What the Analysts think about NWN

Analyst projections of the future price of Northwest Natural stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
First-half EPS rose to $2.33 from adjusted EPS of $2.28 a year earlier, and management now expects 2026 EPS in the upper half of its $2.95–$3.15 guidance range. It also forecasts 6%–8% rate-base growth through 2030. (Northwest Natural Holdings)
SiEnergy is growing quickly, with customer growth above 15% and a backlog of more than 260,000 future meters. A proposed Texas rate-case settlement would add $8.6 million to annual revenue and establish a route to interim rate adjustments as the system expands. (Northwest Natural Holdings, Northwest Natural Holdings)
Washington regulators approved a three-year rate plan, including a $20.1 million annual revenue increase from August 2026 and further increases in the next two years. The order sets a 9.5% return on equity, improving visibility on returns from the utility’s investment there. (Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission)
The investment programme creates funding and dilution risk: first-half capital spending of $235 million exceeded operating cash flow of $226 million, while gross long-term debt reached $2.52 billion. Management also expects to fund planned investment with new debt and equity issuance. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Higher costs are already eating into rate gains: the company said higher Oregon rate margins were offset by increased operating, depreciation and financing costs. If those expenses keep rising, approved rate increases may translate into less earnings growth. (Northwest Natural Holdings)
The water business is not yet delivering the expected earnings lift: second-quarter EPS fell to $0.05 from $0.07, and first-half results were modestly below plan. Higher operating costs tied to integration and centralisation weighed on the segment. (Northwest Natural Holdings)
