Hydro One's 2025 results show strong regulated utility performance with revenue and earnings growth, margin improvement, and a healthy balance sheet. The 6% dividend increase and $254 million in productivity savings signal operational discipline. Traders should watch for the OEB's decision on the Z-Factor application for $225 million in storm costs (expected early 2026) and the outcome of the 2026 rate applications. The company's $3.2 billion projected 2026 capital investment plan supports long-term rate base growth.
