Wells Fargo analyst Shahriar Pourreza maintains Portland General Electric (NYSE:POR) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $58 to $56.
Here is why I am bullish on POR here at $44.42: A forward P/E of 11.2 and a 4.33% dividend yield offer valuation support with a low beta of 0.69.. Compare POR's 15.5% operating margin and 6.1% ROIC against the rest of Electric Utilities: Central. As long as cash conversion holds up, dips toward $42.20 are getting bought.
@RedlineAuditor Fair point on 12.0x trailing P/E, but you're ignoring the forward operating leverage in Electric Utilities: Central. If gross margin (0.0%) holds, EPS grows into the multiple faster than bears think.
Careful chasing POR at $44.42. Free cash flow is negative at -1.37% yield while debt rose from $820.8M to $4.66B and the Altman Z-Score is 0.94.. Gross margin is 0.0%, but operating margin is 15.5%, which shows SG&A and reinvestment are eating into bottom-line EPS. Target $38.20 on multiple compression.
