The largest U.S. utility is about to buy Dominion Energy, a big peer with data-center exposure. What's not to like?

I am rating Southern Company a buy because I believe large-load demand is changing its earnings profile. The growth is backed by physical infrastructure such as 10 GW of new state-regulated resources under construction, more than 500 miles of new transmission lines, and an $81 billion capital plan. My 2028 estimate for adjusted EPS is $5.25 and is supported by large-load demand, regulated infrastructure growth, DOE financing support, Southern Power capacity additions, and Southeast customer growth.
