Avista Corporation (AVA): score, valuation & FAQ
Avista Corporation (AVA) is a Utilities - Diversified company that scores 49.4 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a below-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are P/S (A-) and D/E (B+), while Rev (D+) and FCF (F) rate weaker.
Is AVA a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores AVA 49.4 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a below-average reading. That is driven by P/S (A-) and D/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Avista Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does AVA score 49.4 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on value at 75.0 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 34.9 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. AVA earns its highest marks on P/S (A-) and D/E (B+), and is held back by Rev (D+) and FCF (F). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so AVA is measured against Utilities - Diversified peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is AVA overvalued or undervalued?
We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for AVA — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.
What are the main risks of investing in AVA?
Free cash flow is negative (-$104m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Dividend payout 71% of earnings on a 5.5% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.
