Portland General Electric: Small-Cap Dividend Gem
Summary Portland General Electric is a well-managed regulated utility company sporting a 4.6% dividend yield and 6% historical dividend growth; coupled with a solid forward power demand and EPS runway. I believe the stock is quite inexpensive on valuation, in part due to being painted with the same risk-on brush as California utilities affected by wildfires. It isn't. Small-cap Portland General appears to offer superior asymmetrical risk - reward, making it a potential investment gem. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Feb 23

Portland General Electric: Bullish AI Data Center Demand Amid Environmental Risks
Summary I have a buy rating on Portland General Electric (POR) due to its attractive valuation and compelling forward yield just shy of 5%. Despite risks from natural disasters and congestion costs, POR's low 13.1x forward P/E ratio and potential for a bounce make it a 'buy the dip' opportunity. POR's Q3 results were strong, with GAAP EPS of $0.90 and revenue of $929 million, driven by industrial load growth and better wholesale power prices. Key risks include natural disasters, congestion costs, rate case uncertainties, and rising market interest rates, but the technical setup suggests a rally to $45.
