Research dated 2026-09-12: SOJC is an exchange-listed junior note tied to Southern Company, not a standalone utility operation. The issuer combines regulated electric networks, wholesale power generation and natural-gas distribution, making debt-funded capital spending and cash conversion more important to this security than a simple reading of utility revenue growth.

What is The Southern Company JR 2017B NT 77 (SOJC), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Southern Company generates and delivers electricity through vertically integrated utilities, sells power from generation assets into wholesale markets, and distributes natural gas across several states.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Southern Company generates and delivers electricity through vertically integrated utilities, sells power from generation assets into wholesale markets, and distributes natural gas across several states. The gas operation also includes marketing services and pipeline investments, though distribution supplies most of the disclosed gas revenue.
Revenue, profit, earnings per share, cash flow and debt measure the consolidated issuer. SOJC represents a junior financing claim on that issuer rather than ownership of a separate operating business, so common-stock valuation ratios describe Southern Company while the note’s position depends on issuer credit and payment capacity.
What do the latest results show for The Southern Company JR 2017B NT 77 (SOJC)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $6.98B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The latest comparable quarterly result showed nearly unchanged revenue alongside higher operating profit, net income and earnings per share. Reported earnings exceeded expectations even though revenue fell short, reversing the preceding report’s combination of revenue and earnings outperformance.
The annual pattern carries the same warning against treating sales growth as automatic earnings growth: revenue advanced while net income eased. Southern Company’s mix of regulated electricity, wholesale generation and gas distribution means changes in consolidated profit conversion matter alongside the top line; the reported figures establish that divergence without assigning it to a particular operating cause.
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 The Southern Company JR 2017B NT 77 (SOJC)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $2.98B at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $3.05B for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Operations continue to produce substantial cash, but recent capital spending has exceeded operating cash flow. That gap is especially relevant for an asset-heavy utility group because investment in generation, transmission, distribution and gas infrastructure cannot be separated from the business model.
Cash and short-term investments rebounded sharply from the preceding period, yet remain small beside total debt and liabilities. Near-term liquidity ratios also sit below full coverage, while the distress screen remains cautionary; none of these readings predicts default, but together they show continued dependence on durable operating cash flow and access to financing.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

What should you watch next at The Southern Company JR 2017B NT 77 (SOJC)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Oct 29, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The next earnings release should be read for the relationship among revenue, operating profit and reported earnings. The latest report paired an earnings beat with a revenue miss, while longer-range estimates assume continued expansion; confirmation requires profit growth that persists without a widening cash deficit against capital spending.
Cash retention, debt funding and securities issuance deserve equal attention. Recent filings included financing-related events and an unregistered equity securities sale, so the practical question is whether external capital continues to bridge spending needs while recurring SOJC distributions remain steady.

How is The Southern Company JR 2017B NT 77 scored?
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Southern Company differs from a pure regulated electric utility because the parent also owns wholesale generation assets and a sizable gas distribution platform. It likewise differs from a merchant generator because vertically integrated regulated networks remain central to how electricity reaches customers.
SOJC also requires a different comparison from Southern Company common equity. Earnings multiples and book-value ratios describe the issuer, whereas the junior note is chiefly exposed to payment continuity, financing demands, debt capacity and its place in the capital structure.

What Investors Ask About The Southern Company JR 2017B NT 77 (SOJC) — Utilities
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.
Does SOJC represent a separate Southern Company utility?
SOJC is an exchange-listed junior note tied to Southern Company. The operating figures describe the consolidated issuer rather than a standalone SOJC business.
What businesses support the Southern Company issuer behind SOJC?
The issuer combines vertically integrated electric utilities, wholesale power generation and natural-gas distribution. Gas distribution contributes most of the separately disclosed gas revenue, alongside smaller marketing and pipeline activities.
How did Southern Company’s latest earnings surprise differ from its revenue surprise?
Reported earnings exceeded expectations while revenue missed the corresponding estimate. The comparable quarterly statements still showed improved operating profit and net income on nearly unchanged revenue.
Can Southern Company’s recent operating cash flow cover capital spending?
Recent capital spending has run above operating cash flow, leaving a funding gap before distributions and other financing needs. The large debt load makes the persistence of that gap important for SOJC holders.
What is the SOJC stock price today?
The last price recorded on this page for The Southern Company JR 2017B NT 77 (SOJC) is $18.81, 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.
Does SOJC pay a dividend?
Yes. The Southern Company JR 2017B NT 77 (SOJC) shows a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 6.98%, as of Oct 2, 2026, in the data on this page. Payout ratio and cash-flow coverage decide whether it can last, and past dividends do not guarantee future payments.

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.
