Atmos Energy (NYSE:ATO), a utilities stock with a history of
consistent dividend payouts and growth, continues to garner the attention of investors. The company has reported
record Q1 profits leading to a considerable hike in dividends.
Citi elevated its stock target to $148 after strong Q1 earnings, which resulted in the stock's value soaring to an all-time high. Additionally, the company has also displayed
enhanced relative price performance, although it has not hit a key threshold yet. It seems that
Wall Street Analysts mostly lean towards a Moderate Buy rating on Atmos' stock. Admittedly, the company does have some level of debt, but its fundamentals remain strong, hinting at a possible future market correction in share price. This substantiates the argument for Atmos to be a reliable stock for early retirement portfolios. Major firm,
BlackRock Inc. decided to cut its stake in Atmos Energy, highlighting a complex investment environment. Amid political pressure, however, Atmos Energy remains a strong buy. Notably, the corporation also appointed a securities litigation expert as its top legal role in a recent general counsel succession plan.
