MGE Energy: Buy This Dividend Champion While It's On Sale

Summary MGE Energy is a Dividend Champion, closing in on the vaunted Dividend King title. The electric and gas utility is forecasting significant investments over the next several years to keep up with electric load growth. MGEE's interest coverage ratio was nearly 5 through the first half of 2024. Shares appear to be priced at an 8% discount to their fair value. MGEE could deliver 35% cumulative total returns to shareholders by the end of 2026, in my view. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

MGE Energy: Now No Longer A Hidden Gem Utility

Summary Since my buy rating in March, shares of MGE Energy have soared 29%. The company's operating revenue dipped as diluted EPS surged higher in the first quarter.

The electric and gas utility's shares could still be 10% undervalued. MGEE could have a realistic path to double-digit annual total returns through 2026. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
