RE: Citi Bank reaffirmed U.K.-based electrolyzer producer ITM Power as a “buy”13 Feb 2021 21:30
“Over the past year, we have also witnessed the globalisation of net zero policies: nearly half the world has already adopted climate neutrality goals, and the early signs from the US are encouraging,” Goldman said in a research note published Feb. 8.
“As a result, we estimate a c.200% upgrade in green energy infrastructure spending vs. the current annual run rate for the European Green Energy Majors (GEMS), assuming constant market shares.”
GEMS are companies with at least 65% of earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from renewables and power distribution grids, Goldman said. They are also recognized for investing a high proportion of their EBITDA to grow green infrastructure assets.
Goldman recognized 10 companies in the GEMS group: Orsted, EDPR, EDP, Solaria, Enel, Iberdrola, RWE, SSE, Acciona and Endesa. The bank said this group may deliver over 9% earnings per share compound annual growth rate.
Analysts at Goldman have previously described green hydrogen as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity,” with an addressable market potentially worth up to 10 trillion euros ($12.1 trillion) by 2050.
