Q2 results were in line with expectations for a regulated utility holding company. The increase in the Central Hudson contingent liability is notable but fully insured, limiting downside. The large new gas and renewable purchase commitments signal continued capital deployment. Monitor the November 2026 TEP rate case decision and the Alberta Court of Appeal ruling on FortisAlberta's PBR appeal for potential regulatory catalysts.
