Most Popular Narrative: 2% Overvalued
Fortis closed at CA$84.68 against an analyst consensus fair value of CA$82.82, so the analyst consensus Narrative on Simply Wall St frames the recent share price strength as leaving only a modest valuation cushion while still backing a regulated growth story built on a CA$32.2b capital plan.
The CAD 28.8b multi year capital plan through 2030, supported by record CAD 5.6b invested in 2025 and a further CAD 1.4b in early 2026, continues to underpin Fortis’s outlook for about 7% average annual rate base growth, which feeds into long term growth in regulated revenue and earnings.
See why 98 investors see Fortis as 2% overvalued.
Result: Fair Value of CA$82.82 (OVERVALUED)
Still, the Fortis story can change quickly if regulatory lag at UNS Energy persists, or if heavier debt funding for the CA$32.2b program squeezes earnings.
