Black Hills Corporation: Expanding Data Center & Blockchain Opportunities For A Competitive Edge!

Black Hills Corporation, in its third-quarter 2024 results, highlighted both operational successes and financial challenges. The company reported a decrease in earnings per share (EPS) to $0.35 from $0.67 in the same quarter of the previous year, which can be attributed to a combination of factors including increased operating expenses, unplanned generation outages, and lower off-system sales. Despite these challenges, Black Hills maintained its full-year earnings guidance of $3.80 to $4.00 per share, suggesting some level of confidence in hitting its financial targets by the end of the year.
