What the Analysts think about NorthWestern
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for NorthWestern stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
NorthWestern reaffirmed its 2025 earnings outlook of $3.53 to $3.65 per diluted share, committed to a $531 million capital investment plan, and remains focused on long-term EPS and rate base growth of 4%–6%.
On July 1, 2025, NorthWestern acquired Energy West’s Montana natural gas distribution system, adding more than 33,000 customers and broadening operations.
Settlement agreements in Montana—pending PSC approval—should raise annual natural gas base revenues by $18 million and electric base revenues by $66.4 million, supporting continued rate base expansion.
Q2 2025 diluted GAAP EPS dropped to $0.35 per share, down from $0.52 the previous year—a 33% decrease in profitability year-over-year.
Quarterly results were impacted by lower retail natural gas and electric sales due to adverse weather, non-recoverable Montana electric supply costs, higher property tax tracker collections, increased depreciation, operating and administrative expenses, and higher interest costs.
Regulatory uncertainty persists after the Montana Public Service Commission denied NorthWestern’s request to add $42.4 million in interim rate relief, delaying any revenue recovery.
