Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Capital Investment PlanA substantial multi-year capital plan focused on transmission and generation expansion should drive steady rate-base growth and create new earnings opportunities as projects are placed into service.
Contracted Load And Demand GrowthSignificant signed contracts and accelerating data-center and industrial demand offer visible load growth that reduces revenue uncertainty and supports future return improvement.
Management Guidance And ReturnsManagement's raised long-term growth targets and plan to lift regulated returns provide a clearer path to stronger earnings, supporting a premium valuation if execution holds.
Bears Say
Financing And Dilution RiskSustained equity issuance needed to fund the larger capital program could pressure the balance sheet and introduce dilution or higher financing costs if market conditions deteriorate.
Regulatory ExecutionSlow-developing regulatory relationships could delay approval and cost recovery for major projects, constraining the timetable for realizing the company’s growth premium.
ValuationElevated valuation relative to peers limits upside potential and has prompted some analysts to adopt a more cautious rating pending proof of execution.
