# IDACORP Inc. (IDA) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Utilities / Electric Utilities. Price $135.70, market value $7.8 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 22.5×** (5-yr avg 19.5×, 3-yr avg 19.3×). IDACORP Inc. trades at 22.5× 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 19.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 2.68**. A PEG of 2.68 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 4.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 4.5×.
- **Price / book: 2.0×**. The shares trade at 2.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 14.8×**. Enterprise value is 14.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -12.4%** (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: 4.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 23.3%**. 23.3% 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: 4.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 3.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 3.3% 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: 4.3×**. It would take 4.3 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.59%** ($3.50 per share, trailing). IDACORP Inc. yields 2.59%, 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.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 10.5%** (YTD 8.6%, 3-mo -4.0%). The shares are up 10.5% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -12.4%** (11.0% above the low). Trading 12% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 36**. An RSI of 36 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.04** (volatility 18%). Beta of 0.04 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
