Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will Fortis achieve an EPS of at least $0.54?

What guidance will management provide regarding future revenue growth?

Future revenue growth is essential for assessing the company's long-term viability and investment in infrastructure.

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The consensus may underestimate Fortis's ability to manage costs effectively while investing in sustainable initiatives, which could lead to better-than-expected earnings.

Supporting Evidence

The options market is pricing a larger move than historical averages, indicating potential for a surprise.

Recent infrastructure investments may yield higher returns than anticipated, boosting revenue.

Key Risk

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels
