Jefferies Upgrades Sunrun to Hold, Stock Rise 2%

Sunrun (NASDAQ:RUN) shares rose more than 2% intra-day today after Jefferies upgraded the stock from Underperform to Hold and more than doubled its price target to $11, acknowledging a shift in the policy landscape that significantly improves the company’s near-term outlook.

The recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) marks a pivotal moment for residential solar firms like Sunrun. The finalized IRA provisions now offer a clearer and more favorable runway, especially for third-party ownership models—the core of Sunrun’s business. Jefferies had previously flagged concerns around policy uncertainty, but now sees this legislation as a turning point that restores visibility and boosts investor confidence.

While the broader residential solar sector remains challenged—Jefferies still expects a potential double-digit market decline by 2026—Sunrun is viewed as the best-positioned name within the space. With competitors pulling back, Sunrun is poised to gain share, supported by its stronger balance sheet and wider distribution reach.

Despite ongoing risks, including uncertainties tied to the recent executive order and safe harbor rules, Jefferies sees Sunrun as a standout in a troubled sector. The upgrade reflects a recognition that while the industry faces headwinds, Sunrun is emerging as a relative winner in the reshaped policy environment.
