Avista’s most recent notable news I found is that it updated its 2026 outlook and outlined a $3.4 billion capital expenditure plan in a May 12, 2026 filing. A recent market note also says Barclays lowered its Avista price target to $40 from $41 on May 7, 2026.[3][8]
What that means
The filing suggests Avista is still focused on long-term utility earnings growth and infrastructure investment. The analyst note is a market reaction rather than company news, but it reflects how investors are currently viewing the stock.[8][3]
Broader context
Avista is the utility company that serves electricity and natural gas customers in parts of the Pacific Northwest. If you meant Avista Healthcare Partners instead of Avista Corp, a recent update says it launched Birchwell Consumer Health and acquired Bag Balm on May 4, 2026.[1][2]
