On Wednesday, JP Morgan analyst Mark Strouse shared his insights on the clean energy sector during <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">a recap of fourth-quarter earnings</a>.
The analyst writes that power demand remains strong, particularly in utility-scale projects, with growing backlogs across all companies in this subsector.
While utility-scale challenges like transformer availability and financing have mostly stabilized, project-specific issues are projected to persist in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color" rel="noreferrer noopener">the near term, adds the analyst</a>.
Strouse says that the U.S. residential solar sector remains weak due to high interest rates, financing challenges, and lower growth projections from major installers.
The analyst expects clarity on potential changes to the Inflation Reduction Act to be a key near-term catalyst, with increasing Republican support in the House of Representatives.
Strouse writes that until policy clarity improves, he will continue to favor companies with strong U.S. manufacturing exposure, diversified markets, and long-term cash flow visibility.
This includes NEXTracker (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXT#NASDAQ">NXT</a>), GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) and HASI (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HASI#NYSE">HASI</a>), adds the analyst.
GEV: Strouse writes that while AI-related headlines may introduce short-term stock volatility, he notes the ongoing rise in gas power prices and customer demand for turbines will provide confidence in the company's future performance.
Additionally, the strong position of GEV's Electrification backlog supports the view that the company can achieve significant earnings growth over the next four years, regardless of hyperscaler capex plans.
GEV is a U.S. Equity Analyst Focus List pick. The analyst kept the price forecast at $436<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gev/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> with an Overweight rating</a>.
FSLR: The analyst anticipates the company will see a strong rebound in bookings during FY25, increasing visibility into FY27 and beyond, potentially at higher pricing if new tariffs or FEOC regulations are introduced.
The analyst kept the price forecast at $268, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fslr/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with an Overweight rating</a>.
NXT: Strouse says that the company&#8217;s scale, margin resilience, strong balance sheet, and geographic diversification make it a safe bet for investors in the current market.
The analyst maintained the price forecast of $61 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nxt/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and an Overweight rating</a>.
HASI: The analyst says that his estimates remain largely unchanged and updated the price forecast from $39 to $42 to reflect a ~30bps decline in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hasi/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a risk-free rate since the last update</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 writes that the company&#8217;s key factors to watch include progress on the >$5.5 billion pipeline, developments in the KKR partnership, and the stability of asset yields.
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).
Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BE#NYSE">BE</a>): The analyst cut the price forecast from $20 to $18, while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/be/analyst-ratings">reiterating an Underperform rating</a>.
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.

Looking for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/dividends">steady cash flow</a> in 2025? JPMorgan analysts have spotlighted four income-generating stock picks that offer dividend appeal and potential price upside. 
These are: Annaly Capital Management Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLY#NYSE">NLY</a>), Corning Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>), Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>) and HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HASI#NYSE">HASI</a>).
Here are the details on their top picks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Annaly Capital</h2>
With a hefty forward dividend yield of 13.85% (per <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent122024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> data), Annaly Capital shines as a beacon for income seekers. 
Analyst Richard Shane expects the mortgage REIT to benefit from a gradual yield curve steepening and rising MBS prices as quantitative tightening eases. 
Trading near $19.76, NLY is viewed as a stable dividend play, supported by mid-teen ROEs and rising interest spreads, according to the analyst. His price target for 2025 is $20.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Corning</h2>
Known for its innovation in glass and fiber optics, Corning offers more than shiny screens. 
Its modest 2.38% yield may seem subdued, but JPMorgan's Samik Chatterjee says this tech titan is poised for high-single-digit revenue growth. 
Riding on data center demand, telecom recovery, and AI-driven innovation, Corning's stock—currently at $48.18—has room to climb to $60 by the end of 2025, the analyst says.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Transfer</h2>
Pipeline powerhouse Energy Transfer is turning heads with a forward dividend yield of 7.06%. 
Analyst Jeremy Tonet sees untapped value in its discounted EV/EBITDA ratio compared to peers. 
With fundamentals like Permian egress and natgas logistics firing on all cylinders, ET, trading at $18.70, appears poised to reach Tonet's $23 target, presenting a compelling opportunity for midstream investors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HASI</h2>
Sustainability meets income in Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital. HASI's 6.29% yield sweetens the deal for this eco-friendly investment.
JPMorgan's Mark Strouse predicts a brighter outlook thanks to its KKR partnership and investment-grade rating. With shares at $28.72, Strouse forecasts a $42 price by 2025 as HASI reduces its reliance on public capital raises and executes on stable spreads.
Whether you're chasing high yields or balanced growth, these four income plays could be the backbone of your 2025 portfolio. 
From Annaly's robust dividends to Corning's AI-driven potential, JPMorgan's picks are all about turning steady streams into rivers of returns.

