In other recent news, NorthWestern Corporation reported its Q1 2025 earnings, revealing an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.22, which exceeded analyst expectations of $1.14. Despite this positive earnings surprise, the company’s revenue fell short, totaling $466.6 million compared to the anticipated $491.64 million. This mixed performance has led to concerns about sales momentum, even as the company continues to pursue growth through strategic initiatives like increased ownership in Colstrip and data center opportunities. NorthWestern has also completed $500 million in debt financing for 2025, ensuring its financial stability for the year. Additionally, the company is advancing its carbon-free initiatives, achieving over 60% carbon-free energy in Montana. On the regulatory front, NorthWestern is nearing completion of a Montana rate review, with settlements reached in both natural gas and electric cases. The company maintains its long-term EPS growth target of 4-6% and expects Q2 earnings to contribute approximately 10% of full-year earnings. Despite these developments, the stock dipped 2.2% in after-hours trading, reflecting investor concerns over revenue shortfalls and potential regulatory challenges with the Colstrip facility.
