Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Pinnacle West Capital Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target by $2 to $103, 18.5x our 2027 EPS view, slightly above peers as we see highly supportive economic trends in PNW's service territory. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.04 to $4.73 and lower 2027 EPS by $0.25 to $5.58. For the full year, higher interest costs and share dilution are expected to be offset by continued strength in transmission investment returns, retail electricity sales growth, and disciplined expense management. Along with strong population and job growth, we think growing demand from data centers and semiconductor manufacturing present strong long-term growth opportunities for the company. From 2025 to 2028, we anticipate dividend growth will be 3.4% on a compounded annual basis, well below our expectations for peers. We expect a dividend payout ratio near 78.5% in 2026, well above peer levels. However, we anticipate that the payout ratio will moderate somewhat as EPS growth outpaces dividend growth over time.

Research Alert: Pnw Delivers Strong Q1 On Record Heat, Data Center Demand, And Cost Discipline

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Pinnacle West delivered strong Q1 2026 results with EPS of $0.27 versus a loss of $0.04 in the prior year, driven by Arizona's warmest winter on record and continued economic growth. Operating revenues rose 11.4% to $1,149.6M with 2.2% customer growth and 9.4% weather-normalized retail sales growth, while commercial and industrial sales surged 14.6%. The company demonstrated strong operational execution with O&M expenses declining 7.8% despite expansion, though interest expense increased 22.3% from higher financing costs. PNW maintains 2026 EPS guidance of $4.55-$4.75 while extending long-term sales growth outlook to 5%-7% through 2030. The pending 2025 APS rate case remains a critical catalyst, with PNW seeking a $611M net revenue increase and final decision expected in Q4 2026. We believe successful rate recovery will be essential for earning adequate returns on PNW's $10.35B capital investment plan designed to capture over 20GW of potential demand growth opportunities.
