Southern Company: 11GW Of Contracted Large Load Demand Supports My Buy Rating

Summary I am rating Southern Company a buy because I believe large-load demand is changing its earnings profile. The growth is backed by physical infrastructure such as 10 GW of new state-regulated resources under construction, more than 500 miles of new transmission lines, and an $81 billion capital plan. My 2028 estimate for adjusted EPS is $5.25 and is supported by large-load demand, regulated infrastructure growth, DOE financing support, Southern Power capacity additions, and Southeast customer growth. My $105 price target represents a 15.5% upside potential. I compute by applying a 5-year average of FWD non-GAAP P/E multiple of 20.07x to my estimated adjusted EPS of $5.25. The main risks are slower data center load conversion and regulatory pushback. I still believe the risk-reward is attractive because the downside is supported by regulated earnings and dividends, while the upside is tied to one of the most important bottlenecks in AI: reliable power.

Southern Company: Strong 2024 Earnings Reinforce Confidence In The Investment

Summary High-quality utility The Southern Company released its fourth quarter and full year 2024 results yesterday. In this update, I'll take a fresh look at Southern's operating fundamentals, focusing on customer relationships, energy demand, and profitability. I will also provide an update on debt and leverage, largely because of long-term interest rates, which appear rather unfazed by the Federal Reserve's recent rate-cutting measures. I will also touch on recent regulatory changes that should bode well for Southern's longer-term future. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

SOJF: A 6.5% Investment Grade Baby Bond IPO From The Southern Company

Summary The Southern Company's new 6.50% Junior Subordinated Notes — SOJF — are investment-grade, with a maturity date of 2085 and callable from 2030.

Southern Company: Solid Commercial Data Center Load Trends, Technical Support (Rating Upgrade)

Summary I am upgrading shares of The Southern Company due to a modest undervaluation and improved technical situation. Despite rising interest rates and natural disaster risks, SO's solid earnings growth and high dividend yield make it an attractive investment. SO's Q3 results were strong, with EPS beating estimates and revenue growth driven by higher utility revenues and AI demand. Technical analysis shows SO at key support levels, indicating a potential buying opportunity ahead of its Q4 earnings report next month. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Southern Company: One Of The Best Utilities At A Lofty Price

Summary The Southern Company has shown remarkable resilience, with a 64% return over three years, driven by demand for energy and successful management of Hurricane Helene's impact. Despite challenges from inflation and rising interest rates, the company expects steady EPS growth of 5-7%, benefiting from economic activity in its operating areas. However, SO stock's current valuation at 23x earnings raises concerns, making it less appealing compared to other income-generating options in the sector. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Southern Company Could Be Dead Money For The Foreseeable Future

Summary Southern Company is financially solid but quite overvalued, making it a poor investment opportunity. The company's dividend yield is at multi-decade lows, which indicates that shares are historically expensive vs. the company's organic growth and profitability. We recommend selling SO, locking in recent gains, and looking for opportunities elsewhere. We rate SO a 'Sell'. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
