AI commentary
Market tone is cautiously constructive: the analyst 12‑month median (base_target = 134.41) sits modestly above the anchor (125.045), supporting a buy recommendation but indicating limited near-term upside to the base case [#SERP-1][#SERP-5]. Primary downside sensitivity remains regulatory outcomes and interest-rate/credit pressure; coverage emphasizes dividend stability and EPS guidance as the main supportive themes.

Material rate-case decisions or regulatory approvals (state PSC rulings) could shift allowed returns or recovery timing; timing is uncertain so end-of-window date is assumed for planning [#SERP-1].
