Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
Pinnacle West should benefit from investing in the infrastructure that will be needed to support renewable energy targets in Arizona and surrounding states.
Bears
Utility regulation in Arizona has a history of political influence, creating more regulatory uncertainty than at other utilities and raising risk for shareholders.
