Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (JEF) Analyst/Investor Day Transcript

Pennon Group PLC (LSE:PNN, OTC:PEGRY) shares fell as much as 20.4% to around 360p after the water utility launched a £550 million rights issue and cut its dividend, with Jefferies describing the measures as a significant balance sheet reset. Jefferies retained its 'hold' rating and 500p price target, saying the package strengthens Pennon's finances and provides funding for accelerated investment but comes at the cost of a sizeable equity raise and another dividend reduction.

This biotech stock could soar 30% or more over the next 12 months if some analysts are right.
