Key Issues

Bullish view

Data-center demand rose 55%, while customer growth and higher electricity usage helped Southern exceed its second-quarter adjusted earnings estimate. Management also expects full-year earnings near the top of guidance.

Bearish view

Second-quarter revenue still missed expectations, so stronger data-center demand may not yet be translating into sufficient company-wide growth. The evidence does not establish how durable or profitable the demand increase will be.
