Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Utilities Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

2024 Earnings Guidance and Outlook
<ul>
<li>Avista Corp. is lowering its 2024 consolidated earnings guidance to a range of $2.26 to $2.46 per diluted share as a result of lower-than-expected valuations at our other businesses.</li>
<li>Including the expected ERM impact of negative $0.08 per diluted share, we expect Avista Utilities to contribute near the low end of the range of $2.23 to $2.39 per diluted share in 2024.</li>
<li>We expect AEL&amp;P to contribute in the range of $0.09 to $0.11 per diluted share in 2024.</li>
<li>Valuations in the private equity markets have not recovered to the degree we expected. As a result, we now expect our other businesses to have a net loss in the range of $0.06 to $0.04 per diluted share in 2024.</li>
<li>Our guidance does not include the effect of unusual or non-recurring items until the effects are probable. Various factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including our earnings guidance. Please refer to our 10-K for 2023, our 10-Q for the third quarter of 2024, and the cautionary statements below, for a full discussion of these factors.</li>

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding $85,664,781 in grant funding through its Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) program to Avista, in partnership with Idaho Power, to reconstruct the Lolo-Oxbow 230-kV transmission line.

Idaho Power's new Pallette Junction Station will increase interregional transfer capability between the Pacific Northwest and Mountain regions. The project uses innovative construction approaches and advanced power flow control devices to optimally distribute power across the Lolo-Oxbow line and three other lines that comprise an Idaho-to-Northwest transmission path whose capacity is currently strained.
This modernization will benefits hundreds of thousands of people by:
<ul>
<li>Improving the power system's resilience against wildfires, aiming to reduce line outages to less than one per year.</li>
<li>Increasing interregional capacity by approximately 635 MW, benefiting customers across the region, including the Nez Perce Tribe as they seek generation interconnection capacity for renewable resources on their reservation.</li>
<li>Enabling workforce development and job creation, including collaboration with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) labor union. &nbsp;</li>

Avista Corp Confirms 2024 EPS Guidance Range Of $2.36-$2.56.

Avista (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVA#NYSE">AVA</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.91 per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.00 by 9 percent. The company reported quarterly sales of $594.936 million which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $469.336 million by 26.76 percent.

Avista Q1 2024 GAAP EPS $0.91 Misses $1.00 Estimate, Sales $594.936M Beat $469.336M Estimate

2024 Earnings Guidance and Outlook
Avista Corp. is initiating its 2024 earnings guidance with a consolidated range of $2.36 to $2.56 per diluted share.
We expect Avista Utilities to contribute within a range of $2.23 to $2.39 per diluted share in 2024. We expect the impact of the ERM on earnings to be negative during the first quarter of 2024 in the 50 percent customer/50 percent company sharing band. For the full year, we expect the ERM to be neutral to earnings with a positive impact in the latter part of the year offsetting the negative impact in the first quarter.
In 2023, the distribution of our earnings between quarters differed from our historical results due to the impact of customer tax credits being returned to customers, reducing customer bills and income tax expense. We expect the distribution of earnings between quarters in 2024 to more closely align with results prior to 2023.
We expect AEL&amp;P to contribute in the range of $0.09 to $0.11 per diluted share in 2024.
We expect our other businesses to contribute in the range of $0.04 to $0.06 per diluted share in 2024.
We continue to expect long term earnings growth of 4 to 6 percent off of a 2025 base year. This assumes a constructive outcome in our 2024 Washington general rate cases.
Our guidance does not include the effect of unusual or non-recurring items until the effects are known and certain. Various factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including our earnings guidance. Please refer to our 10-K for 2023, and the cautionary statements below, for a full discussion of these factors.
