Jefferies cuts EDPR to 'hold', reiterates 'buy' for EDP
** Jefferies downgrades Portugal's wind energy producer EDP Renovaveis EDPR.LS to "hold" from "buy" as current valuations limit its potential upside
** The brokerage believes that current holding discount (c.27%) to EDPR's market value is excessive and remains cautious because of expected decline in its portfolio average selling prices for next few years
** On the other hand, Jefferies reiterates "buy" rating for EDP as the co's robust and diversified portfolio of assets is in a strong position to capture future growth
** "EDP stands out to us with its superior cash flow generation and efficient capital allocation vs EDPR", the broker says
** The broker prefers to gain exposure to renewable through parent company (EDP) EDP.LS, rather than via EDPR, given significant implied discount value at EDP
** Jefferies believes holding discount should narrow as hydro assets are the best complementary technology for renewables, which are essential for capturing future growth
