What the Analysts think about Unitil
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Unitil stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Unitil stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
First-half 2026 net income increased $6.4 million year over year to $37.9 million, while adjusted EPS rose to $2.17 from $2.03. Electric and gas adjusted gross margins increased by $7.9 million and $14.6 million, respectively, driven primarily by higher rates, customer growth, and colder weather. (Unitil Q2 2026 earnings release)
Regulatory recovery is supporting visible rate-base expansion: Unitil received a $13.0 million permanent Unitil Energy rate increase, has a $3.2 million capital-tracker adjustment expected in September 2026, and is pursuing additional New Hampshire and Maine rate increases. Management reaffirmed 2026 EPS guidance of $3.20–$3.36 and long-term EPS growth of 5%–7%. (Unitil May 2026 investor presentation)
Recent acquisitions are broadening Unitil’s regulated-utility platform: Bangor Natural Gas and Maine Natural Gas contributed to 2026 results, gas customers increased 7.3% year over year in the first quarter, and Unitil completed the purchase of Aquarion’s New Hampshire water companies in the second quarter. (Unitil Q2 2026 earnings release)
Higher financing and operating costs are already pressuring earnings: first-half 2026 interest expense rose $2.8 million, while operation and maintenance, depreciation, and non-income-tax expenses increased by $3.3 million, $4.0 million, and $3.4 million, respectively. (Unitil Q2 2026 earnings release)
A meaningful portion of the growth outlook depends on regulatory execution: Northern Utilities’ New Hampshire permanent rate case remains pending until 2027, while the Maine case’s final award is still undetermined. Delays or lower-than-requested awards could reduce rate-base recovery and earnings growth. (Unitil May 2026 investor presentation)
Unitil faces substantial funding and integration demands: its five-year capital plan totals $1.2 billion, while the Aquarion New Hampshire transaction is expected to be earnings-neutral in 2026 and the Massachusetts transaction was not expected to close concurrently. This raises execution, leverage, and potential equity-financing risks. (Unitil May 2026 investor presentation)
