  • Fortis Unveils $28.8 Billion Regulated Infrastructure Plan, Impacting Investors
    April 27, 2026, 1:28 AM EDT. Fortis Inc. announced a record C$28.8 billion five-year capital plan focusing on regulated utility investments. The plan supports expectations for 7% rate base growth and 4-6% annual dividend increases through 2030. Investors see this as a commitment to stable, regulated earnings and steady dividend growth. However, near-term risks include higher debt levels and rising interest costs, which might pressure earnings. Regulatory approval and efficient execution remain crucial catalysts. Market views on Fortis's fair value vary widely, reflecting uncertainty about the capital plan's execution and funding. Current stock prices align closely with a C$76.83 valuation, though some forecasts suggest potential upside beyond twice this level. The dividend of C$0.64 per share for Q2 2026 highlights ongoing shareholder income focus amid these developments.
