NiSource Inc NI
Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
We expect the dividend to grow near 6% annually during the next few years before accelerating to keep pace with earnings in 2025 and beyond.
Bears
Industrial customers account for over half of NiSource's electric sales, higher than most utilities. Industrial sales are more sensitive to the economy than residential and commercial sales.
