Power supplier The Southern Company SO delivered adjusted earnings per share of $1.32 in the first quarter of 2026, up 7.3% from $1.23 a year ago. The figure topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.21 by 9.1%. Quarterly revenue came in at $8.4 billion, an 8% increase from $7.8 billion in the year-ago period. Revenues also beat the consensus mark of $8.1 billion by 3.8%. Management credited the quarter’s upside to higher utility revenues, supported by customer growth and usage, as weather-normal retail electricity sales increased 2.3% year over year. Weather-normal retail electricity sales rose across all three customer classes, reflecting a mix of usage and customer additions. Residential volumes were supported by 46,000 new customers added since March 2025, consistent with continued net migration into the company’s service areas. Commercial electricity demand was a major growth driver, with power sales to businesses rising 4.5% from the year-ago period after adjusting for weather impacts. Data center usage expanded 42% year over year, driven by accelerating load ramps at large facilities. Industrial sales increased 1.5%, with particular strength cited in primary metals and pipeline-related activity. Southern Company (The) price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Southern Company (The) Quote The revenue beat reflected strength in multiple buckets. Retail electric revenue increased on the fuel side, while wholesale electric revenues rose year over year. Natural gas revenues advanced as well, adding another source of top-line momentum. Cost pressure remained visible across several line items. Total operating expenses rose year over year, including higher fuel and purchased power, a higher cost of natural gas, and higher depreciation and amortization. Interest expense also increased versus the prior-year quarter, consistent with management’s commentary that higher financing costs partly offset operating gains. Beyond near-term results, the quarter highlighted continued progress in large-load contracting. Southern discussed 23 gigawatts of projects either contracted or in late-stage development, with contracted large-load agreements exceeding 11 gigawatts across its electric subsidiaries. In recent months, the company also signed contracts representing 1.9 gigawatts of additional customer load with hyperscalers. This rising demand is shaping the company’s future p...

Dominion Energy, Inc. D posted first-quarter 2026 operating earnings of 95 cents per share, up 2.2% year over year and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 89 cents by 6.7%. Results benefited from favorable weather and renewable natural gas (“RNG”) tax credit income. Dominion Energy gained from the continued load momentum tied to data centers, a key demand lever in its regulated footprint. Dominion Energy reported GAAP earnings of 69 cents per share for the quarter, below the prior-year level of 77 cents. The company’s preferred performance yardstick remains operating earnings, which exclude several items that can swing reported results from period to period. The difference between GAAP and operating earnings was due to the impact of net market losses tied largely to the nuclear decommissioning trust fund and the impact from economic hedging activity. The quarter also reflected an item related to costs on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (“CVOW”) project not expected to be recovered from customers, as well as charges tied to the impairment of certain nonregulated solar generation facilities. The quarter’s operating revenues rose 23.2% from the year-ago period to $5.02 billion and beat the consensus mark of $4.28 billion by 17.3%. Dominion Energy Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Dominion Energy Inc. Quote Dominion Energy Virginia delivered the largest contribution to consolidated operating earnings in the quarter, supported by constructive regulatory items and weather effects. The utility also benefited from continued customer growth and commercial demand strength, which management ties closely to data center expansion in its service territory. Other segments were more mixed. Dominion Energy South Carolina’s operating contribution declined from the prior-year period, while Contracted Energy improved modestly. Corporate and Other remained a drag, reflecting higher net interest expenses and other corporate-level items during the quarter. Operating expenses increased meaningfully year over year, with higher electric fuel and other energy-related purchases representing a major driver. Depreciation and amortization also rose, reflecting the expanding regulated investment base and ongoing project activity. Financing costs were another key pressure point. Interest and related charges climbed from the year-ago quarter, underscoring the higher-rate envi...

IDACORP reported Q1 diluted EPS of $1.21 (up from $1.10) and reaffirmed full‑year 2026 guidance of $6.25–$6.45 per share, assuming normal weather/power costs and less than $30 million of additional tax‑credit amortization under Idaho’s Earnings Support Mechanism. Customer counts rose 2.3% year‑over‑year (residential +2.4%) and industrial energy sales increased 5.7%, driven by ramping load from large customers like Micron and Meta and an “incredible” pipeline of large‑load projects stretching into the 2030s with contracts structured so “growth pays for growth.” The company is executing major transmission and resource additions — multiple lines expected by 2028, a 167 MW gas plant (in‑service summer 2028) plus additional gas projects in 2029–2030, 250 MW of battery storage and 125 MW of solar — with 2026 capex of $1.3–$1.5 billion and targeted financing needs of about $2 billion equity and $2.9 billion debt.

