What the filing says
NorthWestern Energy reported Q2 2026 GAAP diluted EPS of $0.40 (vs. $0.35 in Q2 2025) and non-GAAP EPS of $0.50 (vs. $0.40). The company affirmed 2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance of $3.68–$3.83 per share and long-term 4–6% EPS/rate-base growth. The pending all-stock merger with Black Hills Corporation received regulatory approvals from FERC, Nebraska, and South Dakota; Montana approval is pending final order (hearing held May 2026). The company expects merger closing by year-end 2026. Capital plan of $3.2B over 2026–2030 supports rate base growth; data center development agreements signed with three parties for ~150 MW ramping to 1,500+ MW by 2030.
Why this rating
Merger is material (≈33% of market cap if successful) but regulatory approval now highly likely; operational/financial execution ordinary. Growth guidance and dividend stable; near-term closure risk modest.
