What the Analysts think about NorthWestern

Analyst projections of the future price of NorthWestern stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Adjusted second-quarter EPS rose to $0.50 from $0.40 a year earlier, helped by new rates and retail volumes. NorthWestern reaffirmed its 2026 earnings guidance of $3.68 to $3.83 per share. (NorthWestern Energy)
A $3.2 billion five-year investment programme is expected to support 4%–6% annual rate-base and earnings growth. That gives the regulated utility a defined path to expand its earnings base. (NorthWestern Energy)
The company has development agreements for data-centre supply that could start at 150 megawatts in late 2027 and grow to about 1,500 megawatts or more by 2030. If these projects secure service agreements and proceed, they could add substantial demand for NorthWestern’s power and network. (Yahoo Finance)
Montana regulators sent NorthWestern’s long-term resource plan back for revision, citing shortcomings in its load forecasts and resource analysis. That raises the risk of delays or costly investment decisions being challenged before they can support growth. (Daily Montanan)
Montana is the last required regulatory approval for the Black Hills merger, and a court dispute over whether a newly seated commissioner can vote adds uncertainty to the decision. A delay or an unfavourable ruling could derail the transaction’s expected benefits. (Daily Montanan)
Data-centre projects may require costly generation, substations and transmission, yet their eventual demand and commercial viability remain uncertain. If projects stall after infrastructure is built, existing customers could face pressure to cover costs that the new loads were expected to bear. (Montana Free Press)
