New York, NY – October 29, 2025 – Natural gas futures have surged dramatically in late October 2025, driven by sudden and widespread forecasts of significantly colder weather across the central and eastern United States. This abrupt shift from a relatively mild autumn has sent ripples through the energy markets, triggering a
Black Hills Corp. and NorthWestern Energy plan to merge in all-stock, tax-free deal to create a $7.8B regulated utility giant serving 2.1M customers in 8 states.
Dividend-paying utilities tend to benefit from lower interest rates, as their relatively high yields become more attractive compared to bonds and other fixed-income investments.
NorthWestern Energy Group Inc. is currently yielding just over 5%, which is one of the stock’s highest yields in the last 10 years, and has raised its dividend for nearly two decades.
