Deutsche Bank Trims Price Target on Sunrun (RUN)

The share price of Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) fell by 5.65% between December 31, 2025, and January 7, 2026, putting it among the Energy Stocks that Lost the Most This Week.

Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) is America’s leading provider of clean energy as a subscription service, offering residential solar and energy storage with no upfront costs.

On January 7, Deutsche Bank lowered its price target on Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) from $20 to $19, while maintaining a ‘Hold’ rating on the shares.

However, on a positive note, Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) announced on January 6 that it has formed a joint venture with HA Sustainable Infrastructure to finance distributed energy assets across the United States. Under the agreement, HASI will invest $500 million in the JV over an 18-month period, with the intention of financing 300 MW of solar and energy storage capacity. While HASI’s equity investment will monetize a part of long-term customer cash flows from the underlying assets, Sunrun will be able to retain a significant long-term ownership stake in the assets. Moreover, the JV will provide the solar energy company with greater flexibility in arranging senior project debt.

Danny Abajian, Chief Financial Officer of Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN), commented:

This innovative financing structure with HASI is a first-of-a-kind for residential storage and solar financing. We appreciate the collaboration with the HASI team and continued innovation to unlock additional value for both companies along with our customers across the country. This partnership provides for an efficient capital structure, which we anticipate will allow aggregate proceeds that are equal to or better than Sunrun’s traditional financing arrangements. This structure is consistent with our strategy to utilize various structures and a diverse set of capital providers to finance our growth.
