Original source text
Key Takeaways IDACORP added 15,000 customers as industrial revenues rose 17% in the second quarter of 2026.
IDA expects annual retail electricity sales growth of 8.3% and peak demand growth of 5.1% over five years.
IDACORP plans $7.1 billion in capital investments through 2030 to support rising electricity demand.
IDACORP, Inc. (IDA - Free Report) is benefiting from rising electricity demand across its service territory, driven by customer growth, industrial expansion and large-load customers. IDA’s subsidiary, Idaho Power, added approximately 15,000 customers, reflecting 2.3% annual growth through June 30, 2026, while IDACORP’s second-quarter industrial revenues increased 17%, including large contract customers.

Customer growth, excluding large contract customers and net of associated power supply costs and power cost adjustment mechanisms, increased second-quarter operating income by $4.5 million. These developments highlight how rising customer demand can support IDACORP’s financial performance.

According to its 2025 Integrated Resource Plan, Idaho Power expects retail electricity sales to increase 8.3% annually and peak demand to rise 5.1% annually over five years. Higher electricity use at Micron’s expanding facilities and Meta’s new data center is expected to generate additional revenues in the second half of 2026. The company also has a strong pipeline of potential large-load customers across multiple industries. New energy service agreements may include take-or-pay clauses, termination payments and credit protections, limiting financial risks.

IDACORP is investing in generation capacity, battery storage and transmission infrastructure to meet rising demand efficiently. Idaho Power forecasts 2026 capital expenditures of $1.3-$1.5 billion and plans to invest approximately $7.1 billion through 2030, averaging $1.42 billion annually. Thus, continued customer growth, higher industrial demand and new large-load revenues could support IDACORP’s sales and earnings outlook.

Rising Electricity Demand Supports Utility Industry GrowthGrowing electricity needs encourage utilities to invest in grid upgrades, additional generation capacity and improved service reliability. These investments meet rising demand, support regional development and strengthen long-term industry growth prospects. IDA and other utilities also benefit from growing customer demand.

Alliant Energy Corporation (LNT - Free Report) had 1,011,128 electric customers as of June 30, 2026, up 0.69% year over year, while natural gas customers increased 0.47% to 432,892, supporting its regulated utility operations.

Pinnacle West (PNW - Free Report) subsidiary Arizona Public Service (APS) reported 5.6% growth in weather-normalized electricity sales and 2.1% customer growth in the second quarter of 2026, supporting electricity revenues and helping offset higher costs.

The spending is focused on generation, battery storage and transmission infrastructure to accommodate growing electricity demand. The company expects 2026 earnings of $6.30-$6.45 per share.

Idaho Power plans to develop 167 megawatts (MW), 222-MW South Hills and 430-MW Peregrine natural gas projects. It recently added 250 MW of company-owned battery storage capacity.

These investments are increasingly important as customer and load growth accelerates. Customer count increased 2.3% year over year, while industrial revenues rose 17%, reflecting higher demand from large contract customers.  Overall, continued investment in generation, storage and transmission can expand infrastructure capacity and help IDACORP meet long-term load growth.

Key Takeaways IDACORP lifts its quarterly dividend 2.3% to 90 cents per share, or $3.60 annualized.IDA plans nearly $7B of investments for 2026-2030 to strengthen capacity and infrastructure.IDACORP's regulated Idaho operations and customer additions support steady earnings and dividend growth. IDACORP Inc. (IDA - Free Report) announced that its board of directors approved a 2.3% increase in the quarterly dividend. Following the hike, the quarterly dividend will rise to 90 cents per share, translating into an annualized dividend of $3.60. The company’s current dividend yield stands at 2.73%, higher than the Zacks S&P 500 composite yield of 1.44%.

IDACORP has maintained a consistent track record of rewarding shareholders through annual dividend increases. The company has raised dividend every year since 2011, placing it among a select group of companies with a long-standing history of dividend growth. The latest increase takes the cumulative rise in IDACORP’s annualized dividend since 2011 to nearly 200%.

Through steady annual dividend increases, management aims to keep IDACORP’s dividend payout within its targeted range of 50% to 60%, while continuing to provide attractive returns to shareholders.

Can IDACORP Sustain Dividend Hikes?IDACORP’s regulated electric operations in Idaho provide a relatively stable earnings base. Improving economic conditions across its service territories are supporting steady customer growth, which, in turn, is contributing positively to the company’s operating income.

The company plans to invest nearly $7 billion during the 2026-2030 period, averaging approximately $1.42 billion annually. These systematic investments are aimed at strengthening generation capacity and infrastructure, enabling Idaho Power to reliably meet rising electricity demand from its expanding customer base.

IDACORP continues to pursue initiatives aimed at strengthening its financial position and enhancing core operations. Continued customer additions and the development of new facilities by large-load customers are expected to drive electricity demand. The company’s stable operating performance and expanding customer base should also support its ability to maintain consistent annual dividend growth.

Utilities Reward Shareholders With Dividend HikesThe domestic focus, stable performers and regulated utilities continue to reward their shareholders through dividend hikes and repurchases. Like IDACORP, some other utilities also rewarded their shareholders with dividend hikes.

American Water Works (AWK), Duke Energy (DUK - Free Report) and Essential Utilities (WTRG - Free Report) already increased their annual dividend rates by 8.2%, 1.9% and 5.25%, respectively, in 2026.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AWK, DUK and WTRG’s 2026 EPS has moved up year-over-year by 7.98%, 6.5% and 0.5% respectively.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $450.88 million. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

What's Next for IdaCorp?While IdaCorp has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for IdaCorp was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
