what happened

Black Hills generated $466.1 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2026, up from $430.2 million a year earlier, according to TradingView's summary of the company's SEC filing. Profit attributable to common shareholders rose to $41 million from $24.9 million, lifting diluted earnings per share to $0.54 versus $0.34.

Most of the gain came from the electric unit, where operating income rose $14.5 million thanks to new rates, cost-recovery riders, milder weather and higher retail usage. The gas business added $4.2 million in operating income on similar drivers, including larger transportation volumes.

The company also pointed to demand from large power users. Wyoming Electric recorded a record system peak of 439 MW in July 2026, which it tied to data-center load. Agreements with Google span a 2.7 GW resource mix, with service slated to begin in late 2027 and reach projected peak load by the end of 2030.

why it matters

The key takeaway for investors is data-center demand for electricity: long-term contracts with a large technology buyer add visibility to utility revenue. Rate increases and cost-recovery riders also support earnings at regulated utilities, although weather-driven gains tend to fluctuate.
