The likely EPS beat is driven largely by the previously-flagged Energy Trading timing reversal (a known, non-recurring shaping dynamic) rather than core segment strength, and full-year 2026 EPS guidance is expected to be reaffirmed at $7.59-$7.73 rather than raised, limiting the read-through to out-year estimates. With the Google MPSC decision not due until ~Sept 10 and no new hyperscale deal confirmed on this call, there's little fresh positive catalyst to sustain a rally; meanwhile the newly filed $474M electric rate case (seeking 10.25% ROE) carries historical precedent of being settled well below the initial ask, and mixed sell-side stances (BMO trimmed PT, TD Cowen Hold) suggest analysts will likely trim near-term numbers even as they nudge long-term targets, causing an initial pop to partially fade over the week. |
