John Mackay has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including Kodiak’s expanding power platform and solid underlying operations. He highlights that the new framework agreement with Baker Hughes materially increases Kodiak’s secured generation capacity toward management’s long-term goal, and he raises his deployment assumptions through 2030 as a result.

He also points to resilient performance in the core compression business, with expected gains from higher horsepower additions and improved pricing supporting EBITDA upside versus consensus. With initial contributions from the acquired DPS power assets and stronger estimates, he modestly lifts his price target from $88 to $89 and reiterates a constructive view on the stock’s risk‑reward profile.

KGS’s price has also changed dramatically for the past six months – from $36.490 to $69.860, which is a 91.45% increase.
