Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Energy Generation MixThe generation mix includes 50% low-cost hydro and 10% renewables, creating a favorable backdrop.
Growth OpportunitiesLarge load customer opportunities are being evaluated, with increasing interest from data centers in the region.
Regulatory ApprovalThe Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved a higher return on equity of 9.8%, which is an increase from the previously authorized 9.4%.
Bears Say
Financial PerformanceAvista continues to offer below-average earnings per share and dividend per share growth, with success now depending on management’s ability to close the gap between newly authorized 9.8% ROE and earned ROE.
Regulatory ChallengesThe Energy Recovery Mechanism did not receive support for changes, which may limit Avista's ability to adjust electric rates in response to changes in power supply costs.
Valuation ConcernsValuing shares at a -15% discount indicates a perceived lack of value given the modest growth expectations.
