Fortis - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Fortis
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Fortis Inc.:

Fortis Inc. reported an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.85 for the latest quarter, significantly exceeding analysts' expectations of $0.59. This strong performance indicates robust profitability, which can be a positive signal for investors.
The company has a solid revenue of $2.03 billion for the quarter, surpassing the anticipated $2.01 billion. Consistent revenue growth can lead to increased shareholder value over time.
As of the latest trading session, Fortis Inc. stock is priced at $40.71. This price point may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for utility stocks with stable dividends.
Fortis Inc. has a dividend yield of 4.18%, which is attractive for income-focused investors. The company recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.4382, reflecting its commitment to returning value to shareholders.
Institutional ownership is strong, with 57.77% of the stock held by hedge funds and other institutional investors. High institutional ownership can indicate confidence in the company's future performance.

Fortis
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Fortis Inc. for these reasons:

Fortis Inc. has faced recent downgrades from analysts, including a cut from "outperform" to "market perform" by Raymond James. Such downgrades can signal potential challenges ahead for the company's stock performance.
The company has a relatively high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.32, indicating that it relies significantly on debt to finance its operations. High leverage can increase financial risk, especially in volatile markets.
Analysts have set a price target that suggests limited upside potential for the stock, which may deter new investors looking for growth opportunities.
Fortis Inc. has a dividend payout ratio of 76.47%, which is relatively high. This means a large portion of earnings is being paid out as dividends, leaving less room for reinvestment in growth initiatives.
Recent reports indicate that the company has cut its dividend, which can be a red flag for income investors who rely on consistent dividend payments.
