45
of 100 · stored research reading
Stored Quality research reads 45 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.
Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

In the company’s own words
Regulated Businesses—Regulation and Rate Making for a discussion of these practices and mechanisms. While these practices and mechanisms may serve to mitigate or reduce regulatory lag in certain of our regulated jurisdictions, we continue to seek approval of regulatory practices and mechanisms to mitigate or reduce regulatory lag in other jurisdictions that have not approved them. Furthermore, PUCs may fail to adopt new surcharges or those permitted by applicable law, and existing practices and mechanisms may not continue in their current form, or at all, and we may be unable or become ineligible to continue to utilize them in the future. Although we intend to continue to seek regulatory PUC approval of practices or mechanisms to mitigate or reduce regulatory lag, our efforts may not be successful in whole or in part, and even to the extent successful, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity may be materially and adversely affected by regulatory lag.
Changes in laws and regulations can significantly and materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.
The impact of any future revisions or changes in interpretations of existing regulations or the adoption of new laws and regulations applicable to our Regulated Businesses is uncertain. Changes in laws or regulations, the imposition of additional laws and regulations, changes in enforcement practices of regulators, government policies or court decisions can materially affect our operations, results of operations and cash flows. Certain of the individuals who serve as regulators are elected or political appointees. Therefore, elections which result in a change of political administration or new appointments may also result in changes of the individuals who serve as regulators and changes in the policies of the regulatory agencies that they serve. New laws or regulations, new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, changes in agency policy, including those made in response to shifts in public opinion, or conditions imposed during the regulatory hearing process could have the following consequences, among others:
making it more difficult for us to increase our rates and, as a consequence, to recover our costs or earn our expected rates of return;
