KeyBanc Downgrades EnerNOC (ENOC) to Hold; Difficult Near-Term Operating Environment

KeyBanc downgraded EnerNOC (NASDAQ: ENOC) from Buy to Hold.

KeyBanc analyst says, "We remain optimistic about the Company's growth outlook in 2013 and 2014, but recommend investors wait on the sidelines given the difficult near-term business conditions and management's lack of visibility...We are significantly cutting our estimates to reflect the difficult near-term operating environment and the dilutive acquisition of Energy Response ($0.20-$0.25 in 2H11 and we estimate $0.10-$0.20 dilutive in 2012). Our estimates for 2013 are below management's guidance as we see significant risk to the implied net income contribution rate (37%)."

"We would look to become more constructive on shares at a lower valuation and/or in anticipation of: 1) a positive verdict from the FERC (Nov 7); 2) improved competitive pricing; and 3) non-PJM markets aggressively endorsing demand response."
