Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

The Idacorp (IDA) stock experienced significant activity between August 31, 2025, and December 4, 2025. Here are key points that likely influenced its movement, including events that led to a reported 3.17% drop in February 2025 related to future guidance, and other subsequent developments:

1. Disappointing 2025 Guidance and Initial Stock Drop: In February 2025, IDACORP's shares fell over 3% after its 2025 earnings guidance of $5.65 to $5.85 per share came in below analysts' expectations of $5.85 per share at the high end, despite beating fourth-quarter earnings estimates.

2. Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Beat Expectations: IDACORP reported its third-quarter 2025 results on October 30, 2025, with net income attributable to IDACORP of $124.4 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, surpassing analysts' consensus estimates of $2.23 per share. This marked an increase from $113.6 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024. The company attributed this to continued customer growth and rate changes.
