On February 26, Eddie Kim from Barclays lifted the price target on Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. (NYSE:AESI) to $8 from $7 and reiterated an Underweight rating. In a research note, the analyst said that the company’s shares sold off due to a combination of three factors, including no fresh power announcements, ongoing headwinds in the proppant division, and uncertainty surrounding volumes in the latter half of this year. The firm further added that it believes the first quarter will be the weakest period of the year.
A day earlier, Stifel also raised the price target on Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. (NYSE:AESI) to $14, up from $13, and maintained a Buy rating. The company delivered Q4 2025 EBITDA that surpassed the firm’s forecast by an impressive 38% and the consensus estimate by 30%.
According to Stifel, the results, commentary, and guidance matched the projections when factoring in the negative Q1 2026 weather impact. Stifel attributes the price weakness to the absence of a previously anticipated Power contract, adding that they view the company’s growth and expanded deployment estimates as the main growth catalyst for this year and the next.
