Fortis's confidence over its dividend payouts stems from its low-risk and diversified utility assets. Fortis owns 10 regulated utility businesses that account for 99% of its earnings. Meanwhile, its $19.6 billion capital plan would drive its rate base at a CAGR of 6% through 2025. I believe rate base growth and increase in retail electricity sales will likely drive its earnings and, in turn, its dividends. Further, an increase in renewable generation capacity and strategic acquisitions augur well for future growth.
