On April 7, Jefferies analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith trimmed the firm’s price target on Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) from $22 to $15, while maintaining a ‘Hold’ rating on the shares. However, the lowered target still indicates an upside potential of almost 13% from the current share price.

The analyst highlighted investor concerns regarding Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN)’s volumes and cash generation. While Jefferies remains constructive on the company’s disciplined approach amid the soaring market uncertainty, it does not project FY 2026 to be a growth year. However, the analyst firm expects Sunrun to continue generating cash beyond 2026, even in a slower-growth environment.

Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) is targeting to deliver high single- to low double-digits growth in its direct business in FY 2026. While the company expects the first quarter to be its low point, it is forecasting strong sequential growth through the year. Sunrun is projecting cash generation in the range of $250 million to $450 million for 2026, compared to $377 million generated last year.
