Analyst projections of the future price of Avista stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Avista’s Washington filing seeks staged electric and gas rate increases through 2030, with a four-year plan to fund reliability and wildfire work. If regulators approve a substantial share, it could improve cost recovery and support returns on investment. (KHQ)
Avista reaffirmed its 2026 utility earnings guidance of $2.52–$2.72 per share and expects long-term utility earnings growth of 4%–6%. That gives investors a stated earnings-growth path, although it depends on the company’s assumptions being met. (Avista Corporation)
A non-binding customer agreement outlines an initial 125 MW of demand from 2029, with a possible expansion to 500 MW by 2032. If contracts, permits and supporting infrastructure proceed, the large load could create room for further investment and growth. (SEC)
The August Spokane-area wildfires damaged transmission and distribution assets, leaving thousands without electric or gas service; Avista said it may seek later recovery of fire-related costs from customers. The damage creates repair costs and potential liability, alongside public and regulatory scrutiny. (The Spokesman-Review)
Avista plans $615 million of utility capital spending in 2026 and about $3.4 billion over 2026–30, while expecting to issue up to $90 million of common stock and $230 million of long-term debt this year. It is also weighing up to $100 million of extra short-term liquidity because of delayed cost recovery, raising dilution and financing-cost risks. (Avista Corporation)
Avista’s Washington rate request faces opposition: the state attorney general’s office challenged its proposed returns and argued that the utility should collect less than it sought. A materially lower award could leave earnings and cost recovery short of the company’s plan. (The Spokesman-Review)
