MERRILLVILLE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI) today announced, on a GAAP basis, net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, of $474.8 million, or $1.00 of earnings per diluted share, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $344.3 million, or $0.77 of earnings per diluted share, for the same period of 2024.
NiSource also reported first quarter 2025 non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common shareholders of $462.3 million, or $0.98 of adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common shareholders of $382.8 million, or $0.85 of adjusted EPS, for the same period of 2024. Schedule 1 of this press release contains a complete reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures. **
NiSource is reaffirming 2025 non-GAAP adjusted EPS guidance of $1.85-$1.89 as well as 8%-10% rate base growth and non-GAAP adjusted EPS growth of 6%-8% annually for the 2025-2029 period.
'The NiSource team is working hard to execute on plans for the growth and sustainability of our business and provide safe, reliable service to our customers,' said NiSource President and CEO, Lloyd Yates. 'Our first quarter results are yet another demonstration of our strong business fundamentals. Despite market conditions and other forces beyond our control, the longevity of our plan is enduring and our investments are resilient. I'd like to thank our committed employees and contractors for their ongoing efforts to ensure our communities are safe and receive reliable energy.'
**Non-GAAP Disclosure Statement
This press release includes financial results and guidance for NiSource with respect to adjusted net income available to common shareholders and adjusted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC. The company includes these measures because management believes they permit investors to view the company's performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the company's ongoing business performance. With respect to guidance on adjusted EPS, NiSource reminds investors that it does not provide a GAAP equivalent of its guidance on adjusted net income available to commons shareholders due to the impact of unpredictable factors such as fluctuations in weather, impact of asset sales and impairments and other unusual or infrequent items included in the comparable GAAP measures. The company is not able to estimate the impact of such factors on the comparable GAAP measures and, as such, is not providing guidance on a GAAP basis. In addition, the company is not able to provide a reconciliation of its non-GAAP adjusted EPS guidance to the comparable GAAP equivalents without unreasonable efforts.

Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Copa Holdings, S.A. (NYSE:CPA)?
Copa Holdings, S.A. (NYSE:CPA), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NYSE over the last few months. The recent share price gains has brought the company back closer to its yearly peak. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock's share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Today we will analyse the most recent data on Copa Holdings's outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Great news for investors – Copa Holdings is still trading at a fairly cheap price according to our price multiple model, where we compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, we've used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock's cash flows. we find that Copa Holdings's ratio of 6.96x is below its peer average of 10.52x, which indicates the stock is trading at a lower price compared to the Airlines industry. However, given that Copa Holdings's share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility. View our latest analysis for Copa Holdings Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let's also take a look at the company's future expectations. Copa Holdings' earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 25%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value. Are you a shareholder? Since CPA is currently trading below the industry PE ratio, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic profit outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current price multiple. Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping an eye on CPA for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its prosperous future profit outlook isn't fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it's not too late to buy CPA. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed investment decision. If you want to dive deeper into Copa Holdings, you'd also look into what risks it is currently facing.

The Return Trends At Newmont (NYSE:NEM) Look Promising
If you're looking for a multi-bagger, there's a few things to keep an eye out for. In a perfect world, we'd like to see a company investing more capital into its business and ideally the returns earned from that capital are also increasing. Basically this means that a company has profitable initiatives that it can continue to reinvest in, which is a trait of a compounding machine. With that in mind, we've noticed some promising trends at Newmont (NYSE:NEM) so let's look a bit deeper. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Just to clarify if you're unsure, ROCE is a metric for evaluating how much pre-tax income (in percentage terms) a company earns on the capital invested in its business. To calculate this metric for Newmont, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.14 = US$7.0b ÷ (US$56b - US$5.4b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). So, Newmont has an ROCE of 14%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Metals and Mining industry average of 9.8% it's much better. View our latest analysis for Newmont Above you can see how the current ROCE for Newmont compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you'd like, you can check out the forecasts from the analysts covering Newmont for free. Investors would be pleased with what's happening at Newmont. Over the last five years, returns on capital employed have risen substantially to 14%. The amount of capital employed has increased too, by 33%. So we're very much inspired by what we're seeing at Newmont thanks to its ability to profitably reinvest capital. A company that is growing its returns on capital and can consistently reinvest in itself is a highly sought after trait, and that's what Newmont has. Investors may not be impressed by the favorable underlying trends yet because over the last five years the stock has only returned 15% to shareholders. So exploring more about this stock could uncover a good opportunity, if the valuation and other metrics stack up. If you'd like to know more about Newmont, we've spotted 2 warning signs, and 1 of them makes us a bit uncomfortable. While Newmont may not currently earn the highest returns, we've compiled a list of companies that currently earn more than 25% return on equity. Check out this free list here.