4 Dividend Picks For 2025: JPMorgan's Top Income Stocks To Energize Your Portfolio

The U.S. mortgage market hit a speed bump last week as rising interest rates pushed application activity lower, breaking a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s#:~:text=Econ%20%23s%20Recent%20News&amp;text=Markets%20are%20fully%20priced%20in,impact%20monetary%20policy%20for%202025.&amp;text=US%20private%20sector%20ended%202024,Manufacturing%20sector%20still%20in%20contraction.">five-week streak of growth.</a>
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), total mortgage applications decreased 0.7% for the week ending Dec. 13, 2024, signaling persistent challenges for buyers and homeowners navigating high-rate environments.
The average interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages on conforming loan balances — up to $766,550 — rose from 6.67% to 6.75%, snapping three consecutive weeks of marginal declines.
"Mortgage rates increased last week, leading to overall mortgage application activity decreasing for the first time in five weeks,&#8221; said Joel Kan, MBA's vice president and deputy chief economist.
&#8220;Buyers remained active in the purchase market, helped by gradually improving inventory conditions and a more positive outlook on the economy and job market,&#8221; he added.
The Mortgage Refinance Index fell 3% from the previous week, but still remained 41% higher than the same period in 2023. VA refinance applications plunged 17%, offsetting gains seen in prior weeks.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Housing Affordability: Renting vs. Owning</h3>
Mortgage rates remain near 7%, while home prices have risen in all 97 major U.S. cities. 
Bank of America examined the rent-versus-buy dilemma in 97 U.S. cities in a note to clients on Wednesday.
The result? In places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose, mortgage payments now account for a staggering 60-70% of median family income, making renting the clear budget-friendly option, according to the investment bank. 
&#8220;Regionally, it is still cheaper to rent than purchase for 82 out of 97 major cities in the US,&#8221; analyst Jeseo Park wrote. 
New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and El Paso are among the cities where it&#8217;s cheaper to own than rent.
"The housing market is still stuck between high mortgage rates and low inventories," said Park. 
"We've seen some relief with the Federal Reserve starting to ease monetary policy, but rates are unlikely to fall dramatically in the near term. Buyers should expect only mild improvements next year," she added. 
With the mortgage spread hovering around 2-2.5 percentage points and Bank of America analysts forecasting a 10-year yield of 4.25% in 2025, mortgage rates are expected to stay around 6-6.5% next year. 
&#8220;Given that many homeowners locked in low rates during Covid, a mortgage rate above 6% would still be too high to promote significant activity,&#8221; Park stated. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h2>
The iShares Residential and Multisector Real Estate ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REZ#NYSE">REZ</a>) edged up 0.1% on Wednesday, following twelve losses in the past thirteen sessions.
The VanEck Mortgage REIT Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MORT#NYSE">MORT</a>) climbed 0.5%, recovering from a 1.3% decline on Tuesday.
Stocks within the industry saw minimal movement as markets adopted a cautious, wait-and-see stance ahead of the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting.
Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HASI#NYSE">HASI</a>) and New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NYMT#NYSE">NYMT</a>) were among the top gainers in the MORT ETF, rising 1.8% and 1.2%, respectively. Meanwhile, Ares Commercial Real Estate Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACRE#NYSE">ACRE</a>) was among the laggards, slipping 0.9%.

Goldman Sachs Maintains Neutral on HA Sustainable, Lowers Price Target to $31

While 2024 has been rough for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/clean-energy">clean energy stocks</a>, JPMorgan analyst Mark Strouse sees 2025 as a year for selective opportunities in the sector. 
Strouse points to four standout stocks &#8211; First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), Nextracker Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXT#NASDAQ">NXT</a>), HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HASI#NYSE">HASI</a>), and Brookfield Renewable (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEP#NYSE">BEP</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEPC#NYSE">BEPC</a>). As top picks for investors looking to unwrap some green energy potential.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">First Solar: A Bright Spot Despite Political Clouds</h2>
First Solar's strong foothold in domestic manufacturing and likely retention of IRA 45X credits makes it a top contender. 
Strouse notes that potential U.S. import tariffs or regulations could disadvantage foreign competitors, giving First Solar a unique edge. With resumed bookings activity expected in 2025, this solar giant could shine even brighter, according to Strouse.
Price target: $282 by December 2025.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nextracker: Tracking Success With Superior Execution</h2>
Since its IPO, Nextracker has outperformed its peers with margin resiliency and geographic diversification. 
Its exposure to 45X tax credits and safe harbor orders positions it for potential upside in 2025. For investors searching for a dependable player in utility-scale solar solutions, Nextracker offers a compelling value proposition with significant potential for long-term returns, the analyst says.
Price target: $58 by December 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hannon Armstrong: Diversified &amp; Investment-Grade Ready</h2>
Strouse highlights Hannon Armstrong&#8217;s strategic resilience, citing its robust end-market diversification and newly secured investment-grade rating as key differentiators in a volatile economic landscape. 
The analyst sees the company&#8217;s potential for a lower cost of capital and consistent operational execution as critical catalysts for future growth, signaling a promising trajectory amid complex market conditions.
Price target: $42 by December 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brookfield Renewable: A Safe Haven In Clean Energy</h2>
Brookfield Renewable stands out by offering unprecedented scale and strategic diversification in a volatile market, capitalizing on the growing appetite for de-risked assets. 
The analyst points to the company&#8217;s record-breaking capital recycling strategy and consistent dividend payments as key attributes that position Brookfield Renewable as an especially compelling option for risk-averse investors seeking stability in the clean energy sector.
Price targets: $30 for BEP and $34 for BEPC by December 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Now?</h2>
Despite lingering macro headwinds and political uncertainties, Strouse believes clean energy's long-term fundamentals remain solid. Lower costs per watt and increasing power demand underpin the sector&#8217;s growth, offering compelling entry points for discerning investors.

