How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q1
Can you, one, clarify, is that a pretax or posttax amount
Show response
CFO confirmed pretax, explained FY26 is a rebasing year, and stated confident in steady-state going into FY27 without another rebasing event.
can you maybe speak to how you're thinking about APT spreads maybe normalizing when you get back out to 2027
Show response
CEO deferred the normalization question, citing too much uncertainty over next 6 months. Declined to address whether the 6-8% growth rate requires spread normalization assumptions.

Calendar 2026 Q1
can you maybe just speak to sort of your approach to this case, just given the fact that historically, you've been able to settle in Pennsylvania except this one
Show response
John Griffith expressed confidence in Pennsylvania outcome, noting purposeful stakeholder engagement since last case and strong investment fundamentals. Rate cases involve financial and policy issues that don't always resolve in settlement.
When you do refresh your plan this year with Q3, will you incorporate that benefit into your plan? And could we see some sort of reduction in your equity needs
Show response
David Bowler confirmed the CAMT benefit will be incorporated in the Q3 plan refresh and equity needs will be evaluated at that time.

can you give some more color on whether these are expansions of existing facilities or customers

Could you give us some more color on sort of the agreement that you signed with Google to accelerate the load ramp there
Show response
Durian sized Google acceleration at 300 MW of total 3 GW. Production load starting H2 2026 ramping faster than originally anticipated through 2027-2028.
