Bulls Say
Earnings PotentialThe recent announcement of a 50MW data center opportunity, which could grow to 250MW or more, is expected to provide an initial boost to earnings per share and create additional positive effects.
Rate AffordabilityThe data center opportunity has the potential to lower customer costs and improve rate affordability by spreading rate increases over a broader base of megawatts.
Valuation And Market PositionNWE is seen as one of the most affordable SMID-cap stocks in its peer group, trading at a discount and potentially undervalued, especially considering its de-risking initiatives.
Bears Say
Earnings ImpactThe interim order fell short of expectations, resulting in a net $62.2M electric rate decrease instead of the sought $13.8M increase.
Guidance DelayIt is unlikely that the company releases EPS guidance until the Montana rate case is finalized, potentially delaying 2025 guidance.
Regulatory ChallengesNWE has underperformed peers by approximately 46% over the last five years, largely due to a historically tough regulatory construct in Montana.
