Now, let’s go deeper. This is currently a $12.31 billion market capitalization company located within the utilities sector and the independent power producers and power brokers industry. First things first, jumping into this Rating grade, which is currently an A, we see that the non-GAAP PEG forward ratio is 0.83, compared to the sector at 2.66, indicating about a 68.5% discount to the sector.
Jumping into the Growth category is currently D-, meaning that forward-looking EPS GAAP growth currently stands at 79.17%, compared to the sector’s 7.89%. And I want to highlight the year-on-year operating income growth of 63.50%, compared to the industry at only 4.14%. That’s a pretty good metric there.
Leaping to Profit is currently a C grade. We can look at the return on common equity sitting at 30.16%, compared to the sector at 9.36%. They also have a positive trailing 12 month operating income of $3.91 billion, compared to the industry’s only $1.44 billion.
Jumping to the Momentum grade which is currently A+, which is very favorable across the board here, clearly, the company is within the energy producers industry, 66.47% compared to the sector with only 24.06% riding the AI wave.
Skip to Revisions grade, currently C-. That’s 3 upward revisions and 3 downward revisions to earnings per share over the past three months, and 3 upward revisions and 1 downward revision to revenue numbers over the past three months.
Now that this is a service, it pays dividends. You will see an annual yield of 4.07 %. The dividend safety rating is currently B-. Dividend growth is D. The dividend yield is A grade, and the dividend yield is B grade.
Jumping in here, we see on top of consistency, they’ve been paying their dividend for 13 years and growing it for 12 years. And if we take a quick look at the dividend yield, it currently outperforms its sector in that yield, which is good and favorable to shareholders.
