Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Operational EfficiencyYear-over-year earnings increase at Avista Utilities due to rate relief and customer growth, showing some positive operational developments.
Regulatory DevelopmentsThe Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved a higher return on equity of 9.8%, which is an increase from the previously authorized 9.4%.
Renewable EnergyThe generation mix is ~50% low-cost hydro and ~10% renewables, creating a favorable backdrop.
Bears Say
Earnings PerformanceEarnings per share for the first quarter fell short of analyst expectations, suggesting potential challenges in meeting financial targets.
Market ValuationValuing shares at -15% discount, consistent with Western smids, we do not see value given modest 5% EPS CAGR, and need to demonstrate execution of earned ROE step-up.
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.
