Southern Co. reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.94, up from $1.60 in the same quarter in 2025. Earnings are on track to meet our full-year estimate and the high end of management's guidance range.
Southern has excellent regulatory relationships in most of the states it serves, due in large part to low energy rates and solid operational performance.
Cost overruns and construction delays at Vogtle and Kemper demonstrated the risk of taking on large infrastructure projects.
