NorthWestern Energy Q3 EPS falls to $0.50 from $0.62; 2026 guidance affirmed

Mixed earnings 2.027.01

NorthWestern Energy reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $30.7 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, down from $38.2 million, or $0.62, a year earlier, mainly due to a $6.1 million net loss tied to its added Colstrip Units 3 and 4 interests, plus higher depreciation and interest expense. The company affirmed its 2026 non-GAAP earnings guidance of $3.68 to $3.83 per diluted share, but the guidance is standalone and will no longer apply if the pending Black Hills merger closes, which the company expects by year-end 2026.

  • Q3 2026 net income $30.7 million ($0.50 per diluted share) vs. $38.2 million ($0.62) in Q3 2025; total revenues rose to $423.8 million from $387.0 million
  • Adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.58 vs. $0.79 a year earlier; 2026 guidance of $3.68 to $3.83 per diluted share affirmed
  • Merger with Black Hills expected to close by year-end 2026, pending a Montana Public Service Commission final order
  • Quarterly dividend of $0.67 per share payable December 1, 2026, to holders of record on November 17, 2026 (previously set for December 31 and December 15)
