Nextpower NASDAQ: NXT used its 2026 annual shareholder meeting to highlight its expansion beyond solar tracking, reporting record revenue, a backlog exceeding $5.5 billion excluding energy storage, and continued investment in a broader clean-energy technology platform.
Deutsche Bank has raised its target price on Next PLC (LSE:NXT) to 16,000p from 14,000p following the clothing retailer's second-quarter trading update, while keeping a hold recommendation on the stock. Analyst Adam Cochrane said the shares, which closed at 15,715p on Thursday, now offer only around 2% upside.
Nextpower leverages its dominant tracker franchise to expand into higher-margin, non-tracker products, driving platform-based growth beyond core solar industry trends. NXT's premium valuation is justified by strong cash generation, no debt, and leadership in the U.S. tracker market, but future upside relies on earnings growth, not multiple expansion. The recent pullback offers a compelling entry point, with nearly 29% upside to an estimated intrinsic value of $116 per share and a Buy rating supported by robust execution and strategic acquisitions.
NextPower remains a HOLD due to heavy reliance on subsidies and significant SBC distorting true profitability, despite strong revenue growth and a robust backlog. NXT's headline earnings are materially inflated by $100M+ in subsidies and $100M+ in annual SBC, reducing true EPS and raising effective P/E multiples. Growth is decelerating sharply, with revenue growth projected to fall below 5% by 2026 and limited organic expansion outside the U.S. due to subsidy dependence.
Investors need to pay close attention to NXT stock based on the movements in the options market lately.
Nextpower (NXT) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.2 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.04 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.16 per share a year ago.
