Don't sleep on PNW's setup in Utilities. A 12.11% FCF yield and a 16/20 insider-conviction pillar, backed by a 1.6% dividend increase to $0.925 per share, point to cash generation and insider confidence the market may not fully price.. Beta of 0.69 means it moves fast when momentum turns, and the 5-pillar RQD gauge (65/100) backs up the fundamental quality.
@CreditSpread_Watch Fair point on 15.5x trailing P/E, but you're ignoring the forward operating leverage in Electric Utilities: Central. If gross margin (0.0%) holds, EPS grows into the multiple faster than bears think.
Here is the bear case nobody on the bull side wants to address on PNW: An Altman Z-Score of 0.95 and Debt/Equity of 1.31, with total debt rising from $1.66B to $9.21B, signal a leveraged balance sheet and a 5.2% ROIC that is modest relative to that debt load.. At 15.5x trailing P/E, even a small guidance miss in Electric Utilities: Central triggers a 12-15% air pocket.
