The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Dec. 11, edition that Raymond James analyst Michael Barth raised Enerflex to "strong buy" from "outperform," seeing it offering the best risk/reward proposition in his coverage universe. The Globe's David Leeder writes that Mr. Barth gave his share target a 50-cent boost to $25. Analysts on average target the shares at $22.45. Mr. Barth says in a note: "The business has finally turned the corner operationally, the balance sheet is in great shape, secular gas tailwinds behind the legacy business are strong and plenty of upside optionality exists that we believe investors get for free today. Secular tailwinds should accelerate into 2026. The growth in U.S. LNG export capacity and the increase in domestic consumption from the data centre thematic should both drive significant natural gas production growth through 2030, with a notable pick-up starting in 2026. That production growth should lead to healthy bookings in the ES segment while allowing Enerflex to accelerate organic growth in their U.S. contract compression fleet (the one we think investors want to see growth capital allocated to). In our view, risk is skewed to the upside on core consensus ES bookings in 2026."
