Northwestern has unveiled a five-year capital expenditure plan totaling $3.21 billion, alongside a target of 5% compound annual EPS growth through 2028. This outlook is supported by recent strategic moves including the acquisition of additional data center land and the ongoing integration efforts with the recently completed merger of Liberty and NextGen in 2024. The company's expansion into data center infrastructure and renewable energy for major tech companies is expected to be a significant driver of this growth.

NorthWestern Energy (NWE) offers an attractive 3.84% dividend yield and trades at a favorable valuation, positioned for growth due to increasing data center development in its service areas of Montana and South Dakota. The company aims for 4%-6% annual EPS growth, projecting an 8%-10% total annual return including dividends. While the dividend's sustainability is strong based on cash flow, recent increases have not kept pace with inflation, affecting income growth for shareholders.

NorthWestern Energy Group (NWE) concluded FY 2025 with reduced net profit margins of 11.2% compared to 14.8% the previous year, despite increased revenue. This margin compression, along with a drop in basic EPS from US$3.66 to US$2.95, reinforces bearish narratives concerning regulatory lag, high capital expenditure, and interest coverage issues. While consensus points to long-term growth drivers like data center demand and regulatory reforms, the company's valuation metrics, including a P/E of 23.6x and a dividend not well covered by free cash flow, highlight investor risks.
