Analyst Ratings Synthesis

The supplied consensus is Buy across 16 analysts, with a mean price target of $92. Target highs and lows are unavailable, so the evidence cannot show where targets cluster or measure the spread. No named analyst or bank is identified as the most or least bullish, and no rating or target revisions are reported for the past week; revision direction is therefore unavailable. The substantive disagreement visible in the research is operational rather than target-specific: bullish commentary emphasizes the 24% earnings increase, infrastructure recovery, higher electric revenues, and lower power costs, while the revenue miss raises questions about the quality and durability of the beat.

Key Issues

Bullish view

Second-quarter earnings rose 24% and beat estimates, supported by higher electric revenues, infrastructure recovery, AFUDC, and lower depreciation or power costs.

Bearish view

Revenue missed estimates, and the earnings beat depended partly on recovery and cost factors; the supplied evidence does not establish that these benefits will persist.
