10:28 AM EDT, 08/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Emera's (EMA) price target has been increased to C$62 from $60 with an unchanged Sector Perform rating at National Bank of Canada, according to a note released over the weekend.

The bank cited the bump to its DCF valuation for the company while tapping down its DDM yield to reflect the strengthened balance sheet.

National Bank also mentioned Emera's (EMA) further valuation upside related to the PGS allowable ROE decision, and the company's updated five-year capital plan to be unveiled in third quarter.

Emera (EMA) reported adjusted earnings $0.79 per share in the second quarter, beating the bank's forecast of $0.65 and the Street estimate of $0.63 on favorable weather in Florida, strong performance at Emera Energy, and lower corporate costs. National Bank also noted the company reaffirmed its $20 billion capital plan, underpinning a near 7-8% rate base CAGR through 2029.

Emera (EMA) traded down 1% at last look Monday on the TSX.

Price: 66.18, Change: -0.73, Percent Change: -1.09

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
