Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Strong Q2 beat on revenue and earnings, visible regulated growth, and ACC rate-case settlements improve earnings visibility; liquidity support from extended credit line reduces funding risk for capex. Positive AZ growth tailwinds (TSMC investment, Route 347) bolster long-term service connections and rate-recovery potential.
