DRX: Share Price Strength Will Leave Little Protection If Projects Disappoint

Analysts have raised their price target for Drax Group by £0.06 to £9.50, citing a slightly higher fair value estimate along with updated assumptions for discount rate, revenue trends, profit margins and future P/E, while viewing the stock as fairly priced after recent share price strength. Analyst Commentary Recent street research reflects a more cautious tone around Drax Group, with some bearish analysts taking the view that the current share price already captures much of the near term upside.
