# IDACORP Inc. (IDA) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Utilities / Electric Utilities. Price $145.12, market value $8.5 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 22.2×** (5-yr avg 19.5×, 3-yr avg 19.3×). IDACORP Inc. trades at 22.2× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 19.5×. The Utilities median in the September 2026 study was 21.2×. Forward P/E is 20.8×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 2.86**. A PEG of 2.86 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 4.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 4.4×.
- **Price / book: 2.1×**. The shares trade at 2.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 16.0×**. Enterprise value is 16.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -6.8%** (5-yr avg -4.8%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 4.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 24.5%**. 24.5% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 18.5%**. 18.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 9.1%**. 9.1% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.5%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.5%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 4.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -1.2%** (3-yr 3.9%/yr, 5-yr 6.3%/yr). Revenue fell 1.2% over the last year, against 6.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 7.3%** (3-yr 4.9%/yr, 5-yr 4.7%/yr). Earnings per share rose 7.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.97**. Debt is 0.97 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 4.4×**. It would take 4.4 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 0.93** (quick 0.93). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.48%** ($3.52 per share, trailing). IDACORP Inc. yields 2.48%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 58%**. 58% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 21**. 21 straight years of increases, a record that survived at least one recession.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 4.9%/yr** (1-yr 3.3%). The dividend has grown 4.9% a year over five years.
- **Shareholder yield: 2.5%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 2.5% of the market value a year.

- **From 52-week high: -6.3%** (16.9% above the low). Trading 6% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 73**. An RSI of 73 is in overbought territory; short-term pullbacks are common from here.
