UBS upgrades Drax from "sell" to "hold" and raises 2026 EPS forecast

UBS raises its adjusted 2026 earnings per share forecast for Drax to 83.90 pence and upgrades the stock from "sell" to "hold" due to already priced-in short-term disappointments. The bank sets a 12-month price target of 745 pence but cuts its 2027 estimate because of higher biomass costs and expects delays to the remaining share buyback until early 2027. UBS views the takeover of Bluefield Solar and investments in battery storage as offsets to declining biomass returns, but warns that capital allocation, cost inflation and buyback delays are downside risks. Potential upside factors include government intervention to preserve non-gas capacity, stronger power contracts in 2027/28 and initial data centre projects. » More on de.investing.com
