Broken: Primary pillar broken — Achieve 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of about $102.5 million: FY26 EBITDA guidance low $95.0M vs target $102.5M.
Opal Fuels aims to reach $102.5 million EBITDA in 2026. New RNG plants help grow revenue. The company raised its dividend rate to 12%.
Opal missed earnings recently and cut guidance. Capital moves show financial stress. Revenue growth is uncertain after the miss.
The price is about 36% below our fair value near $3. Analysts expect 16% revenue growth. Our view sees risk from recent earnings misses.
Breaks if: Adjusted EBITDA falls below $95 million in FY26
Target Adjusted EBITDA range of $95 million to $110 million for fiscal year 2026.
