What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
NorthWestern Energy reported Q3 2026 net income of $30.7 million ($0.50 per diluted share), down from $38.2 million ($0.62) in 2025. The decline was primarily due to a $6.1 million net loss from Colstrip Units 3 and 4 ownership and related depreciation. The result highlights ongoing Colstrip exposure on cash flow and potential regulatory considerations for future returns.
