What Wall Street Has Been Saying
🐂 Bullish Takeaways
-
Several firms, including UBS, Stifel, Roth Capital, Evercore ISI and RBC Capital, maintain positive ratings on EVgo even after trimming price targets, which signals continued interest in the long term potential of U.S. public fast charging.
-
UBS and Stifel both highlight that EVgo is positioned to benefit from ongoing build out of public fast charging infrastructure, and Stifel comments that the company is making progress despite what it calls "mixed" Q2 results.
-
Roth Capital and RBC Capital keep Buy or Outperform ratings and frame their lower targets as a recalibration rather than a loss of confidence in EVgo as a listed charging platform.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
-
Morgan Stanley cuts its target from US$3.50 to US$2.50 and holds an Equal Weight rating, which points to a more balanced view on EVgo's risk and reward at current levels.
-
Roth Capital flags concern that EVgo is getting what it describes as "limited returns on its OpEx spend" and calls for restructuring aimed at immediate profitability, which brings execution and cost discipline into sharper focus.
-
JPMorgan moves EVgo to Underweight as part of a broader clean energy review and highlights sector uncertainties, which can weigh on how investors frame risk around the stock even without a published target.
