Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Energy GenerationThe generation mix includes 50% low-cost hydro and 10% renewables, creating a favorable backdrop.
Growth OpportunitiesThe potential for large load customer opportunities, particularly from data centers, presents a favorable growth opportunity.
Regulatory ApprovalThe Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved a higher return on equity for Avista, increasing from 9.4% to 9.8%.
Bears Say
Earnings GrowthAvista continues to offer below-average earnings per share and dividend per share growth, with success relying on management's ability to close the gap between authorized and earned ROE.
Power Supply CostsThe Energy Recovery Mechanism remains unchanged, which may limit Avista's ability to adjust electric rates in response to power supply cost changes.
Valuation ConcernsValuing shares at a -15% discount indicates a perceived lack of value given the modest growth expectations.
