Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Capital Plan And Growth GuidanceA refreshed $60 billion capital plan for 2026–2030 and management's projection of roughly 9% EPS growth through 2030 indicate sizable rate-base expansion and potential earnings upside.
Regulatory OutcomeA favorable NSP-Wisconsin rate decision granting an allowed return near 9.8% and approving most of the requested increase supports revenue stability and improves cash-flow visibility.
Renewables And Transmission GrowthA footprint rich in renewables and a leading role in transmission projects across MISO and SPP positions the company to capture low-cost decarbonization investments and long-term rate-base growth.
Bears Say
Cost And Financing PressuresHigher interest expense, increased depreciation and property taxes, and potential equity dilution could offset rate increases and pressure operating earnings growth.
Legal And Settlement ChargeA roughly $290 million charge tied to the Marshall Wildfire settlement will be deducted from operating earnings and could weigh on near-term profitability.
Regulatory DisallowancesRegulatory disallowances related to capital investments, return adjustments, and decommissioning accruals reduce recoverable costs and can erode rate-base growth.
