- The utility NorthWestern Corporation is planning to invest more than $2 billion over the coming 5 five years in expanding its capacity and reducing its production shortfall.
- Debt loads are becoming an increasing point of concern in the utility sector, and NorthWestern was recently downgraded to BBB, with a stable outlook.
- In spite of the downgrade, NorthWestern's overall debt profile, valuation, and dividend make it a reasonable option in a defensive or income-focused portfolio.
