Soleil Securities is reiterating its Buy rating on shares of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) and is raising its price target from $48 to $56.

The firm notes that the price target increase reflects the unexpectedly strong results from the capacity auction announced on 5/13, which suggests that the market maybe entering an extended period of strongly rising power prices. This would drive up margins and earnings substantially higher for the company.

As a result of the new data the firm believes that FE will see EPS of at least $4 in 2014 and $3.40 in 2013.
