Altus Power: A Bright Future Amid Looming Debt Challenges
Summary
- Altus Power represents an attractive investment opportunity due to expected revenue and EBITDA growth, strong partnerships with CBRE and Blackstone, and rising US electricity demand.
- Despite a 52.5% YTD market value loss, Altus Power's strategic positioning in commercial-scale solar offers higher ROI compared to utility-scale and residential-scale segments.
- Key risks include high debt levels, interest rate pressures, and dependency on CBRE and Blackstone, but these are already factored into the current price.
- A DCF analysis yields a target price 15% above the current market price, supporting a "buy" rating for Altus Power.
