US DOE Extends Life of Coal Units at 2 Indiana Power Plants Until Sept. 19

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Thursday extended an emergency order issued to prolong the life of several generation units at two Indiana coal-fired power plants that were due to shut down in late 2025, the US Department of Energy said in a statement.The order directs NiSource (Ni) subsidiary Northern Indiana Public Service Company, CenterPoint Energy (CNP), and the regional transmission organization Midcontinent Independent System Operator to ensure that designated power-generation units at Indiana's R M Schahfer and F B Culley plants remain available for operation.The R M Schahfer plant is owned by NIPSCO, while CenterPoint Energy owns the F B Culley facility.Since the DOE first issued the emergency order on Dec. 23 last year, "the coal plants have proven critical to MISO's operations, operating during periods of high energy demand and low levels of intermittent energy production, including during Winter Storm Fern," the statement said.The decision was made to ensure access to affordable, reliable, and secure electricity in the Midwest, especially during peak summer demand, the statement said.The orders are effective from June 22 through Sept. 19.Price: $42.82, Change: $+0.19, Percent Change: +0.45%

Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Hold Opinion On Shares Of Nisource Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $2 to $50, reflecting 23.6x our next-12-month EPS estimate of $2.11, a significant premium to NI's three- and five-year historical averages of 18.9x and 18.8x, respectively, but only modestly above its one-year average of 21.8x. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.03 to $2.06 and our 2027 EPS estimate by $0.04 to $2.24. The GenCo initiative continues to gain momentum with expanded collaborations with Alphabet and Amazon expected to deliver approximately $1.4B in customer cost savings. While EPS contributions from the GenCo structure are expected to be small in the near term, NI sees earnings ramping up toward the end of the decade and beyond, becoming a larger component of NI's long-term growth expectations. We think NI has attractive rate base growth, EPS, and dividend growth opportunities from its capex program and clean energy efforts but view the current valuation as fair at 22.7x consensus estimates for 2026. We expect 8.4% EPS growth and 7.1% dividend growth in 2026.

Research Alert: Nisource Posts Q1 Beat, Raises Long-term Growth Outlook On Data Center Strategy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:NiSource delivered Q1 non-GAAP adjusted EPS of $1.06, representing 8.2% growth and beating consensus estimates of $1.05. Weather conditions provided a $3.7M tailwind compared to a $16.8M negative impact in Q1 2025. The GenCo initiative continues gaining momentum with expanded partnerships with Alphabet and Amazon expected to deliver approximately $1.4B in customer cost savings, positioning NiSource to capitalize on growing data center energy demand. Management raised its 2026-2033 non-GAAP consolidated adjusted EPS compound annual growth rate guidance to 9%-10% from 8%-9% and reaffirmed 2026 guidance of $2.02-$2.07. We believe the upward revision in long-term growth guidance reflects accelerating benefits from the data center strategy and provides NiSource with superior growth visibility compared to traditional utility peers. In our view, the GenCo model represents a differentiated growth strategy that strengthens grid infrastructure while delivering tangible customer benefits.
