Top 4 Utilities Stocks That May Keep You Up At Night This Quarter

Shares of Idacorp Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDA#NYSE">IDA</a>) continued on an upward trajectory in early trading on Tuesday. 
The stock climbed more than 7% over the past month.
During its third-quarter earnings call, the company raised its five-year load growth forecast in its preliminary 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), according to BofA Securities.
Analyst Ross Fowler upgraded the rating for Idacorp from Neutral to Buy. He raised the price target from $113 to $117.
The Idacorp Thesis: The company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings $2.12 per share, missing consensus of $2.17 per share, but raised its full-year guidance range from $5.30-$5.45 per share to $5.35-$5.45, per share,Fowler said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The forecasted rate base growth in IRP spiked from about 11% to around 17%. That&#8217;s "well above average broader electric peers," he added.
The five-year capex plan increased 46% in total, the analyst wrote. Over $1 billion of the increase attributable to the inclusion of new generation projects from 2026 and 2027 RFP commitments.
"Longer term, we note incremental upside to capex/rate base growth could result from new generation/transmission needs implied by the ongoing 2025 IRP and &#8217;28/&#8217;29 RFP filings, along with pending projects from large load industrial customers, which are not included in the current plan," he further stated.
This could enable Idacorp to generate above-average earnings growth of an 8% CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) through 2028, Fowler said.
Price Action: Shares of Idacorp had risen by 2.61% to $108.89 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

Primo Water (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prmw#NYSE">PRMW</a>) announced that its board of directors has approved a special dividend of 82 cents, which reflects an increase of 811% from its quarterly dividend rate of 9 cents. It will be payable on Nov. 21, 2024, to stockholders of record as of Nov. 5, 2024.
<h2>Rationale Behind PRMW&#39;s Special Dividend</h2>
The special dividend came after Primo Water announced the receipt of regulatory approval under the Investment Canada Act in connection with the previously announced all-stock combination of Primo Water and BlueTriton, Inc. The transaction is expected to be closed by the end of 2024.
According to Primo Water, the combination of Primo Water and BlueTriton and their extensive brand and product portfolios should better position the companies to meet their customers&#39; demands and provide quality customer service.
<h2>Can PRMW Continue to Increase Shareholders&#39; Value?</h2>
The company continues to benefit from organic customer growth and strategic investment plans. The increasing water demand should also boost the company&#39;s performance. The second-quarter 2024 revenues increased 7.6% year over year. Organic growth contributed 6.6% to the top line.
Primo Water is still performing well on the basis of its precise and targeted plan. Consequently, the company is achieving balanced and broad-based rapid top-line growth. Strong profit growth can be attributed to its productivity and growth initiatives, which also enable margin improvement.
Since the beginning of this year, the company has embraced a new strategy that includes a focus on customer-centric initiatives, must-win priorities, and a commercial and growth mindset leveraging its portfolio of hydration solutions.
PRMW is continuously investing in improving its infrastructure. Between 2021 and 2023, the company invested nearly $437.6 million, and it aims to invest $154.1 million in 2024.
Primo Water has the potential to expand and improve even further, which suggests that management will have sufficient funds to continue with its shareholder-friendly initiatives in the future.