IDACORP, Inc. IDA has reported first-quarter 2026 earnings of $1.21 per share, which topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.12 by 8%. The company’s earnings improved 10% from $1.10 in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year improvement was due to customer growth and rate changes. Total revenues in the first quarter of 2026 were $403.4 million, lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $460 million by 12.3%. The metric also declined 6.7% from $432.5 million in the year-ago quarter. IDACORP, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | IDACORP, Inc. Quote IDACORP’s customer volume increased 2.3% year over year for the 12 months ended on March 31, 2026. This boosted operating income by $5 million from the year-ago level. Other operations and maintenance expenses were $13.1 million, higher than the year-earlier level. This was mainly driven by increased wildfire mitigation program expenses and the amortization of previously deferred costs related to the conversion of generating units at the Jim Bridger power plant from coal to natural gas. IDACORP's net income increased $8.4 million from the prior-year level due to higher net income at Idaho Power. As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $337.8 million compared with $215.7 million as of Dec. 31, 2025. The long-term debt was $3.68 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared with $3.33 billion as of Dec. 31, 2025. In the first three months of 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $75.8 million compared with $124.3 million in the prior-year period.

Performance was driven by a 2.3% increase in total customers and a 5.7% rise in industrial energy sales, specifically from the ramp-up of large-scale projects like Micron and Meta. Management is utilizing a 'growth-pays-for-growth' regulatory model in Idaho to protect existing customers from cost shifting while funding significant infrastructure expansion. The company is successfully offsetting higher depreciation, interest, and wildfire mitigation expenses through new large-load contract revenues and the Idaho earnings support mechanism. Strategic contracting for industrial projects now includes take-or-pay provisions, upfront payments, and customized pricing to mitigate financial risks for shareholders. Operational focus remains on maintaining affordability, with rates currently 20% to 30% below the national average despite ongoing capital-intensive projects. The transition from coal to natural gas at the Valmy Unit 2 is on track to be completed before the summer peak to support system flexibility. Full-year 2026 earnings guidance of $6.25 to $6.45 assumes normal weather conditions and less than $30 million in additional tax credit amortization. The company expects to have three new major transmission lines in service by 2028, which will provide access to diverse markets and generate wheeling revenue. Management anticipates a significant update to the load growth forecast in Q4 2024, which is expected to show upside from the current 8.3% IRP growth rate. Future capital expenditure forecasts do not yet include potential wins from the 2026-2032 RFP, which aims to address a capacity deficit of at least 200 megawatts. The sale of the Oregon service area is progressing, with regulatory filings expected in the coming months to streamline the company's operational footprint. Hydropower generation guidance was trimmed at the top end to 5.5-7.0 million megawatt-hours due to low winter snowpack, despite recent record-wet April conditions. The Idaho Commission approved the 2026 wildfire mitigation plan, establishing a formal standard of care that provides regulatory clarity for future mitigation spending. New Idaho legislation has codified the large-load contract process and established a nine-month deadline for PUC approval, reducing regulatory timeline uncertainty. The company is unlikely to file a general rate case this year as new industrial revenues are expected...

BOISE, Idaho, April 30, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IDACORP, Inc. (NYSE: IDA) reported first quarter 2026 net income attributable to IDACORP of $68.0 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared with $59.6 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. "Strong first quarter results benefited from customer growth and rate changes," said IDACORP President and Chief Executive Officer Lisa Grow. "As expected, those benefits were partially offset by higher O&M expenses and recording fewer tax credits under the company’s Idaho regulatory mechanism." "We expect 2026 will be an exciting year of execution for us, with 250 MWs of batteries coming online and continued progress on our major transmission and generation projects. During this period of growth, we remain focused on reliability and affordability for our customers and providing increased value for our shareholders," Grow added. IDACORP is reaffirming its full-year 2026 earnings guidance in the range of $6.25 to $6.45 per diluted share with the expectation that Idaho Power will use less than $30 million of additional tax credits available under the Idaho regulatory mechanism in 2026. The earnings guidance assumes normal weather conditions and power supply expenses through the end of the year.

A net increase in retail revenues per MWh, net of power cost adjustment mechanisms, increased operating income by $18.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025. This benefit was due primarily to an overall increase in Idaho base rates, effective January 1, 2026, from the outcome of the settlement stipulation for Idaho Power's 2025 Idaho general rate case (2025 Settlement Stipulation). Customer growth increased operating inco...

While IdaCorp has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for IdaCorp was mixed.
