Southern Company (The) Series 2 · SOJE · NYSE · Utilities · Regulated Electric
Research dated 2026-09-12: Southern Company owns regulated electric utilities, wholesale generation assets and gas distribution networks; its revenue is therefore a blend of retail utility service, wholesale power sales and gas activity, not merely an electric bill stream. For the business behind SOJE, the deciding question is whether durable earnings and operating cash generation can keep pace with a capital program carried alongside heavy debt.

What is Southern Company (The) Series 2 (SOJE), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Southern Company’s traditional electric operating companies generate, transmit, distribute and sell power across southeastern states.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Southern Company’s traditional electric operating companies generate, transmit, distribute and sell power across southeastern states. Southern Power develops, acquires and manages generation assets, including renewable projects, for wholesale customers, while Southern Company Gas distributes natural gas and also houses marketing and pipeline activities.
Reported revenue and profit combine these businesses rather than measuring a pure regulated electric operation. Within the disclosed gas categories, distribution supplies most of the revenue, with marketing and pipeline investments contributing much less.
What do the latest results show for Southern Company (The) Series 2 (SOJE)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $6.98B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The latest reported period brought a sharp sequential decline in revenue, operating profit and net income, yet each remained above the comparable period. Reported EPS exceeded the estimate even though revenue fell short, so earnings held up better than sales relative to expectations.
Revenue movement reflects combined demand and pricing across regulated electric service, wholesale power and gas rather than a pure volume signal from any particular network. Full-period revenue had advanced while net income edged down, another sign that the top line and profit do not move in lockstep.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Southern Company (The) Series 2 (SOJE)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $2.98B at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $2.65B for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Southern Company remains profitable, with positive operating and net margins, but its balance sheet carries far more debt than cash and investments. Cash and short-term investments rebounded sharply in the latest period; adding long-term investments broadens the resource pool, though those holdings are not equivalent to immediate liquidity. Liquidity ratios also remain below full coverage of near-term obligations.
Operating cash flow has been positive throughout the displayed history, but capital spending has repeatedly absorbed more than the period’s operating inflow. The trailing free-cash-flow measure remains positive, yet the combination of heavy investment needs and substantial leverage leaves financing conditions and project spending as direct pressure points.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

USD. Negative operating cash flow means cash used. Capital expenditure keeps the provider’s reported sign; it is not added here to estimate free cash flow or runway.
What should you watch next at Southern Company (The) Series 2 (SOJE)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Nov 5, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
At the scheduled earnings update, watch whether revenue recovers from the latest sequential decline and whether EPS again clears expectations. More important for the funding picture, compare operating cash flow with capital spending and test whether the recent cash rebound persists without further widening the debt burden.
Long-range forecasts call for revenue and earnings to rise, but the revenue path comes from a narrow contributor base and should not be mistaken for broad agreement. Financing activity also deserves attention: a recent filing involved unregistered equity securities, while recent directional insider activity consisted of sales rather than purchases.
How does Southern Company (The) Series 2 compare with its peers?
Short answer
Southern Company (The) Series 2's score ranks tied for 3rd of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Southern Company differs from a pure regulated electric utility because it combines vertically integrated electric networks with wholesale generation and a substantial gas distributor. Southern Power sells generation into the wholesale market, while the gas operation extends the business beyond electricity and earns most of its disclosed revenue from distribution.
That mix gives consolidated revenue broader drivers than retail electric usage alone. It also means comparisons based only on regulated electric classification can miss the contribution and risk profile of wholesale power and gas activity.

Southern Company (The) Series 2 Utilities Stock: Key Questions Answered
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
What does Southern Power sell outside Southern Company’s regulated utilities?
Southern Power develops, acquires and manages generation assets, including renewable projects, and sells their output in the wholesale electricity market. That model differs from the traditional operating companies, which also own transmission and distribution infrastructure serving utility customers.
Why is gas distribution more important than Southern Company’s gas marketing and pipeline activities?
Gas distribution supplies most of the disclosed gas revenue. Marketing contributes a smaller share, while pipeline investments are comparatively minor.
Can Southern Company’s utility cash generation keep pace with its capital program?
Operating cash flow is substantial but uneven, and capital spending has exceeded it in many reported periods. The trailing free-cash-flow measure remains positive, making sustained coverage more informative than an isolated cash-flow result.
Did Southern Company clear earnings expectations when its latest revenue missed?
Reported EPS exceeded the estimate while revenue came in below the estimate. Earnings therefore performed better than sales relative to expectations in the latest release.
What is the SOJE stock price today?
The last price recorded on this page for Southern Company (The) Series 2 (SOJE) is $16.12, as of the Oct 2, 2026 trading session (source: Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) · quote). It is a provider snapshot, not a live exchange feed, so check a brokerage quote before you trade.

The 63 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
