10:57 AM EDT, 09/24/2026 (MT Newswires) -- MGE Energy (MGEE) has strong growth potential, driven by a diversified business model, $1.9 billion in planned investment and favorable regulation, but its premium valuation limits upside, BofA Securities said in a note Thursday. The analysts said the company has a differentiated business that includes regulated electric and gas utilities, leased power generation, and a minority stake in American Transmission Company. This mix provides earnings visibility, diversification and several opportunities for growth. The company's plan to invest $1.9 billion through 2030 could also support faster earnings growth, according to the note. Wisconsin's forward-looking test years, project preapproval and returns during construction also help the company turn these investments into earnings. The investment firm said it is positive on the business but awaits a better price. BofA initiated coverage of MGE Energy at neutral with a $76 price target. The company's shares were down 1.4% in Thursday trading. Price: 69.86, Change: -1.00, Percent Change: -1.41

OpenAI is racing against time—in order to secure funding ahead of rival Anthropic’s IPO, the company has significantly compressed its fundraising timeline, aiming to complete approximately $30 billion in private financing, which could push its valuation past $1.4 trillion upon completion. Major investors such as SoftBank and MGX are already engaged in discussions. Both AI giants are targeting trillion-dollar valuations, and their largely overlapping investor bases are being forced to make simultaneous bets on both ventures within just a few days.
