Price vs fair value IDA trades at a **PREMIUM of 35.00%** to our fair-value estimate of 93.79 and a **discount of 9.83%** to the analyst 12-month target of 158.60. - Q2 2026 earnings outpaced estimates with revenue growth (Zacks, 2026-07-30). - Strong customer growth and raised guidance highlighted in earnings call (GuruFocus.com, 2026-07-31). - Analysts note utilities lagging, which may temper near-term sentiment (Zacks, 2026-07-28).
Looking forward Forward P/E is 23.09 with a PEG of 3.37, suggesting valuation is stretched relative to growth. Analysts see potential upside to 158.60, but weak quality and high leverage (Debt/Equity 1.10) remain risks. Focus on execution of hydropower and battery storage initiatives.
