Is IDA Bullish or Bearish?

Bullish. Innellis AI committee rates Idacorp (IDA) Buy with a composite score of 58/100 , based on 6 analysts with 67% agreement. Last updated October 16, 2026.

What Would Change This View

Upgrade to Strong Buy
Requires a committee score of 75.0 — +17.36 from today. Applies on the first day at or above the line; upgrades are never dampened.
Downgrade to Watch
Requires the score to fall below 55.0 — -2.64 from today. The band boundary is 60.0, but a one-step downgrade must clear a further margin first. A score oscillating around the line should not change the rating every night.

Executive Summary

The committee is genuinely divided. News Analyst sees a compelling case — news sentiment is positive (+0.50 across 6 articles, 14d). Portfolio Manager remains cautious — sector concentration is already high (hhi 2739.42). This disagreement is itself the signal — the setup is not clean in either direction.

Bull & Bear Case

Bull Case
  • Dividend yield of 3.4% pays you to wait — Value
  • 3 consecutive earnings beats -- consistent execution — Growth
  • MACD histogram positive -- bullish momentum — Technical
  • Weekly trend (sideways) confirms the daily trend -- multi-timeframe agreement — Technical
  • News sentiment is positive (+0.50 across 6 articles, 14d) — News
Bear Case
  • Revenue declining -0.4% YoY -- this is not a growth story right now — Growth
  • Growth rate is decelerating quarter over quarter -- the trend line matters more than the level — Growth
  • RSI at 72 is in overbought territory — Technical
  • Current ratio of 0.93 is tight -- limited short-term liquidity cushion — Risk
Both cases are generated from quantitative data signals, not qualitative or forward-looking judgement. They summarise what the numbers say today.
