Pinnacle West and Avista represent a classic investing tradeoff: faster growth with greater risks and a richer valuation vs. slower growth with a lower ceiling at a discounted price. Pinnacle West offers higher long-term growth potential driven by Arizona's electrification, but risks include its heavier capex, regulatory uncertainty, and increased leverage. Avista has provided steadier returns, a higher dividend yield, and a more conservative balance sheet, but has limited long-term growth catalysts.

I have a 'Buy' rating for Avista under $38, with a fair value estimate of $42.12, offering ~10% upside. Avista's regulated utility business, stable dividend yield, and modest growth support my investment thesis, despite lower ROE versus peers. My options strategy—selling puts and put spreads—offers leveraged returns, while I remain cautious due to illiquid options.
