Action:Reiterated
Date:09/28/26
The score is primarily constrained by financial performance, especially volatile and recently negative free cash flow and uneven profitability, despite a strengthening balance sheet. Technicals are broadly neutral with only modest positive momentum, and valuation appears somewhat expensive for the sector with only moderate dividend support.
Positive Factors
Strengthened balance sheet
Debt below equity indicates a more resilient capital structure and greater capacity to absorb operating volatility. The materially stronger equity base also improves financial flexibility, supporting continued investment and reducing dependence on leverage as the company manages its utility operations.
Negative Factors
Recently negative free cash flow
Negative free cash flow reduces the cash available after investment requirements and can constrain funding flexibility over the medium term. The reversal from positive free cash flow in 2024 to negative results in 2025–2026 also raises the risk that growth or maintenance spending will require additional funding.
