Sunrun Inc. [RUN] recently disclosed that Chief Legal & People Officer Steele Jeananna has sold 17,417 shares at a price of $16.25 per share on August 18, 2023.
Sunrun Inc. (RUN) shares experienced a notable gap up in trading on Monday, August 18, 2023, opening at $14.77 and trading at $15.01 by the end of the day, with a volume of over 12.8 million shares. This movement follows a series of upgrades from major financial institutions and positive policy developments that have boosted the company's growth prospects.
Several analysts have recently upgraded Sunrun's stock, including BNP Paribas Exane, KeyCorp, and Wall Street Zen, among others. These upgrades come on the heels of significant policy shifts that are expected to drive demand for Sunrun's solar energy systems. RBC Capital's Christopher Dendrinos upgraded Sunrun to "Outperform" with a $16 price target, citing clearer long-term growth visibility and cash generation prospects [2].
The recent U.S. Treasury guidance has eased regulatory uncertainty, particularly regarding the "commence construction" rules. This clarity has positioned Sunrun to gain market share, as policy shifts favor its third-party ownership (TPO) model. Dendrinos expects TPO adoption to rise, allowing Sunrun to expand partnerships and grow market share. He forecasts customer additions of roughly 139,000 in 2026, up 20% year-over-year [2].
Sunrun's financial performance has also shown signs of improvement. The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.07 for the quarter, exceeding the consensus estimate by $1.25. Revenue for the quarter was $569.34 million, up 8.7% compared to the same period last year. Sunrun's strong cash generation is projected to increase from $308 million in 2025 to $550 million in 2026, implying a 15% cash generation yield relative to the $16 price target [2].
In related news, Chief Legal & People Officer Jeanna Steele sold 17,417 shares of Sunrun at a price of $16.25 per share on August 18, 2023. This sale represents a 0.83% decrease in her position, with Steele owning approximately 439,620 shares valued at around $4,747,896 following the transaction [1].
Sunrun's stock performance and analyst upgrades reflect a positive outlook for the company's future growth prospects. The policy shifts and financial performance indicate that Sunrun is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for solar energy systems.
