What the Analysts think about NWN
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Northwest Natural stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Adjusted net income rose to $92.1 million in the first half of 2025, up $31.1 million year‐over‐year, driven by new Oregon utility rates, contributions from SiEnergy and NW N Water operations, and earnings from NW Natural Renewables, highlighting resilient multi‐segment growth.
Northwest Natural added over 92,000 gas and water utility connections in the past 12 months—a 10.6% increase—primarily from the acquisitions of SiEnergy and Pines, enhancing scale, customer diversity, and revenue streams.
NW Natural and stakeholders filed multi‐party settlements in its 2025 Oregon rate case securing a $21.3 million (2.5%) revenue requirement increase with a 9.5% ROE and 7.12% cost of capital, mitigating regulatory lag and ensuring timely rate relief.
Net income for 2024 declined to $2.03 per share from $2.59 in 2023 due to a regulatory lag that delayed implementation of new Oregon gas utility rates until November 1, 2024, underscoring earnings volatility from rate case timing.
Higher operations and maintenance costs, depreciation, and interest expenses partially offset earnings growth in the first half of 2025, reflecting cost pressures from accelerated capital investments and the integration of acquisitions such as SiEnergy and Pines.
The approved 9.5% return on equity and 7.12% overall cost of capital in the Oregon rate case settlement fall short of the 10.4% ROE and 7.658% cost of capital sought in the initial filing, capping potential regulated earnings upside.
