Deutsche Bank downgraded Calpine Corporation (NYSE: CPN) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $20.00 (from $25.00). Analyst Jonathan Arnold sees limited catalysts.
"We are downgrading to Hold as 2016 appears a larger headwind than we anticipated and arguing for a premium at this point seems misplaced. Mgmt has not taken bold action, as they view the stock-sell off as macro and transient and are instead adding leverage and buying assets to support L-T growth. While we do not expect any company to react to every market gyration, CPN has had opportunities over the past year to create value through M&A, cost cutting, debt reduction or perhaps even a dividend, and none has been forthcoming. While we still see ~30% upside to our revised $20 PT, relative value versus IPP peers seems less compelling," said Arnold.
