The Base scenario reflects the modal operating pathway of a mature regulated utility executing on its multi-year capital investment program. Electric load expands steadily in line with regional population growth and scheduled industrial interconnections. General rate-case settlements in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida authorize returns on equity consistent with historical precedent, enabling the grid modernization capital expenditure program to compound the regulated rate base at a mid-single-digit pace. Under these assumptions, the projected target reaches $124.95 with a probability of 65.0%, offering an expected return of 10.2% from $113.35.
In the Bull scenario, accelerated data center interconnections and manufacturing reshoring across southeastern service territories drive electric volume growth above baseline expectations. State regulatory commissions grant constructive rate orders with authorized equity returns exceeding historical baselines, allowing rapid rate-base compounding without requiring dilutive equity financing. Operating margins expand modestly and valuation multiples rerate upward toward premium regulated peers. Under these conditions, the projected target is $190.96 with an estimated probability of 15.0%, representing an expected return of 68.5% from the analysis price of $113.35.
