Generates, transmits, and distributes electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Operates in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Now — the numbers.

We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit indicators sit around the sector average.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
The price isn’t cheap next to earnings — that’s why this grade sits in the middle.
There is growth, but not at top-of-the-class tempo.
Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
No real weak spot in any of the five subjects — a balanced report card.
The stock trades below its recent peak — about 12% off the top. A pullback, not a collapse.
The net profit margin is 21% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.
It met or beat analyst expectations in 8 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 42 buys and 41 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
Over the last 4 years, sales grew only 2% a year on average. At this size, speeding back up is not easy.
On our five-subject report card, OTTR sits in the middle of the class: some subjects shine, others don’t. The grade moves as the numbers move.
The takeaway: OTTR is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate isn’t the quality of the business — it’s what that quality should cost.
