In a new report, Avondale Partners analyst Michael Morosi took a look at some of the market-moving headlines among YieldCos this week. According to Morosi, earnings will likely continue to be the market’s top concern.
“YieldCo’s have delivered generally in-line reports with constructive outlooks, reflecting the positive impact from the ITC/PTC extension, though the key uncertainty remains regarding access to equity markets,” he explained.
