Bulls Say
Earnings GrowthThe company is expected to grow earnings between 5-7% in the long-term, supported by a robust rate base growth of approximately 6% annually and positive electric sales growth trends.
Expansion And InvestmentWith the settlement to increase generating capacity, including three new gas turbines, and significant capital expenditure driven by datacenters, the company is poised for robust expansion and investment opportunities.
Regulatory EnvironmentThe company's minimal regulatory risk compared to industry peers and the potential for lower residential customer bills strengthens its position in the market.
Bears Say
Earnings GuidanceDespite the new growth projects, EPS growth guidance was unchanged, which likely led to the weakness in the stock.
Project DelayVogtle Unit 4 delayed to 2Q24 due to required remediation of vibrations in the cooling system, potentially increasing base capital costs significantly if further delays occur.
Project DevelopmentIn the stipulated agreement, the initial request of 1,000 MW of BESS was reduced to 500 MW to meet economic development customer loads.
