-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We keep our 12-month target at $64, 17.8x our next-12-month EPS estimate of $3.61, above D's five-year average of 17.1x but below peers to reflect expectations for no near-term dividend growth and the weakest near-term and long-term EPS growth in our Multi-Utilities coverage. We trim our 2026 EPS view by $0.01 to $3.59 and initiate 2027 EPS at $3.81. We think D faces elevated execution risk from the CVOW project's reduced contingency buffer (now 6% of remaining costs). Project delays add further risk, estimated at an additional $150M-$200M in costs for each delayed quarter. The current $11.4B budget does not reflect the estimated $200M-$300M impact from revised Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum, and copper. While potential PJM network upgrade cost reassessments could provide an offset, the magnitude and timing are uncertain. We still see D as a key enabler of the AI boom given its location in the world's largest data center market. Contracted data center capacity is now 51.0 GW, up from 48.5 GW in Q4.
