Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Earnings GrowthFollowing the constructive WA rate case outcomes, FY25/FY26/FY27 EPS estimates are adjusted ~5% higher to growth of 4%-6% off a ‘25 base.
Market OpportunitiesLarge load customer opportunities are being evaluated, with increasing interest from data centers in the region.
Regulatory SupportThe Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved a higher return on equity of 9.8%, which is an increase from the previously authorized 9.4%.
Bears Say
Balance Sheet ConcernsThe current state of the balance sheet keeps us cautious when considering any earnings uplift from incremental capex.
Regulatory EnvironmentAVA’s less constructive regulatory environments, power supply cost volatility, weaker balance sheet, and O&M management, will remain challenges to execution.
Stock 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.
