In 2Q25, SO's revenue grew by 7.89% y/y to $6.98 billion. However, profitability deteriorated with operating income and net income declining by 9.03% and 26.85% respectively. The ongoing artificial intelligence revolution will result in a huge need in data centers, benefiting power generation related companies such as SO. Additionally, SO has already embarked on an aggressive CAPEX plan to meet the heightened demand. Importantly, SO managed to acquire the relevant financing, protecting its liquidity and dividend payouts.
