Separately, Emera Incorporated (NYSE:EMA) had a setback on January 12 when BofA downgraded the stock from ‘Buy’ to ‘Neutral’, while also reducing its price target from C$74 to C$69. The downgrade comes despite Emera recently unveiling a 5-year capital plan of $20 billion and reaffirming its earnings guidance, which the analyst acknowledges improves its near-term visibility. However, BofA cited valuation concerns for the decision, believing that the stock’s current premium already prices in the positive outlook.

Moreover, while BofA continues to favor Emera Incorporated (NYSE:EMA)’s operations in Florida, it remains concerned about the less attractive economic and regulatory backdrop in Nova Scotia, which the firm believes introduces uncertainty that could temper consolidated growth.
