Oklo stock tumbles as Financial Times scrutinizes valuation
Investing.com - BofA Securities has raised its price target on Dominion Resources, Inc. (NYSE:D) to $63.00 from $61.00 while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. The utility company, currently trading at $60.58, sits near its 52-week high of $62.52 and offers a 4.41% dividend yield, having maintained dividend payments for 43 consecutive years.
The research firm expects Dominion to report third-quarter 2025 operating earnings per share of $0.93, matching consensus expectations but below the prior year’s $0.98 per share. BofA Securities notes that quarterly results will benefit from investments in regulated business, higher sales and rates, and improved contracted margins. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company trades at a P/E ratio of 20.08, with additional insights available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report.
These positive factors will be offset by higher depreciation expense, increased financing costs, equity dilution, lower nuclear PTC revenues, and milder weather, according to the firm’s analysis.
BofA Securities anticipates Dominion will reaffirm its full-year 2025 EPS guidance range of $3.28-$3.52 (with a $3.40 midpoint) and maintain its 5%-7% EPS growth guidance. The firm does not expect Dominion to update its capital investment plan until its fourth-quarter update call.
The maintained Neutral rating reflects the stock’s current valuation, execution risk on large capital projects, and uncertainty surrounding ongoing regulatory proceedings.

The underwriting agreement was signed with BofA Securities, J.P. Morgan Securities, and Truist Securities.
