About Otter Tail Corp

Otter Tail Corp. (Nasdaq: OTTR) is a U.S.-listed diversified company headquartered in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, in the United States. For French-, Belgian-, and Swiss-based investors, it stands out as a hybrid profile that combines a regulated electric utility with industrial manufacturing and plastics operations. This mix gives the company a balance between earnings visibility from regulated assets and incremental growth potential from its non-utility businesses. According to the company’s corporate profile, Otter Tail is built around a regulated electric platform and complemented by manufacturing and plastics businesses, with a mission to deliver value to shareholders, customers, and employees. ([ottertail.com](https://www.ottertail.com/investors/corporate-profile/default.aspx)) The core of the investment case is Otter Tail Power, the regulated utility subsidiary. It serves customers across parts of the Upper Midwest and is actively investing in grid reliability, transmission and distribution assets, renewable generation, battery storage, and related technology upgrades. Management has highlighted a multi-year capital plan that supports growth in the regulated rate base, with solar, wind repowering, and storage among the key investment themes. For investors, this regulated utility base is an important anchor because it typically provides steadier cash generation than a pure industrial model.

This diversification is a defining feature versus many U.S. utilities that remain almost entirely regulated. The industrial platform adds exposure to end-market demand, pricing dynamics, and operating leverage, while also contributing cash flow and helping fund utility investment needs. Management has repeatedly emphasized cost discipline, execution, and the ability of the non-regulated portfolio to produce accretive returns alongside the electric business. ([ottertail.com](https://www.ottertail.com/investors/corporate-profile/default.aspx)) Geographically, Otter Tail remains concentrated in the northern United States, with a practical operational footprint centered in the Midwest. That regional focus supports local utility relationships and a more stable customer base, but it also means results can be influenced by weather patterns, regulatory outcomes, and infrastructure recovery needs. Recent updates show the company executing well: in the first quarter of 2026 it affirmed full-year EPS guidance, secured approval of its fully settled South Dakota rate case, implemented new base rates in April, completed its wind repowering project, and finished the second phase of the Vinyltech expansion, adding 15% more production capacity.

In 2025, the company reported $1.304 billion of revenue, $276 million of net income, and diluted EPS of $6.55, while also maintaining a growing dividend profile. For European investors seeking U.S. listed income-oriented equities with a utility core and industrial upside, Otter Tail offers a differentiated combination of regulated earnings, capital investment visibility, and diversified cash generation.
