Key Risks
The company’s business depends in part on the U.S. federal, state as well as local government policies.

The company has been operating in the competitive market and future competition could impact the terms of its investments.

Stock Recommendation
Notably, growth in NII led to robust performance in Q1 FY 2022 and places HASI well for the year. Considering its gain on the sale revenue, in addition to NII, HASI has demonstrated that its dual-revenue business model has been working well despite challenges.
The stock has been valued using Price/EPS multiple based relative valuation (on an illustrative basis) and the target price so arrived reflects a potential rise of low double-digit (in % terms). A slight premium has been applied to Price/EPS Multiple (NTM) (Peer Average) (approx) considering decent outlook as well as affirmation of its guidance.
Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic issues and geopolitical tensions prevailing. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.
Considering the aforementioned factors and the decent outlook, we give a “Buy” rating on the stock at the current market price of US$39.27, as on 10.26 am New York Time, USA (GMT-4) as of 07 June 2022.
