MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Fortis Inc.:

  • Fortis Inc. recently beat analyst expectations for earnings per share in its latest quarterly report, posting $0.56 compared to the consensus estimate of $0.55, which demonstrates the company's ability to deliver consistent profitability despite broader economic headwinds.
  • The company offers a stable income stream with a dividend yield of 3.30%, and it recently paid a quarterly dividend of $0.64 per share, making it an attractive option for income-focused investors seeking regular cash flow.
  • Fortis Inc. exhibits low volatility with a beta of 0.42, meaning its stock price tends to fluctuate less than the overall market, which can provide a defensive characteristic for portfolios during periods of market uncertainty.
  • Institutional investors continue to show confidence in the company, with major entities like the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and BlackRock Inc. establishing or increasing their positions in the second quarter of 2026.
  • The stock is currently trading at $55.28, which is below its 52-week high of $59.40, potentially offering a more favorable entry point for long-term investors compared to recent peaks.

Fortis
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Fortis Inc. for these reasons:

  • Revenue for the most recent quarter came in at $1.67 billion, significantly missing the analyst consensus estimate of $1.83 billion, which may indicate challenges in top-line growth or operational efficiency.
  • The company carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.27, which is relatively high for a utility sector firm, suggesting a significant leverage burden that could impact financial flexibility or credit ratings.
  • Wall Street analysts have recently downgraded their outlook, with the consensus rating shifting to "Hold" and the average price target decreasing to $66.33, reflecting a more cautious stance on future performance.
  • Short interest in the stock has been increasing, with shares shorted rising to 15.7 million as of August 2026, indicating that a growing number of traders are betting against the stock's price appreciation.
  • The current price-to-earnings ratio of 22.38 is relatively high for a utility company, which may limit the upside potential for capital appreciation compared to peers with lower valuations.
