Black Hills shares are sliding as investors worry about the stability of its pending all-stock merger, after its partner NorthWestern Energy posted weak first-quarter results that shook confidence in the deal. The pullback is adding to existing negative sentiment around the company.
Analysts have recently warned about capital strain and ongoing negative free cash flow, which is amplifying the downside pressure. The stock is also flashing technical sell signals and looks expensive, with its price-to-earnings ratio near historical highs ahead of its own earnings report on May 6.
