply to the U.S. will be crucial for evaluating capacity utilization and gross margin gains.
For FY24/FY25, Gosai estimates revenue of $1.502 billion with an adj. EBITDA margin of 44.6% and $5.516 billion with a 55% margin (slightly above consensus).
Fluence Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLNC#NASDAQ">FLNC</a>): The analyst cut the price forecast from $25 to $20, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/flnc/analyst-ratings">while reiterating a Buy rating.</a>
Taking about the key focus areas, the analyst expects FY25 revenue cover to rise to the mid-80% range, 25% of U.S. projects to use domestic cells in FY25 and maintain stability in market share.
Gosai estimates revenue of $361 million and gross margin of 12.7% ahead of consensus at $257 million and 11.1% for first quarter 2025.
For FY25, the analyst sees revenue of $3.84 billion near the middle of the guidance range ($3.6 billion-$4.4 billion).
HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HASI#NYSE">HASI</a>): Gosai retained the price forecast of &nbsp;$37 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hasi/analyst-ratings">a Buy rating on the stock</a>.

The analyst expects to closely monitor guidance updates, particularly regarding the projected 8%-10% annual adjusted EPS growth through 2026 and the outlook for 2027 amidst policy uncertainties.
The analyst's adjusted EPS estimate for fourth-quarter is 61 cents (slightly higher than the consensus of 59 cents) and for 2024 stands at $2.43 (vs. $2.41 consensus).
Clearway Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CWEN#NYSE">CWEN</a>): The analyst maintained the price forecast of $32 and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/cwen/analyst-ratings">Buy rating on the stock</a>.
Gosai anticipates that wind production data from key western states could provide upside during the seasonally weaker fourth-quarter.
The analyst highlights updates on the path to achieving the 2027 CAFD guidance as a key factor, noting recent M&amp;A activity, including Tuolumne Wind, and the offer of Honeycomb, which add visibility toward reaching the $2.50 midpoint.
The analyst estimates 2024 EBITDA/CAFD of $1.17 billion/$406 million (roughly in-line) and 2025 EBITA/CAFD of 1.24 billion/$432 million (above consensus).

Gosai says that key focus areas for the company include ensuring stability in order flow, securing greenfield projects, and tracking developments related to ITC impacts, which are pivotal for project economics.
While utility partnerships are expected to increase, maintaining cost competitiveness and improving margins will be critical for achieving the company&#8217;s goals, adds the analyst.
The analyst's 2024 revenue estimate falls at the lower end of the guidance range of $1.4 billion-$1.6 billion, and expects gross margins to be below consensus at 24.3%, vs. the 26.6% consensus and 28% guidance.
Also, the analyst sees 2025 revenue and EBITDA below consensus.
The AES Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>): The analyst maintained the price forecast of $11 and an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/aes/analyst-ratings">Underperform rating on the stock</a>.
The analyst expects the outlook for the near term to be impacted by one-off headwinds, including the expiration of the Warrior Run PPA, divestitures in Brazil and Ohio, and droughts in Columbia. FLNC monetization is not expected in the near term.
The analyst says they are looking for updates on the $3.5 billion asset sale program while anticipating near-term EPS dilution and execution risks in the renewables segment.
Gosai estimates 2024 EBITDA of $2.65 billion, at the lower end of the $2.6 billion-$2.9 billion guidance and in line with consensus at $2.66 billion.

Top 3 Utilities Stocks That Could Lead To Your Biggest Gains This Month

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying more Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>).
On Jan. 2, JMP Securities analyst Andrew Boone downgraded Uber from Market Outperform to Market Perform and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UBER/analyst-ratings">maintained the price target of $95</a>.
The AES Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) is a buy, Cramer said. &#8220;I think it's time to pick up that utility.&#8221;
On Dec. 6, AES increased its quarterly dividend from 17.25 cents to 17.595 cents per share.
Cramer said he doesn't like PENN Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>).
On Dec. 13, JP Morgan upgraded the stock from Neutral to Overweight and raised its price target from $19 to $27.
When asked about Nucor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), Cramer said, &#8220;It's been very, very tough to own this great steel maker.&#8221;
On Dec. 16, the company provided fourth-quarter guidance, expecting EPS of 55 cents to 65 cents, versus the consensus of 86 cents.
Lazard, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAZ#NYSE">LAZ</a>) is &#8220;really inexpensive,&#8221; the &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host said.
On Dec. 20, Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Aidan Hall downgraded Lazard from Outperform to Market Perform and lowered the price target from $65 to $57.

On Dec. 20, the FDA approved the company's Zepbound, a weight loss drug designed to treat moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in adults with obesity.
&#8220;I think the stock at 15 times earnings is fine,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Labcorp Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LH#NYSE">LH</a>). &#8220;The problem is its healthcare, and people do not like the healthcare stocks.&#8221;
On Dec. 17, Morgan Stanley analyst Ricky Goldwasser maintained Labcorp with an Overweight and raised the price target from $260 to $270.
