Barclays names top picks for European utilities, with focus on US exposure
** Barclays remains positive on European utilities .SX6P which have rallied 12% so far in H2 2024, and adjusts its top picks to factor in "underappreciated" U.S. exposure
** It says the market is unjustly ignoring European utilities' large presence in the U.S., where data centres and AI drive sustained power demand growth
** Its top names for U.S. exposure are National Grid NG.L and Veolia VIE.PA from regulated utilities and RWE RWEG.DE from renewables
** Integrated utilities is its most preferred sub-sector, with Enel ENEI.MI, EDP EDP.LS and SSE SSE.L as the top names
** Regulated utilities comes second, with E.ON EONGn.DE, Redeia REDE.MC and Elia ELI.BR also among top picks, set to benefit from future growth capex and rising returns
** For renewables, the least preferred sub-sector, Barclays sees limited growth opportunities due to grid connection bottlenecks and increasing congestion costs
** It raises Spain's Naturgy NTGY.MC to "equal weight" from "underweight", noting its high sensitivity to increases in combined-cycle gas turbines' (CCGT) load factor
** It cuts Acciona ANA.MC to "underweight" from "equal weight" following a YTD rally, and to lessen the broker's exposure to the cyclical activities in the construction business
