Supporting filing ↗The strongest caution

Caution evidence ↗An interesting business is not necessarily an attractive investment at today's price. Price, dilution, financing terms and a valuation range still need investigation.
Inspect the evidence behind both sides ↗4. Three questions worth investigating
Use these to guide your research, not as conclusions that have already been proved.
How durable is data center demand?
Starting evidence: Demand associated with data center development is described as a significant contributor to projected load growth, so its durability may matter to future investment needs.
Investigate next: Review the terms and contracted capacity of data center electric service agreements, and whether customers bear costs if projected usage does not materialize.
Read the supporting filing ↗Will regulators approve cost recovery on time?
Starting evidence: Regulatory efforts focus on securing recovery of investments needed to maintain and strengthen electric and natural gas systems while continuing reliable service.
Investigate next: Track pending base rate applications, settlement terms and approved outcomes across jurisdictions against requested amounts.
Read the supporting filing ↗What could limit new generation buildout?
Starting evidence: The company may be constrained in procuring resources or labor at reasonable prices and in constructing projects on time.
Investigate next: Examine construction schedules, cost estimates versus approvals, and supply or labor constraints disclosed for the new generating units.
