According to the analyst, the company’s first-quarter results provided greater clarity on its “materially increased” distributed power growth plans.

The firm also pointed to Atlas Energy’s agreement with Caterpillar for 1.4 gigawatts of power capacity. Raymond James argued that the deal places the company ahead of many peers pursuing the same growth opportunity, with deliveries expected earlier than those of competitors.
