FirstEnergy (NYSE:FE), PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL), Allegheny Energy (NYSE:AYE) Pressured by Dark Spread Compression
Citing challenges from dark spread compression in 2011, FBR Capital sees FirstEnergy (NYSE:FE), PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL) and Allegheny Energy (NYSE:AYE) possibly being under pressure next year.
FBR said, "As we look to 2011, we believe the multiyear relative outperformance streak for regulated names could come to an end due to the impact of rising interest rates, and we continue to favor growth-oriented low “duration” names such as PG&E (NYSE:PCG)(Outperform/Top Pick) and SCANA (NYSE:SCG)(Outperform). For integrated names, the worst of the stock price adjustment could be behind us, as they are imputing roughly $4.45/MMBtu natural gas and offer attractive dividend yields compared to regulated utilities. Expectations for power market recovery will likely improve in 2011, driven by EPA regulations, more coal retirements, a promising capacity auction in PJM, and an improved natural gas outlook. Within our integrated coverage universe, we prefer Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR)(Outperform). While it is minimally exposed to power market tightening via coal retirements, it appears oversold, has a secure dividend in our opinion, and could catch a bid from any natural gas price appreciation."
Integrated Utilities Opinion
"Healing process has begun for integrated utilities. The worst of the natural gas and power price adjustments is now likely behind us. However, based on the outlook from our coal and gas teams, dark spread compression could still remain a theme in 2011, pressuring coal-heavy names such as FirstEnergy Corp. (Market Perform) and PPL Corporation (Market Perform). Also in the group is Allegheny Energy, Inc. (Not Rated) (pro forma). However, the rationalization in coal generation has begun, driven by forthcoming Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and dwindling Eastern coal supply. In addition, power prices seem to be ticking up at PJM Interconnection (PJM), perhaps indicating that the higher cost of coal burn is being reflected in power markets. We see no indication in the 2013 PJM forwards that widespread plant retirements are being anticipated."
FirstEnergy was trading at $36.37, up $0.09, or 0.25 percent, as of 12:21 PM EST. PPL Corporation was trading at $26.01, down $0.02, or 0.08 percent. Allegheny Energy was trading at $ 23.75, up $0.08, or 0.34 percent.

Upside for FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE), PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL) Says FBR
Commenting on energy policy and the impact on coal and coal retirements, FBR Capital says they see upside for FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE) and PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL).
FBR said, "A forthcoming round of EPA regulations targeting unscrubbed coal plants could affect approximately 100 GW of operating capacity and could lead to an acceleration in coal retirements and further investment in environmental control equipment. Based on our discussions with utilities and environmental regulators, however, we believe that the most likely path to compliance is not a step-function change in coal capacity but a broad-based adaptation by the industry using all available means. In addition, political pushback, EPA bandwidth issues, legal challenges, and reliability concerns could slow the pace of coal retirements. We envision a base-case scenario in which 45 GW of coal capacity is retired (including 12 GW announced), varying widely between 30 GW and 70 GW, depending on the level of natural gas prices and the severity of proposed rules. Up to 60 GW of capacity could eventually be scrubbed. All-in industry costs could exceed $80 billion, 75%–80% of which will likely be borne by regulated utilities. The main beneficiaries that could see their earnings boosted are large coal-heavy regulated utilities. While power markets are likely to tighten gradually by 2014 under our current assumptions, we see plausible potential upside for FirstEnergy Corp. (Market Perform) and PPL Corporation (Market Perform), selling into PJM Interconnection (PJM) or The Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (MISO)."
First Energy was trading at $35.80, up $0.15, or 0.42 percent, as of 11:42 AM EST. PPL was trading at $25.42, up $0.17, or 0.67 percent.
