Some institutional investors establish a significant position in stocks such as Avista in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of Avista, and when they decide to sell, the stock will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value. So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits.
At present, Avista's Dividend Payout Ratio is projected to increase slightly based on the last few years of reporting. The current year's Dividend Paid And Capex Coverage Ratio is expected to grow to 0.90, whereas Dividends Paid is forecasted to decline to about 72.7 M. As of November 22, 2024, Common Stock Shares Outstanding is expected to decline to about 60.2 M. In addition to that, Net Income Applicable To Common Shares is expected to decline to about 108.8 M.

The market value of Avista is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Avista that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Avista's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Avista's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Avista's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Avista's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Avista's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Avista is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Avista's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