Clean Energy's 2025 Comeback: Analyst Reveals 4 Gems Hidden In Market Turbulence

I admit it: I am something of a geek.
I spend a lot of time sitting around reading articles, crunching numbers, and engaging in other research-focused activities.
One of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon is with a game in the background (preferably baseball, but there has to be an offseason), reading the latest academic studies and insights.
Recently, I spent some time with a study on insider buying titled &#8220;Are CFOs&#8217; Trades More Informative Than CEOs&#8217; Trades?&#8221;
As it turns out, they are.
Everyone focuses on the CEO. After all, he is the top executive who sees everything: all the plans, all the ideas, all the sales figures, everything.
The CEO is the ship&#8217;s captain who sees all and theoretically knows all.
Why, then, does the CFO outperform?
Keeping our ship analogy, the CEO may be the captain, but the CFO oversees the engine room and the power plant.
He knows what cash is coming in, where it is going, and how the excess is being spent.
The CFO knows how much they owe and to whom they owe it.
The CFO is also present in every meeting and sees every plan and vision laid out by the CEO and other executives.
He also knows how these plans will impact the business&#8217;s financial health.
She is also best positioned to judge how these plans will likely impact the company&#8217;s value.
When the Chief Financial Officer buys, it is because the business is trading for less than the ultimate insider view says it is worth.
Here are three companies with recent significant buying by the Chief Financial Officer:
Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (Ticker: DMLP) is a master limited partnership that acquires, owns, and manages producing and non-producing mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits, and leasehold interests across the United States.
Its diversified portfolio spans 593 counties and parishes in 28 states, providing exposure to various oil and gas assets.
While the company is currently most active in the Permian and Bakken regions, it also has significant acreage in the Utica Shale and Marcellus Shale regions, which hold enormous amounts of natural gas.
Most energy industry insiders think that natural gas will be in huge demand as the energy source for developing AI to its full potential.
As a royalty trust, Dorchester is paid for every drop of oil and gas produced on the acreage they own. At the current price, the yield on the shares is over 10%.
CFO Leslie Moriyama is clearly a big believer in higher energy prices, as she has recently purchased over $500,000 worth of additional stock in the company.
HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (Ticker: HASI), formerly known as Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc., is a leading investor in climate solutions, focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other sustainable infrastructure markets across the United States.
HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (HASI) maintains a diversified portfolio across three primary markets: Behind-the-Meter (BTM), Grid-Connected (GC), and Fuels, Transport &amp; Nature (FTN). As of June 30, 2024, the portfolio distribution was approximately 47% in BTM, 40% in GC, and 13% in FTN.
The company&#8217;s investments encompass various asset classes, including equity, joint ventures, land ownership, lending, and other financing transactions. Notable investments include a structured equity investment in a 2.0 GW portfolio of contracted wind, solar, and solar-plus-storage projects, and a senior debt investment in a portfolio of operating landfill gas-to-renewable natural gas and wastewater treatment biogas-to-renewable natural gas plants.
CFO Marc Pangburn is not buying the death of renewables story, as he recently purchased a six-figure stake in the company.
Centene Corporation (Ticker: CNC), headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, is a leading managed care company specializing in government-sponsored healthcare programs. Founded in 1984, Centene has become a significant intermediary for government-sponsored and privately insured healthcare plans, offering a comprehensive range of services to individuals and families across the United States. The company&#8217;s portfolio includes Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and Marketplace insurance plans, serving over 28 million members nationwide.
In the third quarter of 2024, Centene reported total revenues of $42.0 billion, marking a 10% increase from the same period in the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by a 22% increase in Marketplace membership and a 49% rise in Medicare Prescription Drug Plans. The company&#8217;s adjusted diluted earnings per share stood at $1.62, surpassing analysts&#8217; expectations.
Despite a decline in Medicaid membership due to redeterminations, Centene&#8217;s diversified portfolio allowed it to navigate these challenges effectively. The company reaffirmed its full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance of greater than $6.80, reflecting confidence in its financial outlook.
The stock has sold off this year, finally attracting the interest of CFO Andrew Asher, who recently purchased $1 million worth of the company.
