The shares have re-rated and now trade at a premium to most utility peers, notes the firm, which sees pending updates, including specifically an update on generation capital, helping to support the stock at current levels. Southern’s regulatory, balance sheet and construction risks are now “meaningfully reduced,” the analyst added.
