Base and Bull scenarios

Base65%

Price target

$124.95

+10.2% from spot

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.

Steady electric volume growth supported by southeastern demographic trends
Constructive regulatory rate-case outcomes preserving historical allowed return on equity levels
Grid modernization capital expenditures successfully converted into productive rate base assets
Refinancing of maturing debt accommodated within approved regulatory tariff structures

Bull15%

Price target

$190.96

+68.5% from spot

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.

Electric volume growth accelerates above baseline driven by commercial and industrial customer interconnections
State regulatory commissions approve authorized returns on equity exceeding historical utility benchmarks
Capital expenditure programs proceed on schedule without cost overruns or equity dilution
