From the latest earnings call · 2026-07-30

CONFIDENT SO crushed Q2 with $1.13 EPS (+$0.21 YoY, +$0.13 vs. estimate). Massive 17 GW large-load pipeline (OpenAI 3.2 GW alone) drives 2.3% retail sales growth—highest in 2 decades. Full-year guidance raised to top of $4.50–$4.60 range. Q2 2026 Savannah area and Effingham County noted as strong for economic development. Pipeline west migrating; 500 MW projects already in Mississippi. Political noise on data centers in GA (county-level moratoriums) but projects advancing. Analysts pressed on rate case upside (CO-states stability; AL CMP process), RFP timing/sizing, Southern Power recontracting, new nuclear, and collateral adequacy. Management deferred rate decisions to regulators but signaled optionality from contract growth; affirmed disciplined RFP process and credit-supportive equity management. 2026-07-30…