1 Magnificent Growth Stock to Buy Before It Soars Higher After This Event
Oracle stock gained momentum after its latest quarterly report. The stock seems primed for more upside thanks to rapidly growing demand for Oracle's cloud infrastructure. Oracle is on track to deliver faster earnings growth in the future, which could help the stock sustain its bull run. 10 stocks we like better than Oracle › Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) stock has been in fine form on the market over the past couple of months, gaining 77% from its April 21 52-week low. And it looks like this technology giant is primed for more upside following the release of its latest quarterly report. Oracle reported its fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter results (for the three months ended May 31) on June 11. The market reacted positively, pushing the price higher for reasons that aren't all that surprising. Oracle, which made its name by selling database management software, now benefits from the tremendous demand for its cloud infrastructure services. The company not only delivered better-than-expected numbers, but it also issued solid guidance that points toward an even better year. Let's take a look at Oracle's latest report and why it may be a good idea to buy the stock right away. Oracle ended fiscal 2025 with $57.4 billion in annual revenue, up 9% in constant currency terms. The company expects to deliver at least $67 billion in revenue in fiscal 2026 (a jump of almost 17%). Don't be surprised to see Oracle clock even stronger growth, as only some of the company's artificial intelligence (AI)-related catalysts are baked into the guidance. On the earnings call, Oracle Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison said that the company's revenue pipeline could be much larger than what it is projected in the earnings report. The cloud giant reported a 41% year-over-year increase in its remaining performance obligations (RPO) in fiscal Q4 to $138 billion. RPO refers to the total value of Oracle's contracts that are yet to be fulfilled at the end of a quarter, and the massive increase in this metric explains why it is expecting a stronger top-line increase this year. CEO Safra Catz projects the company's RPO will more than double in fiscal 2026, outpacing the projected growth in its revenue, which can set the stage for years of strong growth for the company. This massive increase in Oracle's RPO can be attributed to the stunning demand for its cloud infrastructure, which is being used for AI training and inference purposes by customers. According to Ellison, Oracle could be understating its RPO if the $500 billion Stargate AI infrastructure project it is a part of pans out as expected. Oracle is one of the key technology partners and funders of the OpenAI-led venture that's backed by SoftBank and Abu Dhabi-based MGX, and it will "closely collaborate to build and operate" AI infrastructure as a part of this project. Meanwhile, the booming demand for cloud AI infrastructure to train and deploy AI applications in general is going to be a long-term tailwind for Oracle, which is finding it difficult to deploy enough capacity to meet the demand. Ellison told analysts on the earnings call that one of its customers wanted to buy Oracle's entire cloud capacity. Not surprisingly, Oracle is going to build 30 dedicated data centers in fiscal 2026, apart from the existing 29 that it already has. It also plans to increase its MultiCloud data centers, which it operates with other major cloud computing providers such as Amazon, Alphabet's Google, and Microsoft, from the current strength of 23 by building another 47 MultiCloud data centers over the next year. This focus on capacity expansion is the reason why the company is forecasting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) revenue to grow at a faster pace of 70% in fiscal 2026, following a 50% jump last year. In all, Oracle could be at the beginning of a terrific growth curve, considering the potential catalysts such as Stargate and the opportunity in the cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) market that's expected to generate a whopping $712 billion in revenue by 2032, growing at an annual rate of 21%. Oracle delivered non-GAAP (adjusted) net income of $6.03 per share in fiscal 2025, an increase of 8.5% from the prior year. Investors should note that the company's capital expenses more than tripled during the year to $21.2 billion. Its forecast of $25 billion in capital expenses for fiscal 2026, which points toward a slower increase from last year, explains why analysts expect faster bottom-line growth from Oracle this year, and beyond. Moreover, the company seems on its way to crushing its own long-term expectations. Oracle pointed out last year that it expects to hit $66 billion in revenue in fiscal 2026, but its forecast points toward a bigger jump. Also, Oracle expects its bottom line to grow at an annual pace of more than 20% through fiscal 2029. Oracle could eventually do better than that as the market it is serving is massive and the revenue pipeline it is building is remarkable. All this makes Oracle a top AI stock to buy right now as it is trading at just 31 times forward earnings. That's in line with the Nasdaq-100 index's earnings multiple, suggesting that investors can buy Oracle right now at a very attractive valuation, considering the healthy upside it could deliver in the long run.
