AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 3, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Avista confirmed its 2026 non-GAAP utility earnings guidance of $2.52–$2.72 per diluted share even as wildfires near Spokane caused transmission/distribution damage, ~7,300 electric and ~5,300 gas customers remain without service, and Q2 GAAP results were lifted by reversing prior non-utility investment losses while management signaled a likely contested Washington rate case settlement.

Bullish
  • + Confirmed 2026 non-GAAP utility earnings guidance of $2.52–$2.72 per diluted share
  • + Q2 GAAP net income rose to $35M from $14M on the recovery of prior-year non-utility investment losses
  • + Crews restored a key damaged transmission line, reducing risk of further capacity-driven outages
Bearish
  • − CFO expects much of the ~$17M Q2-equity gain from an EIP portfolio IPO to reverse, estimating a ~$13M loss next quarter on July 31 fair value
  • − Washington rate case likely will not settle, with hearing in September and order expected mid-December
  • − Up to $100M of additional short-term liquidity may be needed by year-end due to increased regulatory deferrals and delayed recovery
  • − Data center MOU remains paused and the 500MW project was removed from capital plan upside as affordability/community concerns are worked through
