Maintaining his Hold rating, Harrison lowered his price target on Plug Power Inc. by 20% following a post-quarterly-report review of the names in his Renewable and Alternative Energy portfolio.
Q1 was "a rollercoaster" for the names he covers, the analyst said.
Prints delivered widely varying results from "high profile beats, to misses, unexpected capital markets activity, and domestic content guidance,*" Harrison explained.
Broadly speaking, the analyst told his readers that he "views domestic content guidance positively for the industry."
Harrison singled out Plug Power's peer, First Solar, as a major domestic content guidance benefactor, noting, however, that other companies may also benefit from it.
* From here: "The IRS on May 12, 2023, released Notice 2023-38, providing much-awaited guidance on how taxpayers can meet the domestic content requirement and increase their investment or production tax credit amount (ITC or PTC) under sections 45, 45Y, 48, and 48E.
"To this end, the notice also provides a safe harbor regarding the classification of certain components in representative types of qualified facilities, energy projects, or energy storage technologies. The notice provides favorable treatment for projects containing used property.
"Read a May 2023 report prepared by KPMG LLP that discusses the domestic content bonus credit guidance under Notice 2023-38."
