NiSource (NI) remains a 'buy' as its innovative data center agreements, notably with Amazon, position it for sustained growth and regulatory favor. NI's model isolates data center capex and returns, protecting existing customers from rate hikes while securing guaranteed returns and surcharges to reduce bills. With a $29B five-year capex plan and at least 8% projected EPS growth, NI offers a compelling blend of income and growth.
