Analyst Ross Fowler reinstated coverage on 4 US utilities in Great Plains, reinstating Buy rating for EVRG, MDU, Neutral rating rating on OGE and Underperform for BKH. EVRG's improving regulatory environment makes it undervalued, while MDU's transition to regulated utility and pipeline operator justifies its 15% discount. OGE's execution and growth potential from data centers and crypto-mining load are offset by risks from challenging regulatory environment and capital investments. BKH's electric utility operations poised for growth, but $1.6B in debt maturities could create EPS headwind.
