• Nextracker is the market leader in solar trackers and its solution “makes it simple for buyers to keep buying,” Dumoulin-Smith said in an initiation note.
• “The company is known for these value-added solutions which work to shave O&M cost and increase energy yield over the life of the asset, mirroring the buying parties long dated return profile,” the analyst wrote. “And in solar, a minute savings over many years matters a lot – we benchmark that just a 1% savings in O&M over the life of an asset can add 150bps to typical levered return, expanding it by ~15%."

KeyBanc

• “NXT is well positioned to capitalize on the projected growth in utility-scale solar deployment,” Karp said.
• “While we like NXT’s competitive positioning, long-term growth prospects, and margin expansion potential, we believe that after the post-launch outperformance, the shares are close to fairly valued, presenting a balanced risk-reward at this juncture,” she added.

Mizuho Securities

• “NXT stands to benefit from the global transition to renewable energy,” Crowdell wrote in his initiation note.
• “NXT's proprietary technology has a proven track record of improving the economics of utility-scale solar projects by lowering lifetime costs and improving energy output, giving NXT a ~30% global market share,” he added.

Roth Capital Partners

• “Following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, we see a "wall of demand" in the US, and we expect NXT to be a key beneficiary,” Shen said. The company should benefit from other tailwinds, like secular growth in utility-scale solar and “trackers rapidly surpassing fixed-tilt solutions.”
• “We believe the company is on sound financial footing, with strong liquidity, manageable debt, a capex-lite model, and an end market (utility-scale solar) that is poised for hyper-growth,” he added.
