1. Ameresco Inc (NYSE:AMRC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 19

Ameresco Inc (NYSE:AMRC) is an energy solutions provider.

The stock is down significantly so far in 2025 as Ameresco reported disappointing fourth-quarter 2024 results, with full-year EBITDA and revenue guidance falling short of Wall Street expectations.

The company exceeded EPS and EBITDA estimates, but unexpected cost overruns on two large-scale legacy projects negatively impacted gross margins by $20 million.

Plus, UBS Group downgraded Ameresco from a “buy” to a “sell” rating and slashed its price target from $37.00 to $8.00. Other firms, including Robert W. Baird and Canaccord Genuity Group, also lowered their price targets significantly.

The consensus price target of $27.63 implies 124.1% upside.

AMRC stock is down 47.61% year-to-date.
