Jefferies upgrades Southern Company as it sees long-term earnings boost
-- Jefferies upgraded Southern Company (NYSE:SO) to Buy from Hold, citing stronger-than-expected long-term earnings growth potential driven by upcoming project wins and reduced regulatory risk. The brokerage sees Southern poised to secure over 70% of Georgia Power's 8.5-gigawatt renewable request-for-proposal (RFP), translating into about $12.9 billion of additional capital expenditure through 2029. That would lift the utility's earnings per share growth to 7.2% through 2029, and up to 7.9% through 2035, above the current Street estimate of 6.6%. Jefferies said the company's ability to avoid a rate case in Georgia for three years removes a key overhang and adds clarity to Southern's financial trajectory. Combined with a rate base growth forecast of nearly 9% through the end of the decade, well above peers averaging 6-7%, Southern stands out as one of the best-positioned names in the sector. The firm expects Southern's next phase of growth to kick in from 2027, helped by earnings from new construction, tax credits, and returns on previous investments. Jefferies said while near-term guidance may remain unchanged, investors could see fundamental earnings reset as the company transitions to this higher-growth period. Southern currently trades at 18.1 times 2027 earnings, a 15% premium to peers, which Jefferies sees as justified given its scale, liquidity, and growth profile. The firm maintained a positive view despite potential short-term uncertainty around updates expected in July. Jefferies added that further upside may come from new RFPs between 2032 and 2035 tied to coal retirements, supporting sustained investment and rate base growth into the next decade.

Jefferies downgrades Chewy on valuation concerns, sees limited upside
-- Jefferies downgraded Chewy Inc (NYSE:CHWY) to 'Hold' from 'Buy' citing stretched valuation after a 41% rally in the stock this year and limited room for near-term earnings upside. Chewy shares are now trading at 24 times its 2026 EBITDA forecast, about eight turns above where they were in March and one standard deviation above historical averages , a level that implies strong Q1 results and guidance raises, which Jefferies thinks are unlikely. 'The pet macro looks relatively stable, and Chewy is executing well,' analysts wrote, but added that most of the positives appear priced in. Those positives include improved alternative data signals, such as rising web traffic and app usage, as well as stronger revenue from sponsored ads. Chewy is expected to benefit from supply chain efficiencies and increased advertising from pet product manufacturers. App data from SensorTower showed a 7.6% year-over-year increase in users and a 24% rise in downloads. Web traffic is also trending up, according to SimilarWeb (NYSE:SMWB). Still, Jefferies pointed to a lack of macro catalysts, such as growth in new pet-owning households, and said recent U.S. consumer data suggests only modest increases in pet spending, potentially limiting upside in the near term. The firm expects Chewy to reiterate or slightly raise the low end of its full-year guidance, but sees little justification for raising estimates beyond that. Jefferies slightly lifted its 2025 revenue forecast to $12.44 billion and EBITDA to $700 million, near the top of management's guide. The price target was cut to $43 from $45, based on 20 times estimated 2027 EBITDA.
