Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Deleverage via asset sale reduces debt, improving leverage ratios and possibly credit metrics; capital recycling funds a substantial capex plan, supporting growth in regulated utilities and potentially lifting valuation multiples. Similar divestitures have historically supported share price rallies when they meaningfully improve balance sheet strength and cash-flow predictability.
