Southern Company's Valuations Not Enticing Now, And Stock Approaching Key Resistance Level
I initially rated Southern Company (SO) a buy due to strong regional growth and compelling valuations, but now downgrade it to hold due to expensive valuations. SO posted strong Q1 results, with Non-GAAP EPS of $1.23 and revenue of $7.78 billion, driven by state-regulated utility investments and weather-related factors. While the company witnessed a degrowth in retail demand, it was more than offset by the commercial and industrial demand.
