Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Earnings GrowthYear over year earnings growth was primarily attributable to rate relief in Montana and South Dakota, higher electric transmission revenues, and an income tax benefit.
Financial PerformanceThe company reaffirmed long-term EPS guidance of 4%-6% off a 2022 base and 4%-6% rate base growth, as the current capital plan does not require equity issuance.
Growth OpportunitiesPotential upside from owned generation opportunities from the upcoming 2025/2026 IRP/RFP processes, potential commercial and industrial customer growth, and FERC transmission opportunities.
Bears Say
Earnings GuidanceIt is unlikely that the company releases EPS guidance until the Montana rate case is finalized, potentially delaying 2025 guidance.
Market ValuationShares of NWE trade at a discount to the broader utility group, reflecting ongoing challenges with regulatory outcomes and wildfire risk.
Regulatory ChallengesNWE is unlikely to be granted interim rates in their ongoing rate case, impacting EPS estimates negatively.
