Southern Company retains a Buy rating, but its target price is lowered by 7% to $97 due to increased near-term capital expenditures. The company faces strong long-term demand from data centers, yet connection delays and high capital spending will pressure free cash flow and limit short-term gains. Management forecasts 8-9% adjusted EPS growth through 2028, supported by regulated asset base expansion and $81 billion planned CapEx. Despite high debt and capital spending constraining dividend growth, Southern Company's stable regulated business and 25-year dividend streak make it an attractive investment.
