The firm is updating its price targets for Regulated & Diversified Utilities / IPPs in North America under its coverage, the analyst tells investors. In September, utilities outperformed the S&P, the firm notes. Heading into Q3, the firm expects a key focus for utilities to be on the evolution of data center pipelines and is watching for commentary around interconnection times.

The firm views the settlement in the KU/LG&E rate case positively, as it proposes an aggregate electric and gas rate increase of $235M and incrementally derisks the company's regulatory calendar, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Buy

Reason

BTIG analyst Alex Kania initiated coverage of PPL Corp. with a Buy rating and $44 price target. The firm views utilities as a "demand growth story today" due to data centers and re-Industrialization in the U.S. as reshoring incentives and tariffs take hold. Despite being close to decade-plus stock highs, company valuations "look reasonable," the analyst tells investors in a research note. BTIG sees valuations being supported by elevated growth and potential interest rate cuts. Its bullish view on the sector's growth leads to more Buy ratings.
