Why now
Utilities - Regulated Electric · market cap $15.3b. Down 49% from 52-week high of $23.41 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.44 — paying under fair value for the growth rate.
Moat
ROE 19% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately.
Risk
D/E 2.56 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Down 49% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Horizon
1-3 yr $12.91 (structural (no analyst coverage)) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $16.29 at ~6% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $20.90 if the moat survives secular pressure.
