Reason

Morgan Stanley downgraded Southern Company to Underweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $81, down from $97, as part of its 2026 outlook for the utilities group. Utility share performance will be driven by data centers and growth upside in 2026 "with no slowing of activity or relief to grid tightness," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Morgan Stanley recommends investors avoid political and regulatory risk, especially in an active election year.

Sector Perform

Reason

RBC Capital analyst Stephen D'Ambrisi lowered the firm's price target on Southern Company to $99 from $107 and keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares. The company's recently announced settlement in the GA All-Source RFP likely adds $4B to capital plan & explicitly ties large load additions to $1.7B in rate credits, the analyst tells investors in a research note. RBC adds however that despite the 4% underperformance since late October, the firm remains at neutral pending more clarity on a potentially politically noisy 2026.

downgrade

Underweight

Reason

KeyBanc lowered the firm's price target on Southern Company to $76 from $87 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares. While the stock's slight premium remains supported by Southern's strong regulatory construct in its territories, particularly in GA, the firm believes the recent three-year stay-out and the absence of new rates in its largest jurisdiction will make it difficult for Southern to rebase/guide higher for its EPS growth rate. As a result, KeyBanc thinks Southern's growth opportunities are more limited than the market is currently pricing in, and that growth rate revisions are unlikely in the near term. Consequently, it still sees Southern as an unattractive source of funds and expects its premium to compress further relative to peers.

Reason
