Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Financial PerformanceNorthWestern Energy Group delivered strong 1Q25 results, indicating successful regulatory outcomes, infrastructure investment, and load growth opportunities.
Growth OpportunitiesGrowth visibility is improving with letters of intent from Altus Power and Sabey, which could lead to contracts and require new resources, enhancing potential growth.
Regulatory EnvironmentThe regulatory environment in Montana is improving with multi-party settlements in rate cases, and legislative changes reducing wildfire-related liabilities, which de-risks the company.
Bears Say
Earnings And GrowthThe profile has below-average EPS and rate base growth, a noisy regulatory history coupled with an expectation of more frequent filings going forward.
Operational CostsGains were partially offset by higher operating costs, increased depreciation, milder weather, and increased interest expense.
Rate Base AdjustmentsThe Montana Consumer Counsel proposed adjustment disallows a portion of the Yellowstone Country Generation Station rate base due to costs exceeding the original budget.
