Fortis Inc. (FTS)
The company now
Fortis reported third-quarter 2026 net earnings of $474 million, or $0.92 per common share, on 3 November 2026 1. A year earlier the figure was $0.81 per share 1. Revenue for the quarter was $3,115 million against $2,938 million in 2025 2.
Fortis said the year-earlier quarter carried $32 million of income taxes and closing costs from selling FortisTCI, its Turks and Caicos utility 1. Without that, net earnings rose by $33 million, mainly because the utilities' rate base, the value of the assets on which regulators let them earn a return, grew 1.
The company also released a new 2027-2031 capital plan of $32.2 billion, which it called the largest in its history, $3.4 billion above the prior plan 1. Fortis expects the plan to lift midyear rate base from $45.3 billion in 2026 to $63.9 billion by 2031, a 7.5% yearly rate 1. It raised the fourth-quarter dividend by 4% and extended its 4-6% annual dividend growth guidance through 2031 1.
One open question is Arizona 2. An Arizona Corporation Commission judge recommended in October 2026 a return on common equity of 9.65% for Tucson Electric Power, and the full commission's approval is anticipated in November 2026 2.
