BKH BLACK HILLS CORP /SD/
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Black Hills Corp. reported Q1 2026 GAAP EPS of $1.73, missing consensus of $1.84 by 6%, and revenue of $780.7M, missing estimates of $903.9M by 14%, driven by mild winter weather and higher financing costs. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $4.25-$4.45, which may provide some support, but the earnings miss will likely pressure the stock near term.
Actionable Insight
The Q1 miss is significant and likely to weigh on BKH in the near term, but the reaffirmed full-year guidance and progress on the NorthWestern merger could limit downside. Monitor upcoming regulatory decisions and weather normalization for Q2.
