Ormat Technologies (US6866881021) became the subject of a sharp JPMorgan target cut on October 19, 2026, from USD 131.00 to USD 98.00. According to MarketBeat, JPMorgan retained a neutral rating. The reduction puts valuation and earnings expectations ahead of the company's longer-term storage expansion story.
Quarterly growth sets the benchmark
Ormat's second-quarter results provide the operating counterweight. The company reported USD 258.76 million in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 10.60 percent from the prior-year period. Adjusted or GAAP classification was not specified in the cited report, so the figure is presented as reported revenue.
MarketBeat also reported earnings of USD 0.50 per share against a USD 0.26 consensus estimate for that quarter. Revenue exceeded the USD 240.03 million consensus estimate, while the company posted a 10.66 percent net margin.
What does the target cut change?
The analyst reset is substantial: JPMorgan's USD 98.00 target is USD 33.00 below its earlier USD 131.00 target. A separate UBS action on October 1, 2026, cut its rating from Buy to Neutral and lowered its target from USD 157.00 to USD 100.00, as Yahoo Finance reported.
